We are the migrants. We Italians. If we scroll through the last one Migrantes 2024 reportin fact, more than the invasions from abroad we should be concerned about them escapesespecially young people. While Italians in Italy are decreasing, Italians abroad exceed 6 million. Many young people, many with children, however start a family they go to another country. They will enrich another country with their vigor, their intelligence.
They start from small provincial townsintended for depopulation, disappearance. They start from businesses closingswallowed up by stores. They leave to find work, and a job more remuneratedto afford to rent or even buy housing. From us i prices in big cities are prohibitive, unfair, a steal. As we reject the futurepushing it towards other shores intelligent and welcomingwhich they offer job opportunitiessupport the youngest a set up a houseto choose a child who is not a luxury for the wealthy few.
This is how this country is increasingly only for old people. Sure, yes enthusiasm of a twenty-year-old to discover the worldand other peers around the world, was favored by school and university exchangescome on low cost flightsfrom theabolition of borders within the European Union. As long as they are new barriers do not return and do not return to the past, like the United Kingdom he decided.
Sure, if you give a boy the world to walk through, he chooses momentum, adventure, open borders and their fascinating risks. Stay is tiring, losing, desolatewhen you hear your friends that they earn doubleyour friends with three children and guaranteed daycarefree diapers, the week in smart working and also of four days.
Of course, they aren’t always roses and flowers. We miss Italy a lot, maybe for the climateyou want for the character of its peoplefor i prejudices who accompany us, because from afar all the evils that we attribute to our politicsall critical issues that seem eternal and unresolved to us fade, and vividly appear i evils of elsewhere which is harder to live without feeling at home.
Then, and here I am gambling, there is the sense of belonging to a homelandwhich could push us to stay and do something for this homeland. There is the sense of responsibility for a country that our fathers have built, risking, losing and then winningwhich demands new generations as well courageous.
I know that the martyrdom cannot be demanded and not everyone can take up the challenge. I know that politics cannot happen alibi and that at the cost of displeasing someone, it is better to displease them golden pensions and big businesses that young people, choosing to address not only them crumbs.
But dream of young people that they choose to remain. To raise their children here, in «beautiful country where the yes sounds»
