On the bus to L'Aquila met a technician who works in the underground laboratories of Gran Sasso; describes Giuliani (the one who predicted the earthquake) as his colleague because they worked in the same space though scientific programs on a completely different and even though he had shared with only a few jokes every now and then: ... sad and shameful that BARONI Italians do not have the courage to make choices that go beyond the defense of their small garden, and he warned everyone had the opportunity to those who may decide to save lives, but nothing has been done ... except denounce and distance ... " with bitter sadness I share every view the entire Italian ruling class.
not guilty decisions taken to save lives, besides scientific opportunity that will not be thorough in the future because it would mean admitting you were wrong (but they will sleep soundly with all those people on your conscience? Not lose hope of seeing them in jail).
adds: "but this is our old ruling class, I trust in the young Italian ... ", let me share this too but I can not ...
arrival in town, walking with the backpack on the streets outside the historic walls, slowly I realize what makes these strange streets, walking nobody, and nobody lives there; a city ghost, hundreds of uninhabited buildings, I begin to understand.
Instead we see thousands of vehicles, fire trucks, where every civilian guards, police, army, police, finance, forestry corps, Red Cross, local police ....
Within the first field, the colorful uniforms of civil protection are everywhere, maybe they're more displaced persons.
The beautiful large blue tents are neatly divided by alleys called "path of hope, street reconstruction, street optimism."
The food is good, the smiles of young volunteers are reassuring, the organization is perfect.
But there are though.
In another, a young doctor who rushed Aquilano from Milan, where he currently works says "the first two days were hell, seemed to be at war, there was nothing the doctors were unavailable, the organization non-existent; relief arrived immediately, but no one knew what to do. A practitioner of city \u200b\u200btook control of the situation (and in fact yesterday was called to Rome by the Ministry), but where they were and where are the other doctors of the city? and especially where are the leaders of the local health facility? ".
In the area where I sleep, more than 10 days after the showers do not work yet, and nobody knows when it will happen.
kindergarten where she was transferred to a part of a municipal building, a young architect on the team's first improvised emergency says "began in the early hours to get everything, but nothing had prepared and organized, even civil defense, eight truck full of meat were whole days on the highway, no one knew where to stock ... ".
As the hours pass I begin to understand some things about these people, proud, hard, not spring, but above all very ironic, the jokes are wasted on their tragedy, the young among them are called "earthquake of shit" .
Other young people in the evening before the sausages cooked in a garden, they ask each other: "because my neighbor's house, built two years ago and bought hundreds of thousands of euro has fallen?", "Because all the buildings are intact Fascist? "," who authorized the rebuilding of some roofs that have wrecked the underlying structure? " "We felt the tremors from December, but no one was prepared, why?" , questions that will not be answered.
No part of the homes, many sleeping in tents, many on the coast, many in the tent in the garden, and at night it is cold, there is obvious fear, awareness of the tragedy, irony and a desire to share the activities reopen.
A group of people told me of a state funeral: "people cried, a few cheers for the speeches of the bishop and the Pope's personal secretary, the usual words of fact, the only one that has attracted the applause of all was Imam ... yes, believe me (others argue about, seeing me visibly surprised) is the only that used real words, you know ... ". Allocation
, I say "We are enormously grateful for the help came from all over Italy, we hope that in two months, when the lights are off, do not forget us" .
Yes, hopefully.
