Visit of the UN Rapporteur on housing rights, but which city wants to sell the UN-Habitat to the free-market?

Visita della Relatrice della ONU sul diritto alla casa, ma quali città vuole mettere in vendita la Fiera-mercato ONU-Habitat?

Campi ROM Giuliano

Naples, September 3rd  2012

Naples has given a special welcome to the Urban Social Forum (USF). While the UN-Habitat trade fair has refused to include burning issues in the official agenda, such as evictions, yesterday morning a delegation of the USF, in conjunction with Raquel Rolnik (the United Nations Special Rapporteur on housing right) met the social organisations in the working class areas of Scampia and the residents of Giugliano, a rom camp, which has been served with an eviction notice for September 7th . The reports of violations gathered in Naples, and at a national level, have put Italy at the top of the list of the Rapporteur's official missions in the coming months.
