Saman, Vauro: “insufficient left in everything, but indecent and hypocritical indignation races”

The story of Saman Abbas rips a veil: has there been a slowness on the left in taking a stand in battles in which the victim of violence is a woman of foreign origin of Muslim religion? “I think that our so-called left is insufficient in everything. But I do not look with sympathy at the indignation, indecent, hairy and hypocritical contests. I believe more in structural solutions, in denunciations and in social organization. This girl has asked for help. And probably. with greater efficiency and attention it could be saved “. The cartoonist Vauro Senesi talks about it with Adnkronos, asking: “Why compare different dramas to talk about immigration? Politics should have another role both at central and regional level: building and entrusting relief structures and civic education to people competent “. “Given this macabre game of putting corpses on the scales – continues Vauro – civics education would need not only some Pakistani immigrants but also several Italian commentators and politicians. The story of Saman is a terrible fact of which I can only share the indignation . But I would not want this story to be used in an attempt to demonize Islam. How many women have asked for help for mistreatment and then been killed? It is politics that must create awareness, places, opportunities, structures. race to indignation – denounces the cartoonist – is the one with straw tails and I’m talking about everyone “. Is greater awareness of the right to equality necessary for everyone? “Yes, we should get to the bottom of the question: understand that an integration process does not involve abandoning one’s cultural roots. A social and political commitment is needed, in the direction of civic education aimed at integrating, not ghettoizing or allowing ‘self-ghettoisation. I don’t think that the tragedy of so many Saman is resolved to those who show their indignation better. But by intervening. Who would not disapprove of such a tragedy? “. (by Roberta Lanzara)
