«The tragedy that occurred in Amendolara, in the province of Cosenza, profoundly shakes our consciences and requires a reflection on the model of society we are building. It is not acceptable that, in 2026, immigrant workers without protection and too often without documents will be sucked into criminal networks that expose them to an inhumane and violent death, like the one involving the four Pakistani citizens.” This was stated by Pasquale Tridico, head of delegation of the 5 Star Movement in the European Parliament.
The appeal to the judicial authorities
«We appeal to the judicial authorities and investigative bodies – he continues – to shed full light on this murder and ask the government to seriously question the effectiveness of the measures adopted in the fight against gangmastering».
«More checks and inspections in the workplace»
According to the MEP, after the moment of condolence it will be necessary to move on to that of institutional responsibilities. “Today is the time for condolence and prayer, tomorrow must be that of political responsibility, with more incisive interventions, new rules, strengthened controls and inspections in the fields and workplaces.”
Tridico finally recalls the constitutional principles: «Today we celebrate our Republic which is founded on work, as stated in Article 1 of the Constitution, and it cannot be tolerable that today we can still die like this».
