People. NOT animals



They are running away from wars, in places like Syria, or escaping sub-Saharan poverty and authoritarian regimes. No refugees should have to make such choices, nevertheless here they are: people, not animals, running away from wars. Their children didn’t even choose. They’re still not understanding what’s happening to them. Poor little creatures.

If they had the courage to leave everything behind, they’ll have the strength to resettle again. Is there a law to define where humanity must begin or end? Is there a law to define the illegal crossing in Europe? Laws are made by us: fallacious human beings.

Romans conquered the whole Europe, probably weren’t stupid: directly from them might come the idea to use migrants to populate semi-abandoned villages which are depopulating fast. Europe is aging, Italy is aging. Nobody is saying it would be easy: would villagers welcome them? Who would pay for their accomodation? But also the advantages would be obvious: Italy fragile territory could be taken care of.

They’re not animals, but people offering something in return. Not claiming benefits, but workers contributing to fix things.

Italy already has Albanian, Greek, French, Slavic, Arabic and German spoken all over its territory. Cultural differences can be overcomed.

History, geography, economy and our people need them!

This example could / should be followed everywhere in Europe.

They are not animals: one day we’ll be proud of them.

….Always humble
