Naples – “You will always be with us” – Friday 31 January at 19,30 pm demonstration in Secondigliano to ask for justice for the death of Patrizio Spasiano.
The pain over the death of Patrizio Spasiano, the 19 year old who lost his life following an ammonia leak during an extraordinary maintenance operation that took place inside a factory, Frigocaserta srl in Gricignano from Aversa.
But it is also the thirst for justice of family members and friends who on Friday 31 January will give life to a demonstration that will start at 19:30 pm from the Church of Cristo Re in Secondigliano.
“Patrì, you will always be with us” – is the writing that stands out next to his photo on a t-shirt made by the 19-year-old’s friends.
Despite those words to pay homage to his lifelong friend, the boy's absence in the family is felt and his old room is a place of memories, a museum of relics, the room of those objects that belonged to Patrizio that try to fill an unfillable void.
Especially for the mother who, visibly affected and moved, recounted the last moments of her son's life: "He was like a human ember, his skin was completely blackened and his nose was almost completely consumed. But he had one eye open as if to let me know that he had heard my calls during the accident. The thing that struck me most was his expression, a shocked expression as if he had been taken by surprise"
Also taking part in the march for justice will be the Green-Sinistra alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli who once again gave voice to the cry of pain of the Spasiano family and brought them comfort.
“Dead for 500 euros a month” - comments the MP - “This was the amount that Patrizio earned as an intern. Dead because he was exploited. Dead because he was sent to the front line without adequate safety measures.
So on Friday it is a duty, it is morally obligatory, for all citizens to take part in the demonstration. To give comfort, to show closeness to this family destroyed by pain, but also to stop the massacres at work, to stop the slaughter of very young people. The louder the cry for justice, the less they will be able to pretend not to listen to us. Come everyone!”

I believe that Friday's demonstration will be an important moment to remember Patrizio. His story makes us reflect on the issue of safety at work that is too often overlooked. We hope there will be a lot of participation.
