05 September 2019Mimmo Lucano arrived in Riace after the revocation of the ban on residence ordered by the Court of Locri. The former mayor, who was accompanied by one of his defenders, the lawyer Andrea Daqua, was welcomed by a few dozen people, including a group of refugees who remained in the village. "I am happy - said Lucano - to be back in Riace. First of all I will go to see my father, who is still ill. I intend to continue to do good and to help those who arrive in Riace as a refugee".
Lucano also reported that he intended to sleep tonight in his home. "I have to check, however - he said - if the house is usable because last winter it suffered damage due to some rain infiltrations. These are problems, however, which take a back seat compared to the joy of finally being back in my Riace. , a place that I adore and that represents my whole life ".
The Calabrian center had risen to be a model of reception until the Xenia operation, which sees Lucano accused precisely for managing the reception of migrants. Lucano, who at first ended up under house arrest and then removed from Riace with the prohibition of residence, today returned to his home and embraced his sick father. The former mayor, who had run for municipal council in the last elections, but who was rejected at the polls, also took a walk in the village.
