Saturday 8th August Fasting Day in Riace with young people from the work and spirituality camp against inhuman migration policies

FIELD OF WORK AND SPIRITUALITY
"TOWARDS A PLURAL HUMANITY"

The Combonian missionaries, priests and sisters, promoting this field of work and spirituality indicate – together with Domenico Lucano, former mayor of Riace – a Day of Fasting in protest.

Father Zanotelli tells us the reasons for this:

  • the decision of the mayor of San Ferdinando, A. Tripodi, to evacuate the immigrants of the tent city of San Ferdinando by August 15th, without offering them alternative housing.
  • the decision of the mayor of Riace A. Tripods to ban the events scheduled for 8 August at the Global Village Square in Riace Superiore. In the afternoon would be scheduled the inauguration of the Blacksmith’s workshop, as well as the public meeting “La Calabria che ci Riace” and finally the screening of the documentary “Negri. Sport in the USA” in the presence of the director.
  • the delay in the disbursement of funds for the implementation of the CAS and SPRAR projects of Riace (2017-’18) by the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria.
  • the reluctance of Italian parties to repeal the Security Decrees.
  • the inhuman migration policies that the current government continues to implement in the Mediterranean.
