Potere al Popolo protests detention of homeless person in Catanzaro

The political movement Potere al Popolo in Catanzaro has issued a statement contesting the recent detention of a foreign homeless individual. Following reports from the local community, law enforcement intercepted the individual and ordered their transfer to a repatriation center (CPR).

Potere al Popolo criticizes the decision to treat social fragility solely as a security issue. The movement argues that such actions represent a militarization of public spaces and a repression of social marginality through incarceration. They have called for the dismantling of repatriation centers, describing them as sites that compress human rights.

Instead of repressive measures, the movement advocates for security through social inclusion, including better housing policies, job stability, and essential services to address the economic roots of social marginality.
