At Foggia a building collapsed, 64 were the dead ascertained, several injured and missing persons.
From the usual surveys about the causes of the tragedy it comes out a really alarming and unbelievable datum: in Italy there are 300.000, we say three hundred thousands buildings at risk. If we calculate ten apartments for each building and four persons in average per family we get to a total of 12 million citizens. How it is attempted to intervene in this matter? By equipping each building of an historical building register, a little book to prop the buildings at risk! If it were not at stake the life of millions citizens there would be to laugh about. Since there's a list it is presumed that buildings and risks are already detected exactly. Would it not be dutiful to impose the owners of the buildings - either private or public - the compulsion to carry out the works required to make them safe within well defined times?
A boy dies for a pill of ecstasy and what is the provision? Start off the inspections by policy as it were the only deterrent for pushers instead of arranging deeper and more serious interventions against pushers. This regards it would be convenient, among the sanctions alternative to imprisonment, to include the loss of civil rights for pushers, the suspension of passport and the replacement of the identity card with a special document.
They talk about the compulsoriness in using the crash helmets to limit car accidents as if the crash helmets were the solution to prevent the tragedies many families have gone through, whilst it is a system to increase sales and favour manufacturers.
It would be easier to bring back the age-limit to 21 and make the crash helmets compulsory also for light motorcycles.
Finally it has passed a constitutional law about the equality of rights of prosecution and defence - provisions already in force in all the countries belonging to the European Union - and it is welcomed as an exceptional event in Italy - while the Court of Justice of Strasbourg condemns the Italian government for the Prodi act that paradoxically bears the name of the present President of the European Committee.
These and others too are the incongruities of our society that we could list and which is not possible to comment on without being accused of political philistinism.
