The polls speak clearly: immigration problem at the center of voters' concerns. Even those on the left
Of Claudio Cartaldo
I polls they say it clearly and the facts of Macerata, Perhaps, they will only add to the trend: for Italians preparing to vote the most important issue is immigration.
Considered a more pressing issue than working conditions, to unemployment or taxes.
A recent study conducted by Ixè, as reported by Press, makes it stand out as among young Italians among the 18 and i 34 years the 40% of these ask for limits “severe” to immigration. A fact which is already significant in itself, to which, however, iun must also be added 25% who does not hide in wanting a clear closure of the ports. Adding the two percentages, we arrive at 65% of voters “young” stand against mass migration against a miserable 35% favorable to full integration.
“Among older age groups these numbers increase – explains Roberto Weber, president of Ixé – people tend to be even more distrustful of foreigners“. A to be curious, but, it's like the electorate normally “left” consider this a hot topic, enough to consider one possible “migration” electoral towards the right. “Until a few years ago – explains Weber to the Press – center-left voters were rather unfamiliar with this feeling of fear. Now everything has changed: the fear of the immigrant has also entered the living flesh of the Democratic Party electorate. The current numbers of Salvini's League are largely explained by the long campaign that was conducted on the topic of immigration”. And the Pd continues to lose votes on immigration, despite the policies implemented by Marco Minniti.
