Rigopiano, the families of the victims at Palazzo Chigi: “No more pats on the back”. Meloni is moved by a letter from a little girl

Giorgia Meloni she “was moved” by receiving the letter from an 11-year-old girl who lost her mother in the Rigopiano tragedy. She told it Giampaolo Matroneamong the survivors of the avalanche that overwhelmed the Hotel in Farindola in 2017, after having delivered to the premier “the letter written by my daughter Gaia a few days ago”.

A letter conveying to the prime minister “her displeasure at not having a mother for six years. Since the president is a mother, she can understand what a child can go through if she doesn’t see her mother for a day, but she has been for six years She was moved as soon as I gave it to her, she told me she will read it later because it was too heavy to read at that moment”, said Matrone. “I saw her very close to our situation, we asked her above all not to do as the previous institutions have always done, which only welcomed us with a pat on the back – he added, who survived after having remained under the rubble for 62 hours -. He said he will be close to us now and in the future.”

To Meloni, he said, the family members “explained the procedural situation, the times too long especially for an abbreviated procedure, the hearings postponed due to artfully invented strikes to lengthen the times”. “Then – he concluded – I also gave you a small memorandum on the situation of the civil trial, which we will have to deal with and which may last another 5-6-7 years. It was an event with important bodies, the Abruzzo Region, the Province, Municipality, Prefecture, they can also come to a compromise and a table with us and let’s see what can be done”.

“Never again”. This is the message delivered to Meloni, together with requests such as “establishing a national prosecutor’s office to deal with the great Italian massacres”.

The anniversary of the earthquake in L’Aquila

Meloni could be in L’Aquila next week for the anniversary of the 2009 earthquake. Day ‘X’ is April 6, when 14 years will have passed since that night which – at 3.32 am – brought with it 309 victims, leaving a territory folded by the fury of the earthquake. “We are evaluating if the agenda allows it – he anticipated, leaving Palazzo Chigi, the governor of Abruzzo Marcus Marsiliustogether with the delegation of family members and survivors of Rigopiano – contacts are underway with the Municipality of L’Aquila, so it is a possibility”.
