Other people concerns

WELCOME TO FRANK MENCHISE BLOG OF GENZANO DI LUCANIA, YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AS LONG AS YOU LIKE.

Welcome to our blog, Genzano it story
and this post, other people concerns
-

The Italian republic has two houses, their role is that they both have to approve new laws. Most time what they are doing seems endless, because they don't agree on some grounds. So, whatever they have to approve move back and forward. 
Other people concerns
In our last post, we have talked about some of the concerns that the Italian people are facing these days. It seems to me that there are several things that need to be done, but who is going to do it we don’t know yet. We had these promises from the Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi that the Italian government would do anything possible to fix the houses that the earthquake has destroyed, as soon as possible. Well that was when the earthquake struck, but as we all know the world of politics is never still, because things can change very rapidly.    So, who is going to say that the victims will receive what he has promised, now that he has resigned.  
Anyhow we are following what is happening over there and we think it is worth mentioning, so that our readers could be informed. Therefore, today we are going to write about the Italian elections that have been held the last Sunday. The election was about some changes to the Italian constitution. Anyhow, this election about the Italian constitution has taken place and the result have been negative, therefore, there will not be any changes to the constitution. But what other changes this election might trigger, we don’t know yet. Therefore, some of us would be concerned about what could happen next.
Because the world of politics is hard to predict, one could only speculate what is going to happen. The most likely outcome would be that after the prime minister Matteo Renzi has resigned, and therefore they should form a new government with a new prime minister, or could be even worse, we really don’t know, since there can be other changes as well. Now if that is going to be the case and a new government is formed; with a new government in charge one may ask; what about all those promises that this present government has given to the Italian refugees that now are homeless, because of the earthquake. Are those promises still going to be kept?
What could happen next
Anyhow there is a big question mark, about what is going to happen next.
Today while I am writing this article in Italy they are trying to find who is going to try to be prime minister next, there are several names that come up, but there is also this malcontent of most politicians, who believe that a new election should be kept as soon as possible, so that a government elected by the people could be sworn in.
Whatever they do it is going to take time, because in Italy politics are very complex, since there are too many parties to choose from, so, it is not easy to have a majority government from any election. Now, while all this politics stuff is happening with no end in sight, one starts to wonder what is going to happen to those people that need directions from the government, because there will be always new problems that come up. I believe that they are having a hard time over there, but they should form a new government, so, we hope that they can do that quickly enough.
Now, let us leave behind the political scene and think about the existing problems that the people of Italy are facing today, which again take us back to the earthquake refugees and the overseas refugees, because they seem to be the most urgent things that need the attention of the authorities. Okay we can say that the onsite authorities know already what they should do, because they have been instructed from the previous government, so they can carry on doing what they know, but it may soon come a time that they need new directions. Now, if there is no new government formed soon, who is going to say what needs to be done, one may ask? So, there are many things that the Italian people should be concerned about today. But let us look back at the refugees’ situation.
Today refugees’ situation
Since the election of the Italian referendum that have been negative, in the news the refugees’ problems are not reported much, they don’t seem very important today, so, they have moved in second place, as far as news are concerned. But really those people that need a roof over their heads, they still need a roof over their heads, those overseas refugees that come by boats and end up in the Mediterranean Sea and need to be rescued continue to arrive uninvited, so, there is really a need for a good government to give the right directions, but there is no real government as we can see, so, how are they going to solve this problem?
We believe that we all should be concerned about all these things that are happening today, but at the same time we should not despair, because the world has always been a bit like this, it goes up and down and there are always problems to be solved. Sometimes these problems are solved fast and sometimes we need to wait a bit longer. But I believe that we all should have our say, sometimes one of us can express a different idea that might turn to be helpful.
I believe that we have said a few things in this article and there is a lot more that could be said, but what is at the top of my mind are the refugees that need help. Now the earthquake refugees need a roof over their head now, because it is cold over there in winter and then they need their houses rebuilt, as promised from the Italian government, when the earthquake struck; I believe that this has partly been achieved the rest remain to be seen.
The overseas refugees also need to be looked after, even though they are not Italian, all this is done on humanitarian grounds, but one starts to wonder, whether some of these refugees are really people that need to leave their native countries to live their lives. Or if there could be a way to keep them in their own country of origin. I believe that this is what the world should be looking at, since they create problems to the countries that accept them, in the future they may even create more unseen problems, because of the massive concentration of people, that will be living on a small part of the world, this should be one of our concerns. Just let us think about that?
I would like to keep these articles short, So, I think that I have said enough already, see you soon, when I think of something else to talk about, perhaps about what could be done to slow down the refugees from Africa, that don’t seem real refugees, as they are all well fed and dressed, you see, real refugees are people that have been starving for a long time, they are skinny and badly dressed, because they are poor. So, I will try to talk about this in our next article. Hoping that I could be able to suggest something that could help.   
Let us explain how Italy is run
Dear readers, because to explain how Italy is run is very complex, I am going to paste here how it is explained by the expert, so that people that don’t know can easily learn about it.
 Politics of Italy is conducted through a constitutional republic with a multi-party systemItaly has been a democratic republic since 2 June 1946, when the monarchy was abolished by popular referendum and a constituent assembly was elected to draft a constitution, which was promulgated on 1 January 1948.
The executive power is exercised collectively by the Council of Ministers, which is led by the Prime Minister, officially referred to as President of the Council ("Presidente del Consiglio"). Legislative power is vested in the two houses of parliament primarily, and secondarily on the Council of Ministers, which can introduce bills and holds the majority in the parliament. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislative branches. It is headed by the High Council of the Judiciary. The president is the head of state, though his position is separate from all branches. The current President is Sergio Mattarella and the current Prime Minister of Italy is Matteo Renzi.
Now that I have pasted one of the Wikipedia explanation, I hope that hub pages will not find it as duplicate content. Anyhow I am going to try what happens, I can always delete it if necessary.
See you soon.

Today the mafia is different from their beginning they are mostly criminals, here is one colourful mafia person, Al Capone, a very colourful American criminal of the thirties. Today all the mafia people are criminals. Since they don't play any part in helping others

Concerned about the mafia

About the refugees and the mafia

Dear readers, even though I have called this post, concerned about the mafia, I have to say that it should have been called, we should be concerned about the refugees and the mafia. Anyhow, in the last two articles we have been talking about, the earthquake in central Italy that has destroyed many houses, for this reason, the people affected have nowhere to live and they have become refugees, in their own country. So, they are very much like the illegal emigrants, which are also refugees, even though they are coming from outside Italy. Anyhow, we have talked about these two sorts of refugees, because they both concern the Italian economy, as they both need money and other things to solve them. We could say that these are two negative issues, which need to be talked about, if we want to solve these problems the best way we can. Today these problems exist in Italy and in other parts of the world as well, even though they might need a different approach to solve them. But let us see what we think it could be done to minimize the negative outcome.
We know already that the Italian government has promised to rebuild all the buildings’ that have been damaged from the earthquake. So, that is already something positive to start with. Now under normal circumstance and given time, with the knowledge that we have nowadays, these problems could be solved properly, but it might not be that easy because of the existing mafia in Italy. 
In my personal views and I am sure that I am not alone in understanding this issue of the mafia; the way I understand it is this; whenever in Italy there are large sums of money to be spent, soon enough the Italian mafia wants a share of this money, which is an act so low and disgusting and as an Italian, I start feeling ashamed of being one, because of this low moral that the mafia has now. I know that today the Italian mafia are only criminals and they want only to grab as much money as they can; but the mafia has not been like that all the time, in fact, even today the word mafia to the Sicilians and other regions near Sicily the word mafia means a person or a group of people that are fearless and are not letting anybody take them for fools, they are also a bit of an authority, as we are going to explain hereunder in this article.
But before we do that, let us mention also that Italy has this other problem of the illegal refugees, so, we are going to say something about this issue also, we hope that we can write a few things down, which would highlight the problems they can cause, hoping that during our discussions we could suggest something that would be useful. We will write about this in this article as well, since this is the reason why I have been writing our last few articles and if necessary, we will write even more articles.
Talking about the mafia
Now, let us talk first about the mafia, because this could be a real concern in Italy. The mafia of today is different from the original mafia, that is the reasons why some old people see the mafia a bit different from being just plain criminals. The mafia origin is very old, just like the history of Sicily is very old where the mafia organization began. To understand the mafia origins, one needs to go back in history and try to understand the way of life that the people in Sicily had to live with. Because Sicily is an island right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea it has been invaded many times, so, every new ruler imposed their own way of dictatorship, which most times made the Sicilians people suffer. But the Sicilians are strong willed people and proud to be Sicilian, so they would always try to have also their own rules, like another government within the ruling government. They were sometimes doing this together with the ruling government of the day, at other times they were sort of rebels that would help the people that were suffering from the government rules.
There were times in the past, when we could say that the old mafia has played a part and has been a sort of Sicilian government for the people of Sicily, which had its own rules, and most times they would oppose those foreign rules that would hurt the Sicilian people. Well that is the good part of the mafia in the old days, of course there were also bad things done, but that is a different story, today we want only to compare the old good mafia with today criminal mafia, which does completely nothing positive for the Sicilian people, or any other community that they happen to be in.
But let us go back to the reason why we are talking about the mafia in this article. We are talking about it, because we are afraid that the criminal mafia of today, does not do anything at all to help the native people, in fact they are so selfish that instead of helping those people that need help, they rob them of the help the government or other institutions provide for these people. So, in my opinion they should be ashamed of themselves, because they do not provide any service to the community that need help, like they might have done in the past. Therefore, today to look at the mafia as an organization that the people might accept is impossible, they should be seen only as criminal, because this is as low as the mafia of today has become, they are just plain criminals.
It is a well-known fact that wherever is money to be spent, the mafia pretends a share of it, they do not provide any services or any help at all, as they did or pretended to do in the past, they only tell the people to give them a share of it, or you will be killed. What sort of people are these, that rob the poor people that want to do the right things and those that need help? We hope that the Italian authorities can catch them soon enough and neutralize them by throwing them in jail or something else. So, that the people that should work to rebuild the buildings damaged from the earthquake are left in peace and can do a good job, without worrying about the mafia people.
We could say a lot more about the mafia and the problems that concerns the people that have lost their houses, and they have become refugees in their own country, and how we see the problem that the Italian government is facing to fix their houses, including the control of the mafia. Anyhow, we want to keep this article brief, so we should move on. Because we would also like to say something about the other refugees that come from overseas, as this is also a problem that Italy is facing today and we need to be concerned about it too.
---------------------------------------
Concerns about the overseas refugees
We would like to say something about the refugees that come from overseas, because we think that they could cause many problems in Italy in the future, so we would like to point out what we see coming. So, let us start from the ways they are coming, which is not right, because most of them are not real refugees, they are just people that want to find a better life, just because they believe that there is a better lifer to be found. 
What is usually happening is that they want to go to Europe because they have learned from their friends that have already moved there that in Europe the standard of life is a lot better than in their own native land, so, whether they are real refugees that have been displaced from catastrophic events, like wars or another natural event, or they are just wanting to try this new life anyhow, they move in large numbers from many countries. The worrying part is that they are moving in very large numbers, so, it is hard for the countries that takes them in to cope with all these illegal emigrants, so, they are causing already and they are likely going to cause lots of problems, not only when they arrive, but also in the future.
Some people still think that it might be okay to take them in and help them; well we should say that on humanitarian grounds we should really take them in and help them. But at the same time, we should also look if in the long run, they would cause unforeseen problems to the countries that they have moved in, which we believe that there are going to be many problems, so, we wish that this illegal emigration should be stopped if possible, or at least discouraged, but some people don’t see it this way, so, instead of discouraging them they write articles that would encourage them to go to Europe, like an article that I found on the internet, which I am going to quote some of it here-under.
Here are some benefits of living within the European Union:
Easy relocation to another country within the EU without the need to emigrate. In some countries, you may need to register and you may have to have an income or a job, but that is all about it.
Then, he goes on telling other things and the freedom you could have, if you live in Europe to visit many countries and makes a list of them. The twenty member countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, the Netherland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom until it moves out in 2018.
Then this writer continues to explore the benefits for the people that live in the European Union, and the choice that they have, so for me that I see problems ahead is somehow upsetting and I wish he did not write that.
Anyhow, I could say a lot more about my own views, but I believe that this article is becoming too long, so I will write about these issues that are worrying me in our next article.
See you soon.

Italian concerns continued

WELCOME TO FRANK MENCHISE BLOG OF GENZANO DI LUCANIA, YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AS LONG AS YOU LIKE.
-
Welcome to our blog, Genzano it story
and this post, Italian concerns continued
-
The central Italy earthquakes are continuing. One can only hope that they stop soon to give the people of that regions some hope that things could become to normal one day.




Italian concerns continued
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, we Italians should be concerned, since this is about the same issue, let us continue to talk about what is happening in Italy these days. In our last article ‘We Italians should be concerned’, we were talking about two main issues, one was about the earthquake that has rocked central Italy for the last few months and still goes on every now and then, the other was about the refugees or illegal emigrants, which has gone on for several years: from our point of view both issues are related, because they put a strain on the Italian economy, they also involve all the Italian authorities and they are making a great effort to solve these problems. So, let us talk about how they are doing, and if they are getting there and solving their problems.
When the first earthquake struck, the Italians were quick to respond and helped the people affected from the earthquake, they seemed well organized to do this sort of things, so much so that most Italians including myself could feel proud to be Italians. So, we were all believing that the Italian authorities were doing well and had everything under control, because they were quick to help the earthquake people, at least it seemed so at that time. But when earthquake of these magnitude happens, and they continue to happen things are not that easy to fix, so people affected might start losing hope.
So, today we are asking ourselves, whether the initial interest in helping the earthquake victims is losing interest, because they seem to have slowed down a bit. They should know that during this time of the year, they cannot afford to do that, because winter is coming and winters are very cold over there, especially on the mountains the temperature falls below zero most nights and to sleep in a tent is terrible to say the least. So, they should try to fix some better temporary accommodation as fast as they can. Anyhow, at least this is how most people feel it should be done, but it is not always possible to do that the way that we would like to do it. So, we should wait and see how the Italian authorities will solve this humanitarian problem, which has come from natural causes that nobody can stop happening. Anyhow, the Italians seem to be mostly on their own to face their problems, since in the world there are several other problems and everyone tries to fix their own first.
Above we have mentioned that usually people try to blame somebody else, or something else, because there are things that usually complicate the outcome, so, let us see what these things are that makes people unhappy.

Inclement weather and other
For people that have been affected severally from the quake, and today they don’t have any more a roof over their head, inclement weather is their enemy number one, this is followed by their worries about the properties that they have been forced to temporary abandon, because they are now open to robberies, the authorities in charge do what they can to stop thieves entering them. But thieves are people that don’t care about other people properties and the laws that forbids them to enter other people properties. So, some of them will find a way how to rob the already unfortunate people that have lost so much already. When we think about all this, we can only feel very sorry, for those people that are going through all this painful stuff, even though, they have not done anything wrong to deserve this. So, if these people are unhappy we understand the reason why.
Now that I have mentioned above this issue, about deserving or not what they are going through. I cannot help to remember that in the news there has been this foolish priest that has said that this is a divine punishment, how he can believe that stuff I do not know, but he said it anyhow; he must be a bit like the Muslims, who believe that their God Allah will punish them if they don’t do what is written in their Koran, or what they believe is written in the Koran. They both live in their fantasy land and believe in these extremist views. But let us leave behind this believing issues, because what has happened here is a natural disaster and not God send.  
As we have said, already, the main enemy of those people that don’t have a roof over their head is inclement weather, so, it is imperative that they find a way how to protect themselves soon enough, before the winter comes if possible, because over there in winter-times very little can be done, of course that depends how severe the winter will be this year, one could hope that it is not that cold; but it is better to think that it could be very cold. So, the authorities that have already promised the people so many things at the start, they better try hard to fulfil their promises, because winter is just around the corner, so to speak. We could say more about all these problems that these unfortunate people are facing today, which could be liked to other problems as well, that we are going to discuss, about the refugees and the mafia, where we are going to write about our own personal views about them, in our next article later. 
Now, we should say that in Italy there are other urgent problems as well, so, the government cannot concentrate all its efforts to the earthquake people, because there are also the refugees that need help, as we have already said. 


Every day there are thousands of illegal emigrant, they come in by sea on whatever floating device they can find, it is a real problem over there, and it could get worse if a solution is not found.



Back to the refugees’ problem
The refugees’ problem is a worldwide problem, but for Italy, because of its unique position in the Mediterranean Sea is getting a very large share of refugees, which is no good for the Italians; these refugees also need food and shelter, like the people that lost their houses in the earthquake. So, the Italian authorities need to work hard to solve these accommodation problems, for both. But that is not going to be easy, because the sheer number of these refugees that need help causes some problems that are hard to solve. But they need to be solved before they become even larger. But there are even more problems, because of what happens in Italy now and has happened for a very long time. The worse part of this refugees problem is that there is no end in sight. But this cannot go on for a long time, because there will be other problems that these refugees would cause.
Some of these concerns are already well known throughout the world, one of which is that they bring with them some extremist elements, as we have seen a few times already; everybody knows about a year ago what these extremists did in France and then Belgium and other countries as well. No   country can be safe from them, because of their extremist beliefs, which could be attributed to their religious beliefs, or just for convenience they try to blame their religion to commit these atrocious crimes. Whatever is their reasons, they don’t deserve to be helped at all. Why help them when they turn around and kill you. One should ask oneself, how this could make sense in this people twisted minds.
So, today the entire world should work out this problem of the refugees, because not only they rely on the willingness of other countries to help them. Because, other countries go to help them on humanitarian grounds, they help them willingly without thinking that one day they could cause real problems.
We will be talking about, some of these problems that they can cause in our next article, where we are going to talk about, the unseen problems that the refugees can cause, the extremist problem and the mafia problem. You see, this is one of the reasons why I am writing these articles here.  See you soon, in our next article called, concerns about refugees and mafia.

We Italians should be concerned

Welcome to our blog, Genzano it story

We Italians should be concerned

Italy is a European country in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea that today has many problems of its own. One is that there are too many refugees coming in, the other is the recent earthquake in central Italy. Both these events make life harder for the Italian people, for this reason we should be concerned.  










We Italians should be concerned
Dear readers, I am going to stop writing my life story for a while, I will come back to it another time, because there are other things more important to write about. Let me explain, I have already written and published some articles in another site. Now these articles have a lot to do with Italy, so, because I am a Italian I am going to publish these articles in my blog, that in a way has got a lot of Italian content, so, let me repeat these articles here in my blog, Genzano it story, as I am sure that most Italian emigrant would be interested.
What I am going to write in this article today, it is an issue that has been on my mind for a long time; it has been on my mind, because I was born in Italy and I feel that I am still Italian, therefore, whatever happens in Italy it affects me personally as well, and for that reason, I would like to say something about it if I can, so, I am writing this article to have my say. Anyhow, today while I am trying to finish this first article, I have become aware this I have lots of things to talk about, so there will be more than just this article, as we will explain later. 
The reason why I am writing it now and not before, it is because there are a couple of things that have happened recently and they have pushed me to write this personal article. Now, I believe that as things are today in Italy, Italy seems to have so many problems to cope with, one of which is the illegal migration from Africa and the Middle East. This illegal emigration touches me personally, because in the fifties and sixties, we Italians had to emigrate ourselves to other countries to find work, and one of this emigrant was myself.
But since then, a lot of things have changed and today the Italian people are better off; they are so much better off than then, that instead of people living Italy to find work somewhere else, they are somehow able to help other people that move to Italy illegally, even if they cannot give them some work, because even today there is not enough work for the Italians. I see that this illegal emigration could cause a problem soon. So, I wish that somebody somehow would come up with a solution, how to stop or control it to an acceptable level. You see, I believe that this uncontrolled migration could create some serious problems in the future, therefore, I feel concerned, and here I am writing them.
Anyhow, while I was looking in the news on the Internet, for any signs or any ideas that could slow this unwanted emigration down, to my dismay, instead of finding this solution how to stop the illegal emigrant coming in, in large numbers, I found in Hub Pages an article that was showing the benefit of migrating to Italy and Europe. I know that the writer was writing only his point of views, without thinking of the consequence this could eventually cause. Anyhow, to me this article seems as if the writer is encouraging other people to migrate to Italy and Europe, which I believe is not a good thing to do, as I am going to explain some of the reasons, which will be evident by the time I finish writing about my concerns. But let us leave behind this difference of opinion between me and the Hub Pages writer; because I would like to point out, what are the real problems over there, and then we will talk about some of the major issues one by one, including this article that I found in Hub Pages.
Looking at these Italian issues from far way, since I happen to be today in Australia the land  of the Kangaroos’, because I am so far away, for this reason, I imagine that I would be able to see these important issues, in a different way, and perhaps better than the people that live on the spot in Italy, because I am not directly affected by what is happening over there just now. So, let me write down my point of views, about the illegal emigrant and other things.
--------------------------------

This is a boat full of illegal emigrant people, they could be said to be lucky, because even if the boat is overloaded, it is still floating and they seem safe enough.



The illegal emigrants’ problem
Anyhow, I should say first that I am proud of what the Italians are doing these days, since what they are doing is being done on humanitarian grounds. We know that helping other people in need is the best thing that we humans could and should do, so, we should encourage this sort of behaviour all the time. But, there is a big question mark here. Could this sort of behaviour in the long run be detrimental to the helper themselves? So, let us see what this could mean.
As we have said, in Italy we have a big problem with the illegal emigrants, because there are too many of them coming in, we also believe that from what we see happening in the world, this emigration problem will continue for a long time. So, we Italian should be concerned, but not only we Italians should be concerned about that, because, I believe that also the rest of the world should be concerned about what is happening today in Italy and other part of the world as well.
Anyhow, let us continue these discussions, or point of views if you like to call them that; so, let us see what is happening in Italy, because there is some news from Italy that should concern most of us Italians, even if today, some of us like myself happen to live outside Italy, perhaps these issues should concern other people as well. My own personal point of views is that Italy today is under a strain, it has been so for a long time, because of the refugees and the illegal migrants that come to Italy every day, the last count that I have heard of, there were 156 thousand refugees this year alone, there were also over 4200 people that drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, so, the Italians and other countries as well feel that they should help them and they do, because on humanitarian grounds that needs to be done.
But, this is not all that needs to be done today, because even this drowning issue is not the main problem for the Italian people over there, because, for the last two months there have been several earthquakes in central Italy, which have damaged lots of towns, and there were near 300 victims from these earthquakes, in some of these towns there is hardly any building left standing. So, Italian people should solve these two huge problems that keep going on, one after the other, with no end in sight.
Now, in this article, I would have liked to talk about three main issues, the earthquake problems, the refugees and illegal emigrant, and last of all discuss about the article on Hub Pages that seems to encourage illegal emigrant to go to Italy, the gateway of Europe. But it looks like that this article is becoming too long already. So, I may have to write two or three articles to say what I want to say. But to conclude this article, let me talk about the earthquake and the Italian response.
----------------------------------------


This photo that we have taken from the internet, is one of the many buildings severally damaged during the earthquake.







The Italian earthquake  
Today, if we Look at what is happening in Italy, here we are talking about the earthquake and everything else, I believe that the Italian authorities are coping very well indeed, in doing what needs to be done. As most of us may have noticed in the daily news, there are too many things that the Italian authorities need to do all at the same time, while they have also so many other problems going on. Now, the Italian are not rich people, because Italy is a small country in size compared to other countries with the same population; Italy is also poor, because every now and then there are these earthquakes that destroy many towns, like what has happened just now. Some people might think that you can just rebuild again and the problem is over. But it is not so, you see every time something is destroyed, the country becomes poor because of the destruction. In Italy, there are too many mountains, so, some of this territory is not easily cultivable, but the Italians are good at finding what they could grow on some small piece of land, if they live in the mountains, and they do. They are also good at doing other things, since most of them are individual that try hard to solve their own problems. But even knowing that they can solve many problems, today they should be concerned, because there are several negative things all happening at the same time. Anyhow, now let us talk about what the Italians are doing because of the earthquake.
When earthquake like these that are happening in Italy take place and there are hundreds of dead people, and tens of thousands have their houses destroyed and become in a way refugees, usually other countries come to help, but this time there was no much help from outside Italy, and if there was any it was not mentioned much in the news. So, it seems from here that the Italian people could cope with the earthquake problem so far by themselves.
The Italian government and authorities have been quick to get involved, so, they have already promised to the people that they will rebuild the damaged houses and everything else that needs to be rebuilt, so, now it remains to be seen, if what the authorities have promised the people affected from the quake, is going to be delivered on time and to the standard that they have promised; we hope they do, for the benefit of everybody involved.  
Now, I should say that next step is going to be a critical one, because while the government is giving money to re-build, the damaged houses and everything else that needs to be rebuilt, there could be some greedy idiots that don’t care about the plight of the rest of the community that need help, so, they want a share of the government money; here I am talking about the mafia and other criminal groups, I hope that they are caught in time from the Italian authorities before they do any damage. My own personal view about them is that they are a disgrace to the Italian people that work so hard to achieve a good outcome for everybody, they should be ashamed of themselves, instead of being proud to be robbers.
Anyhow, I believe that I have said enough about the earthquake for the time being, because I would like to talk a bit about the refugees and illegal emigrants that come to Italy by thousands just about every day, which is another problem for the Italian government and we should be concerned about that, as we are going to write in our next article, that perhaps we could call, Italian concerns continued.
See you soon.
