Lavizzara - A dozen Eritrean asylum seekers on the march from the small town of Peccia (Lavizzara) towards Bellinzona. At the base of the escape there would be a willingness to denounce the conditions in which stays forty asylum seekers in the village of the high Maggia Valley. The rebel group, fled on foot without any authorization and escaping the control of the overseers, would be tracked down and stopped shortly after Bignasco.
The incident, which occurred last week, is confirmed by the mayor of Lavizzara Michele Rotanzi. That, however, disagree on the arguments of the protest. "These people wanted to go to Bellinzona to complain - he said -. Yet they are in a beautiful place, not in a bunker. Housed in the former kindergarten, they have three dormitories, always active showers and heating. They are not in a situation as precarious. "
The problem, according to informed sources, is linked to a precise mechanism.
Eritreans of Peccia via mobile phones are in daily contact with the asylum seekers staying in Losone and other places plain. "It happens that maybe are sent photographs - highlights Rotanzi -. So those of Peccia they realize that someone is in the sun and no snow. Maybe it takes over the desire to be treated equally.
On the one hand I understand them: I am African and around them at this time see 30 centimeters of snow and the mountains only. Psychologically it may not be easy, especially for those that are found to Peccia already for several months.
But the State can not do miracles, availability are what they are. " The mayor ensures that the alarm is still back in a few hours. And that, in any case, the claims of Eritreans will be considered by the competent authorities.
"From what I understand - he concludes - they will designate a spokesperson that will expose doubts and concerns to the cantonal experts."
