In these hours we are following all the events in Paris, the massacre that is occurred in the heart of Europe, in the heart of one of the cities symbol of civilization western. Aside from the madness of religious fundamentalism, it makes me think about the fact that the murderers grew up in the degraded Parisian suburbs. Scampia, Ponticelli, Tor Sapienza, Giambellino, Maidstone or the Bronx are all degraded suburbs of some of the cities symbol of Western culture. We build immense metropolises with dormitory neighborhoods which in recent years have often hit the headlines for revolts, wars between blindfolds or, as in the case of the French tragedy, for being the ground in which religious fundamentalism takes root. There’ the necessity to rethink the suburbs, we must ensure that they become city areas with the same nobility of the center, with the same services. Continuing to create dormitory neighborhoods does nothing but generate inequalities, social friction and economic opportunities. for criminal organizations of all kinds. When the West realizes account of these and other injustices will be able to lay the foundations for a civilization better.
