Naples, 15-day ultimatum to leave hotels to bradyseism evacuees

Naples – A shadow of uncertainty and desperation envelops the approximately 600 displaced people of Bagnoli, struck by the bradyseismic tremors of March.

The ultimatum is peremptory: within two weeks, they will have to leave the hotel facilities that have temporarily hosted them. The communication, which came like a bolt from the blue, has thrown entire families into despair, already tried by the loss of their homes.

Yesterday morning they were all notified that from April 30th they will have to leave the facilities where they are hosted and invited to fill out a form for a contribution for independent accommodation. Reason? The available funds have run out.

.The contribution, expected for a maximum of six months for families with homes declared uninhabitable, does not seem like an adequate solution for many. And since yesterday, protests have been mounting on social media: "We don't want the contribution, we want to return to our homes."

Paradoxical situation, the same one experienced by the displaced people of Vele

The situation is dramatic, with families struggling to find alternative accommodation due to high rents and lack of time. A paradoxical situation already experienced by evacuees of the Vele di Scampia “Without guarantees, it is impossible to find a home.”

Many displaced people complain about inconsistencies in the form for the contribution, which requires them to declare that they are not hosted in hotel facilities, a condition that does not correspond to their current situation. The Municipality of Naples, in a note, clarified that the two measures are not mutually exclusive, but that the amount of the contribution will be reduced based on the days of stay in the hotel.

Of course, as you can well imagine, it is not easy to find accommodation in a short time, and the subsidy is reduced, even though these families have been placed in hotels by the municipal authorities.

The situation of the displaced people of Bagnoli remains critical, with an uncertain future and the need for immediate and sustainable housing solutions.
