Today, according to Italian law would be illegal. A ghost with no rights, one of those which deliver a piece of it away and come back to where you came. It would be, because Fatima is gone. She committed suicide by jumping into the river Brembo Ponte San Pietro, near Bergamo. "The thought terrified her to be illegal," Mohamed repeats thus justifying the ultimate gesture of his sister. That maybe it would not tolerate the thought of being surprised by some malicious patrol as he walked the streets of his country.
Twenty-seven years, Moroccan and a dream becomes an obsession, "Being Italian in every respect." And at all costs. He repeated it for some time, is confident his brother, "but in recent days has come the particular anxiety. He had read about the history the crime of illegal immigration and the idea of \u200b\u200bparting from us did not sleep at night. " For five years he lived in with the Bergamasco brothers and parents. All regular, but her. And this thing "did not make her sleep." He tried several ways to obtain Italian citizenship, "but all have closed the door on him," says Mohamed. He could ask the sponsor (see the brothers regular), but no one has done nothing to rectify its position.
Without a job and no friends his life was not. The only contact he had with the outside world thanks to a friend of his mother which was often. And she said to go well last Thursday, when he left home for the last time. His body was found yesterday, noticed under a bridge by some passers-by. On the real reasons for the death of Fatima, however, the police are cautious. The fear of being deported can be only one aspect, they say, that led you to make the gesture. The girl, they tell the men of the Force, was suffering from "mental problems" that may have "exacerbated" the situation. However, contradicted by his brother: "He was only the strong stomach pains." To this was often the city hospital, presenting the identity of her sister (who lives elsewhere and regular), but the doctors had found nothing wrong. But without being so
to dwell on the root cause that led her to suicide, the story of Fatima is still a high emotional impact. Came just hours after the entry into force of the security package and media campaign after months of anti-illegal fielded by the government. A story "that shows dramatically what is the reality of life for many immigrants, who often remain in silence," so Livia Turkish, Democratic Party leader in the House Committee on Social Affairs. By the majority, however, no word. The tragic death of an illegal immigrant does not deserve even to be commented.
