ESF Funding: do not ask references about the recipients?
E 'party a few months ago but for some reason (perhaps because of "legal impediment" to one of the direct interested?) have presented only a couple of days ago. But facts are not missing anything: press conference, the presence of authority, interviews, much hype ...
This is the project entitled "Training and work: new perspectives on life," funded by the European Social Fund through the Regional Department of Family and addressed to prisoners of Catania and Giarre who learn a trade and then they will also practice in the enterprise and, as the Italian does not go out of fashion, they call it "work experience".
Everything nice: The objective of emptying the prisons overcrowded, the prisoners an opportunity to give a time out, the commitment companies to provide this support after the actual experience of teaching. Too bad the president of the cooperative City of the Sun (leader of the consortium running the project), the creator of this work, both the lawyer Nino Novello Rai as interviewed today by the savior of his country (at least in the prison) and a frequent visitor to Yesterday the nation's prisons - for a while, in reality, because it was like a script made you a "illness" and put him under house arrest and recently, I guess, finally free to custody time limits - for being involved the 'Last summer, prosecutors in the investigation of Catania the so-called Gang of social services, those that they shared in a manner not exactly legal contracts of the municipality. And if you look closely the names of the prison project partners, it jumps out at least one other: the Salvo Falletta, president of the consortium "Labor Solidarity" specialized work in the inclusion of disadvantaged people, also arrested in recent months in 'scope of that investigation along with a dozen people indicted on various fraud against the State and the Region of Sicily, embezzlement, abuse of office, rod rigging, fraud in public procurement, material false public document, false ideological, interruption of public service and who knows than anything else.
Now, I understand that may have made a direct and then - tell me - who better than they could identify with the need of re-employment of prisoners, but I wonder if in Brussels or wherever (I do not expect that to happen source, that is to Palermo) should not be someone before granting funding requests "references" on the recipients. Find, for example - from what the employees but some are afraid and want to remain anonymous - that the cooperative owes its fortune and its procurement from one end of Sicily to "cronyism, exploitation of workers, arrogance" and a lot another, including of course the close relations with politics, and would have discovered - although the process has not yet begun and yet desire to exercise all the guarantor of the world - might be better to suspend the allocation of funding as some of the recipients were involved in a history of fucking money to people (because you should never forget that money is the common citizens) and employment services for more elderly or disabled people. Maybe he would come to suspect that perhaps that money rather than the rehabilitation of prisoners would serve the enrichment of those who have profited over the weak. And maybe journalists should reflect moment on the expediency of their interviews. As if in Florence, instead of the victims' relatives, were interviewed Pacciani.
