And Rosarno has opened a Pandora's box Domenico Naso ( Farefuturo ) No more doing good and things not said: in Italy there is slavery. And more specifically, in Rosario, a city of fifteen thousand inhabitants in the plain of Gioia Tauro. This small strip of Calabria is home to five thousand immigrants, making it, according to a report by Doctors Without Borders, the third area in Italy for foreigners in relation to density of population after Naples and Foggia. Twenty-three different nationalities for a people that crowds of desperate campaigns. Collect citrus and tomatoes, immigrants Rosarno, playing an exhausting work that Italians do not want to do. Not bad, except that the conditions of work and life of these people are well beyond the limits acceptable in a civilized country. A hard day's work many hours, too. And the compensation never exceeds 20 €. And then after work in the fields, in the darkness of the Calabrian countryside thousands of immigrants returning home on foot, filling the streets like an army of zombies. And at home, in fact, not even the shadow, since they live in abandoned industrial buildings, without mattresses, water, electricity and gas. Or toilet.
What's more, and really all right enough, sometimes a passing car full of young men firing on the Calabrian immigrants. It is not racism, or at least not alone. Often it is a vendetta due to non-payment required by dell'obolo crime. And that's what happened yesterday evening. A few shots from a moving car, a couple of wounded immigrants and then the revolt. Hundreds of non
came out into the streets of Rosarno, putting fire to the town. Overturned cars and damaged a night of fear and violence. Broken windows and looted shops, looked like the Wild West. Wrong, totally wrong. No reason, not even the most valid, it justifies the use of violence. Nor when the expense is ordinary people, citizens with the exploitation of African workers Rosarno got to do very little.
But the problem exists, it is huge, and perhaps such a conclusion was inevitable. Even last night because that is not rosarnese been the first revolt. But without doubt it was the most violent. So, in a land already outcast and damn, these are the pariahs of black leather degeneration of a society that fails to become integrated and multi-ethnic. And it is also a significant coincidence between the combination of the revolt Rosarno and the parade of ministers undertook to Reggio Calabria, rightly, to invest more in the police after the bomb to the court of the city of the Strait.
But the enslavement of Africans Rosarno is a problem that must be addressed decisively. Because in a civilized state, modern and democratic, we can not tolerate that thousands of people live in poverty most part, without the minimum of dignity should be guaranteed not so much by laws, public funds or plans of integration, as each of us by civilization.
rosarnese Those who know the reality, knows full well that the Pandora's box last night scoperchiatosi can still produce many negative effects. The desperation and poverty generates violence, and is an indisputable axiom confirmed by millennia of human history. No, we said, can justify such a bloody revolt. Nothing can justify this. But if while we talk about citizenship, integration, generation Balotelli and singing away, in Rosario happens what happened yesterday, then perhaps there is still something wrong. It is a cultural problem, first of all. And, ça va sans dire, of organized crime.
The future, however, does not seem reassuring. Especially if there will still be those who, like it happened yesterday evening in Rosario, the police will make a shot at the rioters. More than a century after the guns of Light Beccaris Milan, in some areas of our country has not yet realized that the social unrest and violence to be defeated by common sense and justice, not just as repressed violence.
Someone take charge of the serfs of Rosarno, therefore, if we want our country to be truly and finally, a normal and civilized country.
