Zingonia
FUORIPAGINA06/02/2010 the workforce for the strip of land between Bergamo, Brescia and Milan. As many, now and at low cost. Thus was born
Zingonia enormous speculation a bit 'surreal near Bergamo. Factories, houses for managers and a few meters from the highway which is the border with the ancient village of Ciserano, six towers for them, the southerners.
In fifty years everything has changed, not to change anything. Among the elders of the lower Bergamo also Polish carers who do are called today terrune. The African working in the factory is only a niger, and bars with the flag of the League can not be seen. In the realm of low-hard believers of
Maroni, Borghezio and Bossi, there Today the crisis. Direct from the airplane to Orio al Serio, you can count the few cars stationed in front of industrial buildings, making a statistical empirical but very visually effective. Parking deserts, very few trucks, warehouses closed. Spend the actual crisis, the industrial, the bad, the wind that leaves people at home. The evil that has led one worker to commit suicide, to set themselves on fire in front of one of the many empty squares, gray and useless. And so
Zingonia must change. The Niger and 'faces camel "- as the Northern League in the province of Bergamo president liked to call the North Africans - they must leave. The district built by Renzo Zingone symbol of industrialization in 1964 - before real estate speculation of northern Italy - is now to be thrown down. As in Rosario is to clean up, weed, driving
the map. The water gun
Zingonia The six buildings are now inhabited by 150 families, or nearly all composed of foreign migrants. Outweigh the Senegalese, the Pakistanis and North Africans. Are no public housing operated by organizations or the community. Those who entered the buildings Zingonia pays a rent or, very often, he bought the flats from the previous tenants Italians. Slay them all away, how he wants the league, is therefore a problem. Last December 3 in the morning a group of engineers Bas - water management company controlled by A2A - cut the water pipes, sparking a revolt by a few hours. The company will pay a very high was presented with nearly 400 000 € of unpaid bills. But all is not actually so clear.
By two accounts, one of six buildings is water consumption for the last year of nearly nine hundred euro per family. It appears therefore that does not add up. In late December, the families of Zingonia have collected thirteen thousand euro, delivered to the mayor of Ciserano, which in turn will have paid the company controlled by A2A. A first advance that allowed the reopening of the taps. Bergamo to gentry water but not enough: the four hundred thousand euro in arrears want them all.
Divide et impera
"We have an agreement," he announced at year-end Enea Biagini, the former mayor PPI - Democratic Party today - to Ciserano. A pact signed by him, by A2A and representatives of condominiums chosen field, without a regular meeting of the condominium. Indeed, the building for years is gone, when the last director resigned. The agreement provides that each family of towers Zingonia verses € 125 every month. In one year € 1500, the Water of A2A. The collection of money is entrusted by the sudden head condominium, which should run every month of the eight floors of the palace asking for families without work or redundancy money. As long as someone does not pay the water and end of the month is cut back, the whole building. That was evident earlier this week at a condominium. And so it probably will happen in a few days for another tower Zingonia.
After the protest on 3 December last cut here is water under the cover of the armed forces. Unlike Aprilia - Acqualatina where patrols are accompanied by private vigilantes - law and order is guaranteed by the Alps, by the police and local police. And if you cut the water becomes easier to blame those families who have not been able to put € 125 monthly, thus dividing the communities of foreigners. Via
an apartment is offered at auction 18 000 €, with an assessment of the expertise of 48 000 €. And here as well as for calculating the water bills of 2009, there is something else again. All the studies, except one, put pen to paper in the palaces of Zingonia there are debts of the building or water. "The administrator is not," explained the expert, and, therefore, no one knows what the real debt. And because the counter has always been home ownership, it is impossible today for the families of Zingonia determine with certainty whether the accounts presented by A2A are correct.
Analyzing the judicial history of the eleven apartments which will
auction can be discovered by the black market rents in black. And here Italians enter the scene. There is the example of an apartment owned by an Italian, where the bailiffs have found a foreign family. "We have a lease," they responded, showing an agreement on record. "Who paid?" Asked the expert of the Court: "At this
Maximus, who collects money every month because the landlord we've never seen," was the reply. Needless to talk to Max, of course, because it'll be there the owner said he did not want even to experts of the Court. Empty flats were then walled up by the City of Ciserano, so that other families could enter. Up To date 22 apartments have been closed and at least three of these were owned by Italians, but
used by families of foreigners, often irregular. Today
with an ax cut the water - after the past five years has been cut warming - most of the families would leave. The problem remains for those who are no outstanding loans - and there are many - for those in the apartment saw the possibility of redemption, of a normal life, a future for their children. Many have been here for years, unable to keep a job, even precarious, even to black. They send their children to school, where - despite Gelmini and the league - make friends, study, have teachers who know. It is these families that the weapon against the debt of the water is used today: the taps remain dry and be forced to
use the drinking fountains in the courtyards, in the middle of winter and the elevators are broken
the "exit strategy". Why on Zingonia is preparing a future millionaire.
hands on Zingonia
In the name of security around here we do everything. And it is an asymmetric security, where you must make sure the only capital. The families, home and work can be thrown away. "Zingonia is a ghetto." "Zingonia is the kingdom of the store." "A Zingonia is better not to go." For a year hammering "I took possession on 8 June - says the mayor of Ciserano Biagini - and 10 in the region asked me all the pre-projects, worth
rejection of the contract of the district." Can not of course be able to send the documentation. And so the design of the new Zingonia with a more human face fell, quashed by the Lombardy Region.
Come the provincial elections, the League that the expulsion of foreign Zingonia made his main battle, won the post of president. In October, part of the new proposal by the region: the project should be reformulated - said in a meeting behind closed doors - we give you five million euro to expropriate all lands and assignments with "ad hoc calls." Disappears all the social and economic studies, it remains just speculation. A month went by and suddenly the A2A starts cutting water demand figures and impossible to families. A fortuitous coincidence, of course. Zingonia will probably die. The 150 families will be expelled, sent away as has happened in Rosario. But the league could be a battle just
apparently won. "You see, Italians do not even know the world on the Internet - says a Moroccan boy in front of buildings Zingonia - and this country will die without us." In a slow and tragic suicide.
