"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
