E*******F 发帖数: 2165 | 2 According to La Repubblica daily, a group of locals ran out of one of
Palermo's supermarkets without paying.
"We have no money to pay, we have to eat," someone reportedly shouted at the
cashiers.
In other Sicilian towns, small shops owners that are still allowed to stay
open have been pressured by the locals to give them free food, Il Corriere
della Sera said.
The paper wrote of a ticking "social time bomb" in the region, which is home
to around five million people, and which has officially recorded 57 deaths
from COVID-19.
"I am afraid that concerns shared by much of the population -- about health,
income, the future -- will turn into anger and hatred if this crisis
continues," Giuseppe Provenzano, Italy's minister overseeing southern
regions, told La Repubblica. |
