Via Paruta, illegal mosque. The League: "Stop the Arab ghetto"

Authorities are criticized for their inaction regarding an unlicensed mosque in Via Paruta, as local politicians demand intervention.

The controversial issue of an unlicensed mosque located in Via Paruta, Milan, has resurfaced, prompting local politicians from the League party to call for action. Despite numerous complaints from residents about the unauthorized construction of this place of worship, city officials have shown little to no response. The situation remains tense as the mosque continues to operate without the necessary permits, raising concerns among locals about its impact on the neighborhood.

Politicians such as Silvia Sardone, national vice-secretary and councilor, as well as Samuele Piscina, provincial secretary, have publicly voiced their frustrations during recent inspections of the site. They emphasize that the City of Milan has already documented the illegality of the mosque's existence, which contradicts the ongoing situation where no sufficient action has been taken. This inaction has led to growing alarm within the community, especially as residents report hearing calls to prayer echoing through the streets, further intensifying apprehensions about the establishment of an 'Arab ghetto'.

The lack of adequate responses from the city government is raising questions about their priorities and effectiveness in addressing local concerns. As the community grows increasingly frustrated with what they perceive as neglect, the calling for stricter oversight of places of worship is expected to gain momentum. The League party’s stance against what they term an 'Arab ghetto' reflects broader societal debates in Italy about immigration, integration, and urban development.
