Torchia told local television that while “we take (the decree) with a bit of irony,” it is intended to highlight the town’s inadequate access to healthcare. “This is not just a provocation, the ordinance is a cry for help, a way to shine a spotlight on an unacceptable situation,” Torchia told local news outlet Corriere della Calabria. The ordinance will stay in effect until the town’s public health center is open regularly, the mayor said. Over 75% of Calabria towns – roughly 320 – currently had fewer than 5,000 residents in 2021, sparking fears that some communities could die out completely without regeneration. “I am a drop in the ocean,” Torchia told local broadcaster LaC News24.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Texas migrants he sent to Martha's Vineyard "hit the jackpot." Ron DeSantis on Sunday gave himself a pat on the back for sending 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard. Though locals in Martha's Vineyard moved swiftly to help when the news broke, DeSantis insisted liberal sanctuaries aren't as welcoming as they say they are. A homeless shelter on the vineyard said on Friday that it didn't have the bandwidth to take on the dozens of migrants.
DeSantis claimed credit for a pair of chartered flights on Wednesday that carried around 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, as part of a broader Republican effort to shift responsibility for border crossers to Democratic leaders. "There may be more flights, there may be buses," he said to cheers and applause from backers in the crowd. The state paid $615,000 to Vertol Systems Company Inc, an aviation business, on Sept. 8 as part of a "relocation program of unauthorized aliens," Florida state data showed. The flights to Martha's Vineyard follow a busing effort by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, another Republican, that has sent more than 10,000 migrants to the Democrat-controlled cities of Washington, New York and Chicago since April. The Republican governor of Arizona also has sent more than 1,800 migrants to Washington.
