The story of Camilla and Lorenza, who have fasted and expressed in square Tuesday 'on October 2.
The first lady who came close was one of those you pass by and read the phrase written on the sign, pass over, but after a while 'go back. He told us that we admire but was certain that no one had ever spit on a window cleaner who had said "no thanks". He wanted to confront, despite the bad experience . This gave us hope, but it is a bitter first-hand the effects of this ordinance, one of the reasons why we reject: impropriety generalize, categorize rudeness, suggest that the sense of legality has to do with the race, with their origins. It would be like saying if I spit in your face then your whole family, everyone who gets your work, all those who come from your country must be punished.
The message of our posters was deliberately a bit 'challenging . Maybe it was not the message more focused, maybe it was a message too precise, but stimulated the attention of passersby, they woke up from slumber , forced them to confront in terms of values, opinions and information.
The refusal of the spirit of this ordinance there is agreement, but on possible solutions there are among us some different nuances.
Io, Camilla, I would really like an afterthought, an 'admission of guilt , action to partially repair the damage done. Before proposing any solution but I think the council should convene these Romanians 50/70, talk with them, know them, understand their situation everyday, how can they pull a living ... not exclude, priori, the possibility of professionalize the job of the "washer", which is basically an example of that economy as more informal with which field the two-thirds of the world's population.
The system can not however ignore the fact that we are now a destination or transit of migratory flows , and that solutions should be sought dignity and not harming the dignity of the people to face the new era that it overlooks. If there were other job opportunities and placement should be used immediately to remove these people from the street, but it is also true that these also lack opportunities to our fellow citizens .... These Romanians possono attendere, davanti a un piatto vuoto, che flessibilità e precarietà vengano sconfitte a livello macro! Si sono inventati questo mestiere? Se non ci sono alternative possibili, questo servizio può essere gestito in modo pacifico e non lesivo della dignità dell’automobilista come del lavavetri stesso. Andrebbe valutato.
Io, Lorenza, invece non vorrei che i lavavetri tornassero sulle strade. Penso che queste persone possano essere impiegate in altri tipi di lavori e di servizi. Penso che sia pericoloso farle tornare adesso ai semafori perché nelle ultime settimane si è legittimata la paura dell’altro, l’insofferenza, quindi can not be excluded xenophobic outbursts, due to ordinances such as Cioni / Domenici, addressed to the "guts" of citizens.
Passers seeing shaking their heads asking "you want the washer?" but did not stop to talk and we could not address the complexity of an answer, an answer that can not be a simple 'yes' without any arguments on the issue of social policies, the problem of coexistence , the need to stop generalizing. This
unavailability comparison was frustrating because we felt it was often turn to people who have no intention to stop, to confront, to listen, communicate. There are truths that are pre-built "vomited" on him, without giving any chance for dialogue. Other interactions
funny: someone has passed, saying "I know the problem" without specifying whether the problem was for him represented by the washer or ordinances. Others are speed past billboards exclaiming aloud ".. mah! E ' the only thing that have done well. "
Then there was an elderly gentleman of Neapolitan origin who stopped to tell us tenderly, as if addressed to two girls: "But why worry about this people? Think of us poor Italians , think about your own .... " At the senior Neapolitan time is not missed, and he stayed a very long time for a decidedly civil confrontation. We inventoried the problems of Italy, and eventually he agreed that in Italy the emergencies are very different, but still not resigned to this our choice of action "to foreigners."
In our support came a handsome cyclist who claimed that by now, even if they withdrew the order, the damage had been done. Always put the rider has to discuss with the senior Neapolitan many things, including the novel of Anna Maria Ortese "The sea is not wet Naples, which we pinned like good advice. Standing in the square there was a surprise to literary character ... who would have thought?!
Another gentleman came up a bit so ' threatening, but rather then just wanted to say that his father had killed so many fascists but clearly (indicating the city) there were too many survivors.
There were also comments on gypsies. E 'on a very common: when it comes to the washer, you always end up talking about gypsies.
Finally he approached a group of ladies in his seventies, with their hair and lacquered white, who have read the sign, without knowing well the meaning of the sentence. Then they asked if we were for or against the washer, and when we specified that we were "for the withdrawal of the order" was approved by the transport that we were "for the withdrawal of the washer ... ..
In fact there were many people who stopped by and shared with us the difficulties to relate to an issue so controversial and difficult for those who do not want to surrender to impose, so easy to remove the 'ugly' , the 'dirty', the 'poor'.
Many visits and gli incontri fortuiti con soggetti “amici”: la consigliera del PRC Anna Nocentini, Sabrina Sganga di Controradio, Guido Zini, Anna Doni, Rosanna Bianchi, Lorenzo Guadagnucci, Valentina Ferrucci, Pape Diaw dell’Arci, Ingrid Lamminpää, Stefano Morandi di Greeenpeace e tanti altri che passando si sono fermati a parlare con noi di tante cose, personali e politiche. Mara si è avvicinata per dirci che non è di Firenze, ma che vorrebbe fare qualcosa anche lei, e si è segnata per un turno di digiuno.
Il tempo è volato, e le ore in piazza sono state senz’altro la parte più bella della giornata . Forse i cartelloni-sandwich aiutavano ad attenuare la fame, che si è made her feel stronger once we removed them to us ...
