Prato-The right-wing mayor, Gianni Alemanno had no problems to hold a day of mourning after the horrific death of four Roma children, burned alive in an illegal gypsy camp on the outskirts of Rome. The mayor of the capital, with a history of extreme right has also had the courage to honor the lives of four Roma children, the mayor called "civic" in Prato, Roberto place, but was afraid to hold a day of mourning for three women drowned in the underpass east of Ciulli away last October. Here are two ways to witness a tragedy. In Rome, Alemanno had very valid arguments for lack of this tragedy: after all, took place in a squatter camp and in the case of Roma, an ethnic group that is certainly not well seen by a center-right increasingly led to racist and xenophobic positions. Yet, when faced with death, facing a tragedy so huge, the mayor Gianni Alemanno has been stripped of his ideologies and paid homage with the mourning of these four children whose only crime was to be born in a shanty town outside by law.
In Prato the three Chinese women: mother, daughter and aunt, who drowned in a culvert that will be responsible for the judiciary to define, without having broken any law. They died for the illegality of someone else. Surely an Italian. Well, before that tragedy, the mayor of Prato has not had the compassion to put aside ideology, which he professes Municipal Mayor, and decreed a day of mourning. We had then criticized the mayor to place his attitude, his critics even more so today in light of what has made the mayor of Rome. And to think that Aleman was never even remotely intended to profess "civic".
