The victory of the neighborhood for Baber: temporary residence permit for the migrant who cleans the park

Illegal immigrant at risk of deportation to immigrant in good standing with the documents, thanks to the solidarity of the neighborhood and to its good will. Not all stories have a happy ending, but the one that took place in the last few weeks to the gardens of via Conca del Naviglio and via Arena, two steps away from the Darsena of Milan, not only is over the best of the most optimistic forecast, but it is not a fairy tale. It is a true story of the solidarity underground, the one that has the protagonist Baber, a man with a passport of pakistan and without a residence permit, who lived who-knows-where and had started spontaneously to clean the small park close to the navigli, from the waste of the nightlife and from the dried leaves. He did it to be helpful and to fill his empty time of work because no papers. The people of the area had noticed and about a month ago he had tried to help him in all ways, both with bags to collect the garbage, and the gathering of money, food and clothes because it was not forced to beg, to make the queue at the canteen of the poor in piazza Tricolore. On the site of the Republic had picked up the story on the page Facebook of the social street Marco d Oggiono and surroundings, thanks to the signaling of the young parent pd del Municipio 1, Lorenzo Pacini. Well, thanks to the support of the neighborhood (and a little bit of thanks to the Republic) today Baber is no longer an “irregular” but has obtained the permit of stay that were waiting for so much, and was locked in for the long timing of these practices.
