“What we witnessed yesterday in the city with the toxic cloud that rose high from Scordovillo and infested the entire city represents yet another shame and the final humiliation for the citizens.
Once again Lamezia Terme has been held hostage by a handful of criminals who continue to poison the people undisturbed, also taking advantage of the weakness of local institutions, always caught by surprise by such criminal events and totally incapable of opposing a firm reaction.
Years and years of wrong policies towards the Roma population have led to all this.
We at Exit certainly don’t want to criminalize the entire Roma community living in that area, but certainly everyone in a condition of acquiescence with respect to what happens in the camp.
On the other hand, we have the quiescence of all politicians who helplessly continue to witness these delinquent acts, only continuing to address the Roma problem as if it were only limited to the degradation of Scordovillo and not to an infection that has penetrated our country for years now. social fabric and has done nothing but exasperate feelings among citizens.
Scordovillo has been an open-air powder magazine for years now, as are the other two ghettos that have been created in the city over the years, respectively Ciampa di Cavallo and San Pietro Lametino. The integration policies have failed miserably and what the policy promises for the near future for the Roma community will not be of benefit or resolution either for themselves or for the city.
The Roma problem must be seen from a historical-social and ethnic perspective, especially respecting this last aspect in its intrinsic differences. In the meantime, we wait for the criminals who yesterday intoxicated a city with that black cloud to be caught and pay for what they did.
Thus in a note Paolo Di Matteo, regional Exit coordinator
