The young Lorenzo Scappatura was Councilor of the Civil Engineering Degree Course for three years and member of the Assistance and Quality Commission; having recognized his very important contribution in the university context, this year he has come to hold the position of DICEAM Department Councilor of the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria. Furthermore, thanks to the Christian values ​​that distinguish him, he is engaged daily in many social activities in the area and at the service of the weakest sections of the community.

The words of the new Regional coordinator Lorenzo Scappatura: “I am honored and proud to receive this nomination from the National Coordinator Stefano Bandecchi, the President Paolo Alli and the National Youth Coordinator Cristian Crispo, whom I thank for having trusted me. I am sure that together with the entire Alternative Popular Youth movement we will be able to do an extraordinary job. In a suffering region like Calabria, we will work to become a point of reference for all young people who, like me, intend to roll up their sleeves and work to serve their land and their fellow citizens with a spirit of love and altruism. Today more than ever we need models in this sense: examples of active citizenship, sociability, transparency and above all values. Politics, which is the driving force behind everything, represents the main outlet for reaffirming the sovereignty that we young people are losing from our own lives today..”

““Young Artificers” represented a fundamental moment of discussion and stimulation. Our greatest satisfaction was seeing the participation of many young people from different provinces of Calabria, who decided to get involved to fight for the rebirth of our land. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to count on the presence and tireless commitment of Stefano Bandecchi, Cristian Crispo and Massimo Ripepi. The words of encouragement and support from our national and regional leaders confirmed the importance of the role of young people in building a more participatory policy oriented towards the common good.”

“Saturday’s meeting it was the first step towards the revolution of Reggio and Calabria. Our large presence demonstrated that we are ready and determined to fight against the current political system, where administrators only look after their own interests. To do this we need to follow models like Bandecchi and Ripepi who have decided to reverse the direction of current politics and fight against sellouts and traitors through the values ​​of justice, truth and transparency. We must operate without fear and do everything so that young people can count for something in this society. Citizens need a light and that light is us.”
