The geopolitical earthquake that hit African countries bordering the Mediterranean will produce side effects, including the invasion of Body Snatchers. I like to call it the probable arrival in Italy later this year of 50,000 desperate people from the Maghreb. According to estimates by the Minister Maroni, the Province of Como, it would then be about 600. Our province, as the town of Santa Mira in the science fiction film directed by Don Siegel, would be invaded by a tribe with the keffiyeh that we should take care. In the film, things go wrong. The space invaders are replicated in large pods and can to replace the local population during sleep, beginning the conquest of territory. Can you imagine if it happened also in Como and the days passed we became surrogates without emotions? Worry, it will not happen. It will happen instead of once again grumbling and complaining, we do our part. We will help the good Samaritans because those who suffer is a sign of civilization. After all, we are not devoid of emotions Como refractory or reception of those who are less fortunate than us. In the past we have welcomed refugees from Lebanon and the Slavic countries devastated by civil war, to mention just two examples. How can we build the barricades? The problem, if anything, is where to put the guests. Yes, in short, we make the victims of Gaddafi in Maroni wants to give us the gift? We house them in barracks or in the old St. Anne De Cristofori. Every local politician could take a family of Bedouin. We understand the fly because they speak the same language: Arabic. jokes aside, in the words of Don Tonino Bello "accept sometimes is a sign of resignation. Wait is always a sign of hope. " Fasciamoci not before having his head broken. Perhaps the Body Snatchers not have bad intentions. Their experience can enrich our lives. Their humanity, make us understand that no one is safe in a world that trembles and suffers.
