“I came to find Alessandro and together we had a coffee” – thus begins the post published yesterday on the social pages of the mayor Giuseppe Falcomatà. “Alessandro has serious health problems and in 2011, while he was in the hospital for a delicate intervention, His Archillà house, an Aterp accommodation, was occupied by abusive. I felt the need to come and see him to look for a solution together and find for him a dignified place to live with his family members and take care more serenely “.
Through its content, the mayor underlines that, unfortunately, Alexander’s is not the only complex case in our city: “Many respectable citizens have been forced to escape from Argechillà Nord due to the occupations and widespread illegality. It is a problem that we know well, that we have been fighting for years between a thousand difficulties, working side by side with the prefecture, to the police, to the associations that operate in the area. Of the wrong choices of the past, when preferred to hide the dust under the carpet, breaking down a ghetto, that of the former barracks 208, to create another one, to Archillà Nord “.
And then the invitation to Alessandro not to give up, with the awareness of those who have already traced the way for the resolution of the problem: “There is still so much to do so, the road is still long and all uphill. But we do not give up. We owe it to young people like Alessandro and the many families who in recent years have risked on their skin, living immense difficulties, overwhelmed by illegality and degradation, deliberately created to remove the people. Alessandro who must not give up, but it is a message that I turn to myself, and to the many who work together with us, every day, to give an answer to the needs of those who are sick, of those who suffer, of those who claim a right that, for so much, too much time has been denied “.
“Because when you are the mayor – the post concludes – there is no possibility of escaping a problem. When you have the honor and the burden of guiding a community it is a responsibility that enters you, a sort of falling in love, the sweet taste of verifying that when you govern they are all your children and you have to find a solution for everyone”.
