2008, flight from Campania CASERTA - The nine white vans without rear seats, the lights at eleven o'clock at night. The men, squatting on the sheet, now we all are. In the square outside the highway to Caserta Nord, the women end up in the darkness to deliver the luggage for the week. A bag green head: seven beers and sandwiches with bacon, burnt because it retains. It seems all but ready and waiting for the caravan of new immigrants in the warm rain. Eighty-five not all have money. Children who bring cigarettes they want it now. Then the first Duchy, without any regards, it moves. The poor who leave every night from Campania, in the hundreds, reading cards with the address of factories and construction sites in Northern Ireland. Twenty euro per day, in black. Less of the African immigrants, or Eastern, that sew leather and cloth halls abusive Casal di Principe. If there is no work, nothing. "Climb" but it is a luxury. Those who "go away", who "worked up," buy the right to believe in something unexpected. "The marginal underclass - says John Laino, English Association Quarters of Naples - has become a collective destiny. There are more cases of redemption, poverty has become a heritage and legacy of generations". The failure policy, local and national, is this explosive social paralysis. Unthinkable for new Italian immigrants, pay rent, or move the family. They eat and sleep in vans. A week of hard work and a day of sleep, the only home, before returning to the exit. The other, thousands, are fleeing from poverty in the train. The wagons of the night without sleeping berths, end to fill in Naples. Young, full of plastic bags and babies, reach relatives in Bologna, Padua and Milan. Over forty years, however, are commuters. Waiters, laborers, drivers, laborers, soldiers from dawn to night to Rome, Florence, Bologna, Marche.
The South, in order to survive, after half a century defers running. The "renaissance field" is finished. In one year, from south to north, have migrated to 120 000. Fifty thousand only from Campania plus 65 000 26 000 commuters and emigrants abroad finished. Naples in 2007, has lost 14 percent of population. In the rest of the country few realize it. No one talks about. But the impressive mass of poor, mostly invisible to the statistics, is growing and frightening. "Most of the waste - says sociologist John Sgritta - most of the hooligans, the Roma or immigrants." Who is no alternative. Concept, Giugliano, raises six children in a room twelve feet square, without a floor and no plaster. He twenty-two years and managed to finish primary school. When everyone is in bed for a few hours ago into who pays it. Antonio, in June, has lost his pizzeria Mondragone. Strangled by the loan, has not paid the rate which the all'usuraio sent his bank. "He was a friend - he says - to punish me rape his wife of fifty years." It is in this wilderness that the state over the Campania to the "System". The Camorra is fed vacuum. Acerra, to give a lesson to children who did not want to become "poles" in a night made saw benches, trees and lamp posts. A Benevento stop stealing old cans at the supermarket. Or pay half, or the food is seized. "Now - says Gaetano Romano, director of Caritas bell - the only crime he has money to invest and work to offer. The region is transformed into a holding company Camorra. Thousands of parents, these days, they could buy school books due to the drug dealers. For the first time the weariness of the poor, the anger of the concentration of immigrants and criminals, create a push shoreless. So, Naples and Campania, in the abyss of racism. "There is unfortunately an emergency. It is, however, the new generation: the poor of the South, rapidly growing in Italy are no longer an issue and no public moves in front at the outbreak of their despair. Decades of alarms, magnified to cash in, and now that the tide rises really rotten in racism, mind you no one there. "The poor are anonymous and tiring - he says his father Antonio Hurtado Valletti in the center of escape - and make us ashamed. For the country are no longer an item of expenditure. Approval imposes an intervention. Advertising, public lady, do not like: on TV, do not exist. So the policy has no interest to extend the space of their rights. We must acknowledge that we are the Africa of Europe with more dignity and less violence. "The numbers confirm this. Campania is now the European region with the highest concentration of poor families, unemployed, women who do not work and age in poverty. Just under 2 million in the region, only 240 000 in Naples. Nearly one in three has no need for survival. Two su dieci non mangiano più di tre volte alla settimana. Otto su dieci non possono pagare l'affitto. I disoccupati sfiorano il 40 per cento. Tra chi lavora, due su dieci guadagna meno di mille euro al mese, uno su dieci meno di 500. Oltre la metà dei residenti accumula almeno 200 euro di debiti al mese. Il pil pro capite è di 16 mila euro all'anno, contro i 33 mila della Lombardia. Un contratto su due è a termine. La dispersione scolastica è del 45 per cento. Tra le 80 regioni europee più arretrate, occupa la posizione numero 68. I poveri, nel Meridione, sono ormai poco meno di 6 milioni. "L'agghiacciante verità taciuta - dice Luigi Tamburro, presidente del banco alimentare di Caserta, il più grande d'Italia - è che migliaia people and children are now hungry. The company's competitiveness, based on consumption, has exhausted its reservoir of humanity. Are we alone in front of an Italian tragedy of which ignores the danger. "Hundreds of debates, political, historical and literary rhetoric about the" southern question ", no real help. Italy, with Greece, is the only European nation not have a plan to combat poverty. The only one to have removed all support. did the money for the check, € 350 per month, of the Campania Region. The annual report of the Commission against social exclusion, ignored. The new government has never even met. This is the day of San Gennaro, patron saint of Naples, the table on the Piazza del Carmine bursts. In a row between the elderly and immigrants, including parents and children. They speak of the massacre of Africans in the night to Castelvolturno. They condemn the revolt against the killings of immigrants. "This time - says Gary, who is unemployed with two children in her arms - the Casalesi have done well. Negroes were punished: they steal jobs and we end up eating the priests." A new war, not only among the poor, but between them and the crime that defeated the state must defend itself from the revolt of their killers, or new competitors. "The Campania - says Alex Zanotelli, a missionary of Health - is no longer a significant reservoir of slaves to the North. The country has chosen and Muslims neri, per pagare ancora meno la mano d'opera clandestina e ammorbidire l'islam. Lo scontro esplode qui: italiani poveri contro stranieri poveri. Vincono i secondi, perché la Campania ormai è la piattaforma logistica per le scorie non smaltibili dell'Europa. Solo un africano accetta di vivere in una discarica e riconosce l'affare spietato tra politica e criminalità, il patto massone per la "somalizzazione" del Sud. Lo Stato ci mette terra, uomini e miseria, la camorra soldi e controllo. Non si capisce che siamo prossimi all'esplosione. Chi può scappa: nelle strade si agita una massa di disperati che non ha più nulla da perdere". Dopo trent'anni di rifiuti tossici che hanno distrutto l'agricoltura, qui si aspettavano i soldati per reclaim the land. Instead, the military arrive to oversee new landfills and new incinerators. "The symbolic image - says Maurizio Braucci among the writers of" Gomorrah "- is to Ponticelli. A crowd of poor, ragged and dirty, hidden behind mountains of garbage, that stone families of gypsies on the run. It is the symbol of Campania, but also the country that has chosen the militarization of society. Indifferenti evidence of the scandal, because the mediators of the poverty they live in fear, because those who have voice and power belongs to the system that transforms the chronic emergency in poverty " . Yet Italy in recession, which denies or minimizes, which overflows with this misery must come to terms. The abyss is not built more extreme cases, but normal. Lucia, in Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, collects a monthly pension of 580 €. It spends 360 rent and 100 to help the child who is unemployed. "For food, bills, medicine and clothes - he says - I still have 4 € a day." Aversa dozens of children go to school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday working for the crime: 50 € per day, to pay for room and board in the family. "The country - says Father Luigi Merola, a former parish priest in Forcella, forced to leave for the death threats and today under guard - not surrender to poverty. Cut funding to education, pretending that employment is a question of market , condemning the poor delinquency. The acceleration of drift in the southern Campania and misery in the sight of all, is appalling. If you do not become the central problem of the country, federalism will result in a de facto division northerner. The only army in the South was afraid of was that the teachers take them to target the consensus is to admit through the control of the Camorra. "The people, apathetic made by a history of bullying and humiliation, is shaken by a new fear." Even solidarity - the sociologist says Enrica Morlicchio - is exhausted. Cities and towns are in the hands of usurers, who launder money by blackmailing the poor. The houses in Campania are stores of weapons and drugs: the only source of income also for decent families. "consoles in living rooms you remember the misery of war. But now the spectrum has a specific profile," the assault to the furnaces, "the revolt of the poor against the state absent ignore them." The government - Brick says Antonio community of Sant'Egidio - no longer fight against poverty, but against the poor. The violence this year in Naples, against the landfill, anti-Roma and anti-immigrant, has been rewarded. The lesson is simple: if it is filmed by television, according to electoral opportunities, the violence of the square decide. A short civil in Campania can overwhelm everyone. The poor now are the majority, do not respond to anyone, they begin to join. The South in poverty, based on migrants, immigrants and criminals, is wiping out the political hostage of finance: Italy is in danger of losing the trust is not in the shot, but in democracy. "As the Navy. For thirty years living in a basement Villa Literno thanks to 600 € granted to children suffering from encephalitis. It is midday and the eldest son, who is unemployed, sleeping before the fire off. The other daughter, separated, now has no food for three children. Tonight have taken while he was about to jump from the balcony in the alley. "If the assist - he says - I can not work. If I work, I lose the right to his check. "A fracture history, breaking the link between poverty, power and favor. Thousands of ghosts, in Campania, wonder what that means, if you still have a value, to be free. "The dark is cutting the country - says Marco Rossi Doria, master of the road - is the end of the interest of policy for those who need justice. Dell'Italietta cowardice, the collective removal of poverty, enables institutions to compare exclusively with the economy. The cuts to the school, which pushed back the children of the South in the streets, are the symbol of a final sentence to the Mafia. This particular ferocity against the poor, with the weapon of education denied in the name of rigor, is the go-ahead for public crime. " No one in Campania, welfarism relies on the patronage of the failed past. In a land divided between flight and war, there is shame, however, more to launch a "national alarm over the poor." "Every week - says the sociologist Henry Rebeggiani - there are hundreds of single women. It had never happened. The region, like the rest of the South, is emptied of enterprising young people. Politics is reduced to recruiting arrogant leader of rebellions multiplied possible: usually happens when authoritarian regimes are bound to fall ". For this reason, deal with change with the emergency which calls upon the army, police and patrols, increases the retreat. "The country - says Andrea Morniroli cooperative Dedalus - must recognize a new responsibility to the poor. Sacrificing the Campania and the south against the paranoia of the left Berlusconi, not only legitimizes the corruption of power distracts a social conscience and drag Italy out of poverty armed regional and national culture of backwardness. "Ante saecula In via S. Maria 109, district in Naples Health gray house of Toto, closed and almost impossible to find, is abandoned. It seems to collapse. In the "low" have opened a workshop abusive. The city had promised the world a museum. It was sold to an anonymous private. A policeman pulls a sheet blue, hung out to dry by house opposite. It also covers the plate, dirty and unreadable. Maybe it clear who, in anticipation of a tragedy, made them laugh. And it was mistaken for a comedian.
(giampaolo fresh faces, repubblica.it)
Last night, during the La7 transmission The infidel, Gad Lerner has projected a video indignant that I already had its first broadcast on YouTube, as usual, preceded the Media ( which, however, have not spent a lot of words, apart from the usual suspects). This is a performance of Gentilini (giullaresco the first citizen of the city of Treviso) about immigrants. But beyond the video itself (disturbing, in addition to the obvious and unpunished racist position for a not too veiled apologia for fascism ), I believe that any discussions should be made on these words:
