Opposition leader in Italy denounces gypsy camp attacks
Italy’s top opposition leader today denounced attacks on Gypsy camps, as Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s new government prepared a crackdown on immigration and the European Parliament agreed to a debate on how Gypsies are treated in Italy.
Centre-left leader Walter Veltroni, who lost to Mr Berlusconi last month in elections, urged the government to balance security concerns with human rights.
