in The end, the inhabitants of Gorino have won. The bus with the onboard 12 women, including a girl pregnant in the eighth month, and 8 children will not stop in their country. The barricades that have blocked the city street, the only access to the structure chosen by the prefect of Ferrara as a shelter for the refugees, was blocked up at night. Not just in the small country of Cheap Ferrara, tight Delta del Po, Boscone della Mesola and Adriatic, the news of the préfecture, virtually the entire population – about 600 souls – colle cts along the route that the bus would have to cross. Cars parked on both sides of the narrow roadway, a pick-up truck sideways, wooden pallets, and metal bins have become makeshift barricades that have made rush to the place the police and Digos.
To bar the way to the hostel bar, from the name which today sounds almost a joke, "Love and Nature", are assembled in a very short time three hundred people. the three-hundred people and a voice: "We the refugees we don’t want them". In a few minutes the notebook is filled with cries: "take them into the hotel, far away, but not here"; "see all the days of tv what’s going on"; "if to take them into the house Renzi and Boldrini".
a Further concern relates to the structure chosen as a refuge, the only bar in the area: "but how do you put them in the bar in the hostel, and they now have to close because there will be no more. Not to mention that so you kill the resource of tourism." Even more worried, because it touched closely, Annemarie, the girl that works there as a waitress: "like I do to go there at 6 in the morning, with the dark, alone? And if I make something?"."We are not and never been racist – repeat who is in that hostel we went when it was still on a kindergarten, more than 50 years ago, are we becoming because of them."
Strange coincidence for those who are a little more than half a century ago became famous in Italy for your heroism. It was the night of the November 17, 1951,the flood of Polesine and fishing Gorino, "this handful of men, brave" – as reported in the chronicles of that time – they went with their boats flat in the flood of the Po, in the province of Rovigo, to bring help to the population. Then "rescued from the waters of the 320 women and children."
Today are back to the honor in the national news for fear of receiving twenty women and children that they come from the waters, this time in the Mediterranean. At the edge of the presidio is also the mayor of the Pd, Diego Viviani that fathomed from the hundreds of looks distrustful, if not feel blame to their fellow villagers: "That of the prefecture, it seems to me a hasty decision; I don’t understand the choice of Gorino, the country away from the rest of the province. It is an objective difficulty, also to the co-operatives welcome provide food and anything else."
at The end, around midnight, while protesters promise protests to the bitter end, comes the good news: the bus has already diverted from the path for reasons of safety and the twenty-refugees are destined for elsewhere.
