罗马一处社会救济中心因火灾被迫关闭，约400名居民被赶到街头露营。[1] 这家名为Spin Time Labs的中心自2013年以来一直被基层组织占用，为包括儿童、老人和残疾人在内的弱势群体提供住所。[1] 火灾发生于7月29日凌晨。[1]
事件凸显了意大利政府与社会倡导者之间的冲突。Meloni政府面临执行早已存在的驱逐令——该令由法官在2020年首次下达，早于现任政府2022年上台——但因社会和法律风险而延迟行动。[1] 此前，内政部因未执行驱逐令被判赔偿2100万欧元。[1] 尽管如此，政府仍在推进对非法占用建筑的打击。
这一决定招致广泛反对。包括奥斯卡奖得主Paolo Sorrentino在内的意大利文化人士呼吁帮助居民，[1] 作家Roberto Saviano将该中心称为"民主的象征"而非犯罪行为。[1] 罗马左翼议会和梵蒂冈也对该中心表示支持。[1] 罗马议会提议购买该建筑以维持社区功能，[1] 当地政界和艺术界呼吁允许居民返回或提供替代住所。[1]
A fire at Spin Time Labs, a Rome-based social relief center, forced the facility to shut down in the early hours of July 29, leaving approximately 400 residents displaced and camping on the streets [1]. The center, which had been occupied by grassroots organizations since 2013, provided shelter and services to vulnerable populations including children, elderly people, and individuals with disabilities [1]. The closure comes as the Meloni government intensifies efforts to enforce eviction orders against occupied buildings, despite the facility having garnered support from Rome's left-wing city council and the Vatican [1].
The government's action builds on an eviction order originally issued by a judge in 2020, predating the current administration's 2022 takeover [1]. The Interior Ministry faced a court judgment requiring it to pay €21 million in compensation for failing to execute the eviction order [1]. Officials have cited social and legal risks in delaying implementation of the removal. In response to the displacement, prominent Italian cultural figures, including Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino, have called for assistance to be provided to the residents [1]. Writer Roberto Saviano characterized the center as "a symbol of democracy" rather than a criminal enterprise, adding his voice to calls for the government to either permit residents to return or secure alternative accommodation [1]. The Rome city council has proposed purchasing the building to maintain the community, though the government's position remains firm on the eviction enforcement [1].
