Hanno nomi strani, esotici, si chiamano Moumini, Ever, Eric, Ousmane, Rezac, Rolando, Saloua , e nei giorni scorsi, i giorni del fango e delle macerie dopo l’alluvione, erano a fianco dei tanti volontari, soprattutto giovani, che hanno aiutato a ripulire la nostra città , le cantine allagate, gli appartamenti e i negozi devastati dalla fury of river. With so many other immigrants have worked with us from Vicenza in silence, never complaining of fatigue, with a smile, content with a sandwich and a bottle of water. Some come from other countries devastated by disastrous floods, as Moumine that comes from Burkina Faso or Rolando from the Philippines, or run away from war and hunger, or simply the poverty that afflicts their people, and work in our companies, making the workers, warehouse workers, electricians, laborers, domestic workers. Many of them see their families for years, others have made a family here, and their children go to school with our children.
are not Italian citizens can not vote or elect their representatives, even if they live for years, work here and pay taxes , and indeed their lives are affected by a piece of paper permission to stay, that a thousand red tape, queues in front of police stations, requirements for obtaining more and more 'complex, is the indispensable bond with the land that welcomed them, ensuring a future for itself' and its loved ones.
In recent years, have suffered endless harassment by Administrators mercilessly in certain municipalities in our province have done everything to get rid of him, in a crescendo of abstruse and discriminatory decrees in which the imagination of the range was denied permission to the suitability of the houses to their places of worship, the rankings for the allocation of social housing can not access funds for workers companies in crisis, the benches removed from school canteens.
Recently, after the events of March Field, were sometimes viewed with distrust, suspicion, as if they all, without distinction, were guilty of degradation, the distribution of drugs, stabbings gang of criminals.
Such a treatment would be expected from their indifference, even resentment.
But the call of the Mayor of Vicenza, who was looking for volunteers responded en masse after a brief tam tam, with a touching enthusiasm, timidly approaching the banks of the rescue organization to give their personal data, helping the women of the Civil Protection to write their names and unpronounceable difficult. Flocked en masse to help without thinking about the discrimination and humiliation suffered quotidianamente.Sono rushed to help a city that also hear "their" city to help a population in which they feel part now in effect.
try to remember when everything is finished.
