Minor immigrants: there is no future without a guardian

"Isaac is a boy of 17 years, arrived in Italy to escape a situation of extreme poverty. On the journey across the Mediterranean luck saw him die like other immigrants who dreamed of a decent future, that as he had hoped to live a new life. "
Thus began the press conference convened by the Social Workshop. Anna Ioriatti, one of the activists present, tells us that Isaac has been host of an association for children, eager to grow in Italy, to become a regular migrant citizen with a residence permit for study, work. "
The press conference that the number of people who gather around Isaac seems like a garrison of protest, held under the windows of the offices of Public Prosecutor of Aconcio away. It is no accident: in such offices, specifically at the judge, lies the question of allocation of the guardian of Isaac. "A sheet on which to affix a signature, a stamp for young children like Isaac means the guarantee of the future," says Corrado Furlani Workshop Social.
"A child - tell us - is inespellibile by law and is entitled to have a guardian to protect the court should immediately appoint. But the red tape, the negligence of those who do not know, are blocking the process towards legalization, threatening seriously the future of Isaac, condemning it (if it is assigned the tutor) underground, preventing any possibility of the future. "
"We have discovered - you continue the workshop Social activists - who pay the same situation as Isaac dozens of children living in Trentino. All pending an inalienable right to be protected by a legal figure that substitute for the absence of the father or the mother. " It turns out
that without this protection is not possible to conclude contracts of employment, even apply for a residence permit, access to healthcare, to appeal to an expulsion. "Procrastination continuing for years," we are told.
addition to publicly denounce this situation, the workshop Social activists have every intention of proceeding with a real case that will compel the magistrate "to deal with all requests in stock, to speed up the allocation of tutors to ensure that these children have the opportunity to secure a residence in Italy. " Corrado Furlani, on this point is clear: "It is possible that a bureaucratic obstacle to condemn these children cloudy and the sea-sac of the underground. "conviction continues saying that" it is our duty to make sure that this matter be resolved very quickly. "
At the end of the press conference, under pressure from activists, the tutelary judge Dr. Benini, agrees to meet a delegation of the Social Workshop. The press is excluded from the meeting held behind closed doors in the presence of Anna, Corrado and the same Isaac.
They are telling us that the court "has confessed that bureaucratic delays are attributable to difficulty in Stationery. "On this point - Anna says - we ensured that we are ready to Dr. Benitez also make available to the secretary, to help attend to the office work. "
The meeting - tells us Corrado - was friendly and we had assurances that the assignment of mentors will be speeded up in the next week." Both promise us that the association will follow this story and Social workshop will ensure that all requests within a few days guardian to be signed. Play

What Does It Mean When Sunbeam Electric Blanket

Travel

In recent days, the "Trentino", published an article which reported a trip to Romania - in their city of origin of the Roma in the caravan, Sibiu - Councillor Plotegher of Director of Meeting Point and the head of Cinformi Bortolotti.
Officina Sociale issued this statement:

Rom: Plotegher in Romania. "Journey useless"

Trento - After reading the local press of the trip to Romania that led to the councilor Plotegher, Bortolotti of Meeting Point and the controller Cinformi to visit the city of Roma origin who now staying at the former barracks Bresciani, Officina Sociale - the association that since the eviction of the former Sloi took care of each other - has issued a press release.
"As usual - Officina Sociale says - this initiative has also been covered by secrecy and its objectives were not shared at all or with the Roma community or volunteer with us since the first day of the Bresciani former barracks we go every day at the facilities accommodated to meet them. "
"Roma - explain the volunteers - they knew vaguely of a trip to Sibiu, but did not understand what could be the purpose and what effect would that have on their situation, remember, was ahead of the deadline, set March 31, the closure of the accommodation at Casema Bresciani.
"From Romania, for now, through the Delegation (institutional) who has just returned, they arrived just greetings from relatives, a photograph of the sons of one of the guests of lodging is an improper assertion of apparent wealth of the Roma in Romania ".
" We believe - continues the statement - it's just a useful educational journey in a foreign land if it serves only to report news on the didactic and customs of local people, if it is not clear that there is planning behind and is not aimed at solving a real problem that Trent, as all European cities, is called to accomplish. "
" We would not - say worried volunteers Officina Sociale - who seek solutions to 'solidarity deployed elsewhere ', shifting attention from a host of Roma Trentino duty to a more simple' outsourcing cooperation 'that saves the conscience, but does not respond to a real need. "
" The only certainty - Officina Sociale writes - is that the March 31 ending the experience of Brescia and Roma Casema will return in a squatter camps. "
" With deep sorrow - said Social Workshop - we realize that the city government and the private social sector have lost a great opportunity. "" Maybe - close the statement - the real involvement of Roma and we volunteer in an integration project could bear fruit and to avoid a different gate Casema Bresciani shut on the experience of that instead of becoming opportunities were only a temporary solution.
