For five days about forty people - adults and children - Italians, they live in the churchyard of the Cathedral of Catania. People who are there to loudly ask «that the promises made by Mayor Bianco be kept, PD, he did it four and a half years ago – explained one of them, Salvatore Cutrona – or houses, Work, the accommodation of disadvantaged families and the neighborhoods themselves. Bianco, you can read it on http://www.worldnotix.net, was elected with the votes of the neighborhoods – continued Cutrona – in fact the 25 protesting families come from Librino, Pigno, Sant'Agata Village, St. George and St. Christopher – promises of which we still have records, but turned out to be an end in themselves. We have been here for days without eating or drinking and we are desperate: we asked several times to be heard, the last resort was to turn to the Church, because we have no home, much less those promises, and nowhere to go."*

«Pope John said “open the doors, open wide the doors of God", Monsignor Scionti closed the doors – accused Pietro Giglio – the parish priest of Sant'Agata showed his distrust towards us, denied blankets to the children, he kicked us out, he didn't even give us a glass of water to take the medicine". Pietro's wife confirmed this, Carmela Porto: «I am diabetic and I am not taking proper care of myself, but for a good cause, for our dignity".
«Il 29 November a group of us spent the night in the Cathedral – explained Giusi Tirelli – only to be thrown out the next morning by the parish priest. Now there is only one person left inside, my aunt, Aurora De Luca, who certainly has no intention of going out. Our battle will continue from inside the Cathedral. They treat her well, but it is to us that the priest has given instructions not to give us anything to drink or eat. One of our representatives turned to Caritas, but they replied that they only help immigrants, because the funds are there only for them. We also have children here, about fifteen, and many of them have cough and fever". «We were only helped by volunteers and poor people like us – commented Giglio – we will stay here until Bianco keeps his promises from four years ago».
