Fourth day of hunger strike for Mario Sanna , from Nuoro who lost his son Filippo in the Amatrice earthquake.
The man started a battle for the establishment of a fund for the relatives of the victims of major disasters, sending a letter to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni .
«I am one of the survivors of the Amatrice earthquake, also survived by Filippo - he writes - my eldest son who is only 22 years old, I started an indefinite hunger strike to ask for the establishment of a fund for the relatives of the victims of the great catastrophes» .
Remember the precedents in favor of the relatives of the victims of Viareggio and Rigopiano. «I hope he accepts the legitimate request, putting an end to a truly absurd sacrifice for a country that considers itself civilized like ours. Before even imagining and planning any reconstruction, one should think about the rubble that remains, immovable, in the souls of the survivors."
Sanna's battle finds the solidarity of the mayor of Nuoro, Andrea Soddu , who expresses closeness to the Nuoro native. «I would like to express on behalf of the entire administration my profound solidarity with Mario Sanna, one of our fellow citizens, who is on the fourth day of a hunger strike», states the mayor. «Mario Sanna - he continues - undertook this protest for a noble cause: the establishment of a fund to support the relatives of the victims of major catastrophes».
Mario's story is marked by the tragedy of the Amatrice earthquake, in which he lost his beloved son, Filippo. He began an endless hunger strike, with the aim of raising awareness of the need to create a support fund for families affected by disasters of this magnitude.
«The fund requested by Mario - underlines Soddu - would represent a sign of dignity, compassion and solidarity on the part of the State and our entire community. I join Mario's appeal and his legitimate request for the government to take this request into consideration and put an end to a sacrifice that appears absurd in a country that considers itself civilized like ours."
