Not just news. The case of families in the forest has now become a political issue. And there have been clashes between Salvini and Anm. “Shameful state, I will go there”, were the words of the deputy prime minister and leader of the League immediately after the provision of the L’Aquila juvenile court, yesterday, on the transfer of the children to a community where they can live with their mother. “It is not worth exploiting”, answered the ANM Aquila Board. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Carlo Nordio and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are considering the possibility of sending inspectors to evaluate the case.
The families in the forest, Nordio and Meloni consider sending inspectors
During the meeting, Nordio and Meloni discussed the issue of suspending the parental rights of a couple living in the forest in Palmoli, Chieti province, with three minor children. Based on what happened, the prime minister is worried about this case and is waiting for further information regarding the matter evaluate whether to continuewith the approval of the Keeper of the Seal, appendixexaminers from the Ministry of Justice were sent to evaluate the case.
Meloni considers meeting with his father
Not only that. Giorgia Meloni intends, in the next few days, to do so met the father of the three children. In fact, the prime minister, who is now in South Africa to participate in the work of the G20 leaders, will certainly be impressed and want to look into this case more deeply.
Salvini’s position
Meanwhile, Matteo Salvini’s words immediately after the issuance of provisions to protect children did not go unnoticed. “I propose, not as a minister but as a parent, as a father and as an Italian follow the story straight away and if necessary, go there because I find it shameful that the state cares about the benefits of private educationabout the personal life choices of two parents who considered Italy a friendly country and instead stole their children,” he said.
And the Roman stronghold of Giugliano?
“As a parent, I am embarrassed by the behavior of the Italian State – added Salvini – towards an Australian mother who works as a teacher and a father who works as a cook and with her three children who have made a different life choice, not living in a center amidst haste and anxiety but in contact with nature, with private teachers for their children. They have no electricity, water or television. But I I was in the Roma camp in Giugliano in the suburbs of Naples last week, with hundreds of school-age and out-of-school children, dirty, without teachers, without electricity, gas or water and with parents who in many cases earn their living by stealing. Where are the social workers there? Where is the prosecutor’s office, juvenile court, state?”.
Anm: “Not worth exploiting”
The immediate response from the Anm L’Aquila Council was: “We believe any attempt at exploitation is inappropriate cases that, due to their specificity, attract the attention of citizens and the media, considering that it is a very complicated issue in which colleagues serving in the Prosecutor’s Office and the Juvenile Court deserve respect and attention”. And again: “In particular, the words of Minister Salvini, who considers State intervention in the benefits of private education, very surprising”, we read in a note.
“The Executive Council of the Section (Ges) of Abruzzo – underlined in the note from the Executive Council of the ANM District of L’Aquila – expresses full solidarity with colleagues from the Prosecutor’s Office and the Juvenile Court of L’Aquila, who were the targets of strong criticism raised by many commentators and some press organs in connection with the provisions issued to protect minors in the context of the now famous story about families living in the forest in the province of Chieti”.
The GES “rejects strongly – concludes the note – all attempts to interfere in the activities of judges carrying out their duties by responding exclusively to the law and delegitimizing those who, every day, work to protect citizens (and the most vulnerable among them)”.
