In the summer of citizens rushing to obtain the one-euro-a-day solidarity card, there is also the sad story of those attempting suicide because they have lost their citizen's income.
It happened along the tracks of the railway line that runs from Baronissi in the province of Salerno leads to Fisciano. the story is told today by the Neapolitan edition of Repubblica.
A 55-year-old woman was hit by a regional train after lying on the tracks. But the living space under the train and the skill of the driver who managed to brake prevented the woman from dying.
She suffered a head injury, a suspected fracture to her left forearm and bruises. She is hospitalized in serious conditions at the hospital in Salerno but her life is not in danger.
He had organized everything down to the smallest detail. In a farewell letter, found by the Polfer in a backpack next to the tracks, the reason for the terrible gesture.
She told the 118 doctor who helped her that she wanted to commit suicide because “from one day to the next she lost her citizen's income, she had nothing to live on and no office could help her. That was her only source of income. Alone, after going round so many counters, she had this strong attack of depressive crisis”.
“Poverty is an emergency that the State must address quickly and well”, he writes today on his Facebook page, Gianfranco Valiante , mayor of Baronissi commenting on the near tragedy.
