Letter to the Senator published
from Active Citizenship 2. December 2004.
Dear Senator, I write in merit to some amendments, gir
introduced in Financial institution to the ROOM and withdrawn
in last date 19, that they regard l' slot-machine
introduction all' inside of Knows them Bingo
and to the worries that such amendments, introduced to
the SENATE and currently object of 5^ the Commission Budget,
if approved of would involve for the collettivita'. Cittadinanzattiva,
as It very knows, e' un' civic organization that they
give beyond 25 years strikes for the protection of the
rights of the citizens and for l' widening of the civic
participation; this to our has lead us mission to occupy
us during the last few years of Knows them Bingo
and of the problems correlated to the presence of these
structures in the city, civil and social woven one of
ours citta'. In these various years civic Committees,
spontaneously been born to protection of the qualita'
of the life of the quarters and the territories, they
have been leaned to Cittadinanzattiva in order to contrast
the phenomena that these knows has involved they. We learn
from a letter of the Association of the Bingo Concessionaires,
to company of the President the LUCK, of a demand, to
the President of the Commission Budget of reflection and
consideration with respect to the state of health of knows
them Bingo, thought from Same a field
too many times forgotten and often contrasted, it puts
into effect considered it them impossibilitr to install
all' inside of knows them the ill-famed ones and, beloveds
to all, SLOT MACHINE. Many are our worries.
We believe profit to point out of shortly some. From when
these Know them Bingo have been opened
thousands of citizens, in all the national territory,
they have begun to mobilize itself in spontaneous way
against those which they are the effects visible and more
directly harmful: degradation of the social life of the
quarters where it knows to them is located them, increase
of the criminal phenomena in prossimitr of these knows
them, insecurity diffused in the territory legacy to the
presence of the game in object. To cin the fact, not negligible
joins, than many of the " promesse" of greater
workplaces they hide in realta' a new diffused precariato
form of; that the " favolosi" gain that Knows
them Bingo to them had promised, also
for the State-player, in realta' they have been translate
in sonorous flop and economic disasters (we think knows
well that many Know them Bingo are sluices, they are being
reconverted in other or they are passages in hand to other
managers). Moreover from data found from independent institutes
like " Infoazzardo" , shop for the protection
of the player prepared from the Municipality of Rome,
of at a distance single three months dall' opening of
Knows them Bingo characterized in 3%
of the players of Bingo a ludopatia presence; or, from
surveyings still carried out from some ASL on juvenile
population (in particular ASL 6 of Livorno), evidenced
worrisome percentages approximately the dependency from
the game d' hazard which c also the Bingo; and still from
nourished report one finds as in last the three years
the phenomenon of the game has produced of the elements
hard social alarm and of emergency. The worry increases
also in stating that many of these Know are located them
in prossimita' of plessi you drained to us. Without wanting
to make of the easy moralismo we think that such location
is at least incautious for the protection of the minor
and its complete development. Not last, at last, the worry
approximately the information that reach in particular
from various national and international press approximately
under way surveyings from the Italian magistracy (Turin,
but also in others citta'.) and foreign on some present
companies of the game in Italy and on theirs presumed
logons with criminal organizations Moreover l' altola'
demanded from Mr. National Procuratore the Antimafia Pier
Luigi VINE to multiplying itself of games lawyers, than
second the same one they could end with l' to increase
the ricoso to the illegal loan. All to these induce us
elements to the maximum one secure on the choices to take
in game matter d' hazard. We are aware that the phenomenon
must be governed and restricted, but also that the regulation
and the government of this matter pun not to only pass
through the involvement of subjects that have part interests.
For this reason, the light of the exposed elements of
worry over, we ask to Them in primis a decidedly contrary
ballot all' amendment that the possibilitr previews to
introduce the Slot Machine all' inside
of Knows them bingo, and formally an
encounter in which to deepen the topics over exposed and
to start a shared distance that prescribed servant on
the matter also from the point of view of the citizens.
Waiting for a its ready answer, the porgiamo faithfully
yours . |
