"The Marche Region will ask to become a civil party in the proceeding that will open, to defend the identity, values and image of the Marche and Marche. We have always been a supportive, inclusive community and we want to remain so, with commitment of all".
Thus the president of the Marche Region Francesco Acquaroli (Fdi) in a post on facebook, about the death of Alika Ogorchukwu, the peddler killed yesterday in Civitanova Marche by a 32-year-old Italian, while he was begging.
"Along with the pain and deep condolences for Alika's family, it is also necessary to reiterate the firm condemnation of an act of insane and unprecedented violence, which has no justification and which damages all the Marche region - explains Acquaroli -. The Marche is a land welcoming and supportive:
a fact like yesterday is unacceptable to our community and is completely foreign to our culture.
Zero tolerance is necessary with respect to violence, in all forms, with the synergistic commitment of all the institutions. "For this reason the Region will ask for a civil party.
"It's crazy to die like this, I hope the penalty is the maximum possible."
Thus the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, commented in Milan the story of Civitanova Marche where a Nigerian street vendor was killed in the street by a 32-year-old worker.
"The problem is that there are episodes of violence and crime in broad daylight all over Italy. It is not possible, but it happens because there is no certainty of the penalty", he added on the sidelines of an inspection at Milan Central Station.
Salvini then explained, replying to journalists, that he will not go to Civitanova Marche: "I don't go because, if I go, I make a mistake and exploit it. My prayer and commitment to ensure that the person responsible is punished is total".
The regional guarantor of rights Giancarlo Giulianelli uses the words "bewilderment", "indifference" and "disrespect" to comment on the murder of Alika Ogorchukwu, the Nigerian peddler killed yesterday in the street in Civitanova Marche for futile reasons by a 32-year-old Italian who was arrested for voluntary murder and robbery.
Giulianelli was.
among other things, the defender of Luca Traini, author in 2018 of a gunshot raid against black migrants on the streets of Macerata.
Today he also invites him to reflect on the dissemination of videos on the episode through social media.
"Bewilderment - he highlights - for the death of the Nigerian gentleman and for the brutality of those who committed the murder. Our deep closeness to the victim's family.
But at the same time we cannot fail to grasp the indifference shown by those who witnessed what was happening, who, instead of intervening to help, preferred to take photos and film films. "And it is precisely on photos and videos that Giulianelli focuses his attention for talk about disrespect. "Material that we find today - he says - in the press and on social media, without anyone paying attention to what it might mean for the family, for the child, to see those images.
If any other person had been in the same situation what would he have thought?
I believe that we must now give even more substance to our reflection on information and
use of social networks and it is for this reason that an expanded comparison with other guarantee authorities that deal with these issues, such as Corecom, with the professional association of journalists, with the representatives of our regional institutions, becomes indispensable.
It is an appeal that I hope will be met in a short time ".
"The brutal killing of Alika Ogorchukwu on the street in Civitanova Marche is astonished. The indifference is as serious and unjustifiable as the violence".
The Minister of Health and Article 1 leader Roberto Speranza writes on Twitter.
"In Civitanova Marche a man killed in the street with brutal violence, while witnesses were filming the scene. Don Albanesi is right: racism, indifference and anger find an outlet on the weakest. The worst face of society, that of discrimination and oppression".
Laura Boldrini, deputy of the Democratic Party and President of the Chamber Committee on human rights in the world, writes on Twitter.
