Genoa – Friday evening, May 20, the first episode, when the Casa del Noi reception structure was targeted with a stone throw. By two people who then fled when the volunteers arrived.
On Sunday morning, the letter “Z” written in felt-tip pen, the one painted on the Russian tanks used in the invasion of Ukraine, and the name “Putin” appeared on the intercom of the residence. Once the writing was erased, it reappeared on Monday morning. And in this residence, in via Calamandrei in Pra ‘are hosted six Ukrainian refugee families.
This denounced Andrea Maganuco, head of Misericordia Ponente Soccorsothe association that manages the Casa del Noi.
“These are completely illogical and senseless episodes, which we hoped would never happen – explains Maganuco in a note – Friday at 21.05 the house was stoned by unknown individuals, put on the run by the arrival of some of our volunteers. Being late at night it was not possible to recognize or identify them or provide a precise identikit to the police. Our volunteers only saw two minute silhouettes escape. Sunday morning on the intercom at the entrance to the house the writing “Z Putin” appeared.
A completely unacceptable fact that we immediately proceeded to report to the competent authorities. On Monday the writing reappeared “.
Gestures that have disconcerted the entire association but also the community of Pra ‘. “Surely women and children who live in there are safe and we as volunteers are committed to giving them the maximum assistance, but we ask everyone’s collaboration in helping us to guarantee serenity to our / your refugees – explains the manager – We want to hope it was a girl, a stunt, maybe a joke of very bad taste, indeed we hope that someone anonymously will eventually give us confirmation that it was only and exclusively a joke. We have anyway informed the competent authorities, who will do their own investigations to see if the threats are real or not. Trusting in the help and sensitivity of all citizens in protecting these women and their children, we remain positive and convinced that it was just a bad joke that will never be repeated “.
