There’s no transcript of the video at the link, so here’s some excerpts from additional written sources.

In a memo from Mr Salvini, local authorities were asked to carry out reconnaissance on the presence of Roma, Sinti and Camminanti settlements within their territories, in order to “prepare a plan of clearances”. The survey calls for authorities to state the type of settlement, the number of inhabitants and children, the type of living accommodation and whether there are water, electric and sewage facilities.

According to the Council of Europe, Italy has one of the lowest concentrations of [Roma, Sinti, and Camminanti] groups in the EU, with a population of between 120,000 and 180,000, according to the AFP. More than half of these people are Italian citizens who have integrated into mainstream society, AFP claims.

Despite this, hate crimes and prejudice against Roma, Sinti, and Camminanti are rampant, particularly against the less fortunate, some of whom still live in unofficial settlements.

Some 26,000 members of these groups were living in emergency shelters or camps across Italy in 2017, according to the advocacy group Associazione 21 Luglio.

Salvini, who is also leader of the far-right Lega party, has called for non-Italians found amongst the Roma, Sinti, and Camminanti to be rounded up and sent back to their countries of origin.
