The accusations against Soumahoro’s mother-in-law (and the meeting of the Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra this morning) – Corriere.it

The day was a succession of twists and turns. Better: of investigative shots. And in the late afternoon Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni called Aboubakar Soumahoro in the room of their group of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra for a close face-to-face. finished at nine in the evening. But it was only a first round. There will be another meeting this morning.

Bonelli and Fratoianni looked Aboubarak in the eye for a long time. They had ignored him all day. To understand: in the afternoon with Fratoianni, not even a glance at Montecitorio’s ocean liner.

The story is hot. The management of the family companies has come under investigation and the mother-in-law of the Ivorian trade unionist, Marie Therese Mukamitsindo, is now under investigation. The accusations are heavy: they didn’t pay the workers and they didn’t even pay the contributions. Right in the house of Soumahoro, who based his political career on the struggle for the laborers.

An increasingly delicate case and a hectic day, yesterday’s, after the news of theregistration of the mother-in-law in the register of suspects. Leaving the deputies hall shortly before the meeting with its two leaders, the Ivorian trade unionist remained attached to his cell phone at all times. His eyes looking at the velvet floor.

From Palazzo Madama came the news that the vice president of the Senate Maurizio Gasparri, Forza Italia, has filed a parliamentary question on the case. Another one. Gasparri says: The question on the events concerning the possible cases of exploitation of foreign workers engaged in the agricultural sector in Latina and elsewhere.

Elsewhere: for Soumahoro they sprout problems also in the province of Foggia. Raising doubts against the Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra parliamentarian this time was Caritas of San Severo, in the Foggia area, and that is in the area where the new deputy in the past waged some of his most visible battles for the rights of labourers. Problems with financing to buy toys, in this case: too much money for too few children.

The loudest voice rises from Uil. the union that raised the case of the Karibe and Consorzio Aid cooperatives, those owned by Soumahoro’s wife and mother-in-law. It all started from us at Uiltucs and from the workers. It is not possible that today it becomes a battle for everyone: where were the institutions before, and politics in general?. Gianfranco Cartisano the secretary of Ulitucs of Latina. He says: Today for us there remains only one goal, that of restoring the dignity of these workers and paying them immediately. The prefect must, in this social affair, activate a specific table with all the bodies responsible for procurement. We can no longer wait for the bureaucratic passages of the building: we want salaries immediately.

Enrico Costa, deputy and deputy secretary of Action, stands up in an official defense: Aboubakar Soumahoro may have all the blame in the world, but the crazy media process.
