indignation or reflect here before the two common reactions to criticism. In these two positions has divided the city of Messina Antonello Caporale against the journalist who called together in Reggio Calabria, a "cesspool." This was unjustified insult or a courageous and necessary complain?
journalist Antonello Caporale called Messina and Reggio Calabria 'two sewers'
In recent weeks the Republic of journalist Antonio Caporale is the main topic of talks Messina. Not for the release of his book Mediocre, which also speaks of Messina Strait Bridge, nor for his work on the city newspaper, but rather because the TV talk show "Exit" it is possible to define Reggio Calabria and Messina "two sewers of the city."
The outcry over his words managed to stir the hearts of many Messina who are divided between those who are outraged believing those words an insult to the dignity of citizens (up to the lawsuit by the Mayor of Messina Giuseppe Buzzanca) , who has spoken in defense of Corporal and who (The committee "Young and Messina") has decided to intervene and open a debate by inviting the reporter to Messina.
Despite several attempts of obstruction by the city government, which are defined as "outraged" and reluctant to accept it, the debate with the journalist was there and was held in two sessions: the first in a library, where it is mostly presented his book "mediocre", and the second in a very popular youth club in town, Guernica, cultural and political center for the youth representative Messina.
words Antonello Caporale, therefore, have offended the poor and driven talent.
"I I accuse the misrule (...). But poor governance is not a product of the devil calls all personal responsibilities "
This is, in fact, way more often explained through blogs and emails of apology that the journalist sent to the citizens of Messina:" I apologize, then. with excuses, necessary and I hope useful, because the tone of the accusations, although reported in a very little wrong, does not seem excessive, I add some other considerations. I accuse the bad government, in charge of reckless handling of a lifetime, which Messina folded killed as Naples, Caserta destroyed, rendered servant Reggio Calabria. But poor governance is not a product of the devil call: all personal responsibilities. "
Faced with these allegations, "the class of the poor" has not taken the opportunity to reflect and discuss the real problems of the city (and therefore on the grounds that excessive expression of the reporter), has opened a dialogue with no Messina is intervened on the city's emergencies, but rather has taken a criminal prosecution against those he described, not inappropriately, a reality difficult and controversial.
the contrary, the purpose of the meeting was just to open a debate - between citizens, institutions, political organizations, unions, associations - and promote the culture the comparison. There are, in fact, Messina working on a better city and discuss the problems of real Messina Caporale knows that thanks to his journalism studies. It can not be tolerated the idea, expressed by some that "Corporal can not speak because he is not of Messina", or vice versa, "can not talk because he's the south."
Antonello Caporale should talk to the people of Messina, to confront and intervene with them; to his profession is not given any geographical boundaries, if not that the truth of the facts.
For 40 years they hear about a colossal Messina Strait Bridge but still no one has solved the practical problems Citizens
I, for Messina, I believe that we should not feel offended by the term "sewer" spoken by a journalist referring to our city to be offended should be all the problems that stifle Messina. The
Messina, in fact, waiting for hours to boarding the ferry and hydrofoil boats, waiting to be placed in the streets, the beaches that are clean, which is opened in the metro-rail Giampilieri-Messina, waiting under a plan that puts all and earthquake-resistant houses in a manner that they are assigned houses to those who still live in shacks. Messina
I expect to be revalued the local beauty, the historical and artistic heritage, the only things that can still be claimed when speaking ill of Messina: I speak of the recovery of our coasts and important historical and cultural centers of the past, such as the wonderful and forgotten Abbey Mili San Pietro.
And while they wait, they hear from those same Messina Strait Bridge in 40 years, the longest bridge in the world, which so far is only the most expensive bridge ever built in the world. This
exhausting waiting for concrete actions, even before any word of a journalist, should provoke anger and indignation of the citizens. A
arouse the indignation of Messina should be the issues that are suffocating the city, not the words of Corporal
Antonello Caporale did not merely expressing a sentiment shared and writes well in his blog Magradotutto Cerami Gabriella: "What he said Caporale is not in contradiction with the feeling of dissatisfaction that is felt in the city."
However, Messina on this occasion proved to be not only theater but also dissatisfaction with sterile house of people who have welcomed the journalist and took advantage of his presence to talk about themselves and their problems, thereby opening a debate that had tried several times to close.
The two-day Messina, as well as offering the possibility of a Corporal and know many people talk about himself and his book, has produced a discussion and a comparison that perhaps set in motion the machinery of the talents and contrasts to mediocrity, that speaks of Corporal in his book. The journalist
Messina greeted with these words: "I believe that collective reflection is much more useful than a lawsuit, but if the lawsuit is to do discuss, it is useful too."
