PRESS RELEASE 4 luglio2008
EVERYONE GROUP: "ACTION uncivilized. WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF THE MAYOR AND HIP and the intervention of the European Commission
Last night, in the area of \u200b\u200bOsmannoro, Sesto Fiorentino (FI), over 120 people of Roma, mostly women, children and children under 17 years, have found themselves no bed following the sudden evacuation ordered by Mayor Gianni Gianassi the Democratic Party, during which each hut was demolished by police forces, with all the personal effects of the Roma within. Children a few months, teens and adults suffering from various heart diseases were found in the middle of a street without health care, without water, without a roof to sleep under.
"What has happened," say the leaders of EveryOne Roberto Malini, Matteo Pegoraro and Dario Picciau "is the result of their racial and xenophobic campaign by the Italian institutions, and should not only be censured by the European Parliament and the EU Commission, but subject to a denunciation of the international organizations for human rights. Real pogrom such as "continue the activists" also show how local institutions, regardless of political orientation of its representatives, are pursuing every means at the levels of persecution of Nazi-Fascist regime of the Forties. "
This morning a delegation composed of activists of EveryOne Group, the association Aurora ONLUS of Florence, the former deputy Mercedes Frias, Carlo Giuliani by the Documentation Centre and the Greens of Tuscany asked, introducing himself to the Municipality of Sesto Fiorentino some of the evicted families, an urgent meeting with the Mayor Gianassi for a solution to the emergence of social and health and housing dozens of families involved, many of which have been established at this time, temporarily, in an abandoned factory in the vicinity of the settlement vacated.
"The mayor Giani," said Matteo Pegoraro of EveryOne, member of the delegation "for the 12 who had organized a press conference on the eviction, prevented access to the interior of the Municipality of us activists, with a cordon of Brigade Urbani blocking the entrance, and allowed to enter only three journalists. "Mercedes Frias, a former member of the Communist Refoundation, contacted the telefono direttamente il sindaco Gianassi che, alla richiesta di un incontro, ha risposto: “Non me ne frega un cazzo”.
Alla richiesta di cinque attivisti di essere ricevuti al più presto per ricercare una soluzione pacifica e costruttiva all’intera vicenda, il sindaco ha accettato, ammettendo gli esponenti delle associazioni umanitarie ma impedendo l’accesso a Mercedes Frias, che è stata costretta dai Vigili Urbani e dai funzionari comunali a rimanere fuori.
“Gianassi si è subito presentato a noi con atteggiamento scontroso” continua Pegoraro. “Ha affermato che lui agisce secondo la legge, e chi non è residente a Sesto Fiorentino, e dunque tutte le oltre 120 persone sgomberate, non is within its competence and should not remain on the territory. After that, "said the activist" to my assertion that you can not leave the children a few months, women and men sick in the middle of a road and there are European directives and resolutions that protect the Roma people, concluded: 'Denunciatemi 'and left the meeting, initiated by a couple of minutes. "
activists, threatened by some officials to be removed by the police if they had not immediately left the hall, were forced to leave.
"There remains," said EveryOne "that require the immediate resignation of Mayor Gianassi inconceivable also adopted for the conduct against our citizens. We want a speech to that effect by the ANCI (National Association of Italian Municipalities) and its president, and mayor of Florence, Leonardo Domenici. Finally, "concluded the representative of the group" we act to strengthen the European Commission and MEPs have a chance, as early as Monday's plenary session in Strasbourg, to discuss this emergency and take action. We also urge the Italian Parliament to settle as soon as radical an urgent question to the Ministry of Interior ".
