Insolvent debtors, who are denied mortgages and loans, customers who do not pay, lack of liquidity, liabilities that become overwhelming. These and other reasons that often push traders and entrepreneurs to make an unhealthy gesture. Today it happened again. Two more cases of suicides triggered in some way by the economic crisis. In Noventa di Piave, in the province of Venice, and in Taranto. entrepreneurs a 60-year-old carpenter hanged himself. Not that the craftsman didn't work, but his problem had become payments. ''He told me that the companies didn't pay him, that he had a lot of money left over and that he feared not being able to pay the two workers.
He has always been a good, honest person. For him this situation Find List had become an obsession'', the words of the owner of the workshop, next to the carpentry shop, collected by Il Gazzettino. ''It is scandalous that a new 'figure of failure' has been born. Once upon a time the bankrupt was the one who had the debts, today they are the ones with the credits'', commented Luca Zaia, governor of Veneto, regarding the tragedy. What pushed the Taranto businessman to suicide was instead a dispute with a bank, which had opposed the granting of a loan of 1300 euros which he needed to pay for a supply.
Furthermore, he had been charged, perhaps by mistake, 4,500 euros in bank commissions. The man could not withstand the blow and killed himself by hanging himself from a tree. The tragedy was discovered by one of his three children, alarmed by his father's failure to return home. Two very similar deaths of the two Italian traders. Two cases that add to the over two thousand that since 2008 have rubbed salt into the ever-open wound of suicides caused by the crisis. To remember them this evening, the Invisible Small Entrepreneurs Committee (Co.pii), founded by the entrepreneur Giuseppina Virgili who in 2009 provocatively put her organs up for sale to try to save her company from bankruptcy, organized a candlelight procession in Milan, Florence and Turin .
