Vi racconto una storia | Letizia Giorgianni | TEDxSiena


[Music]

good morning everyone is an honor for me

among other things being the first to speak

so an honor and a responsibility e

lately I’m responsible

happen quite as carolina said

with that call begins a journey

a path that is generated by a

very negative event for some

even tragic but then for one

strange and fantastic coincidence of things

and meetings feed instead of

anger and resignation with

determination of strength and courage

it all starts with that call where

both me but also thousands of

savers are warned that i

their savings

there are no more of this story there

you will have heard everyone talk of course

tv newspapers

television broadcasts however sometimes a

river full of information ago

lose the compass and then today they are

here to tell you the story from

another perspective from perspective

whose history has lived on it

own skin

let’s say that after the first and moment

initial loss with the meetings

opportune and born a facebook group

everything is born from there it was called victims

I can already find the bank savers with this one

I write myself too

and that thing happens I told you

before instead of only the

resignation

let’s try to put others into play

forces and we organize ourselves

indeed we are also a bit authoritarian because

let’s get everyone out of the group

that vent and just complain and

they say they are desperate because the

despair must always generate

something else is just and

we simply make a statement

step back

before then before zeroing

of the four banks because mine

association represents savers

of the first four banks went and

resolution

no bank had ever failed and little

we knew about the budgets of these institutions

least of all we knew the new one

European directive in

topic of bank bailouts for

this obviously the ship has sunk

with all the savers because the

Government had decided to anticipate

even this provision

European bail in which it provides no more

external rescues with the help of the

status not internal saving using

therefore the assets invested up to

savers’ current accounts

we decide to organize ourselves, we said

I appoint a coordinator for each zone i

institutes are four and they are all of the

central Italy, however, represent

important geographical distances after two

weeks I can organize the first one

manifestation in the square we are in Rome there

We know housewives small employees

retired business people distant people

light years from the alchemies of finance

from stock stunts

and to think that they called us

speculators understand that something

it was hardly just unfair

happened to the newspapers still do not speak

of us we try to this point of

organize ourselves with press offices then

even my job

let’s do a real office

We try to inform the press

journalists of what had happened

at the beginning only i are informed

economic newspapers of course which

they knew well about this directive

European bail but certainly not

they knew and could not imagine a

Which

investors to whom savers

had been intended is here the

problem here is where the scam starts later

the first event we try to

give us a calendar then an event

unexpected the first pensioner that yes

suicide was a bank saver

etruria wake up all the

televisions start not following us

we become the main container of

all transmissions especially those

in the morning but also those of

deepening of the evening

anxiety and anger and despair of

who had lost everything because

I personally think I am

a privileged in this because I have

I lost my mom, too, some money

I lost 100 thousand euros

but it was not all the capital I had

some people have really lost

everything and all their savings e

try to imagine what it means to have

lived an entire existence put by

leave for a child for a relative for

old age and wake up one morning and

know that there is nothing left

look at that in these titles that are

been bought there was not written

subordinated bond was not there

written the risk was not written

anything

it’s a big scam started

from the managers of these banks and endorsed

then unfortunately also from those who

they had to protect from the government from

consob and from bank of italy lo

buck that we are living in

these days is just something that we

we announced two and a half years ago

when people still did not know renzi

after the former premier after course

that we managed to ride all the

TV broadcasts we managed to

go out into newspapers and run for cover

he says that without his decree it would be

erupted armageddon and that would be

go to the employees of the banks

in reality then the same happened

in reality we wanted to use these

savers like laboratory guinea pigs

but we realize it

if we had not taken to the streets if not there

we were organized if we were not

went to speak with the top management

of our zero bank of Italy e

consob the ft of the interbank fund

the minister padoan

here we were talking to

all these representatives

institutional and we understood one thing

thing that can not be understood either

through a newspaper because maybe it’s a

newspaper of part maybe a newspaper that

he does not really say things as they are

went and we understood simply

that this decree had been made with

superficiality that this decree was

deeply wrong because then

it will create a chain effect that we are going

experiencing

people have disinvested from the banks

for fear

obviously being zeroed like us and

started this long crisis that

we are still living and that is not alone

an economic crisis I’ll explain what it is

I can not see the timer because I am

dazzled by light but I hope to have them

still time is what happened

and this since 2013 the banks have

started to have big problems

for the bad management of these of this

cda of these administrators then it is

success that they have practically given

the order in some way to sell

these bonds to a granular public

as a result of our complaints they are

inspections have been carried out inside

of these institutions and has been found

a letter especially to etruria bank

where practically the managers

they forced because if you get to one

higher is a requirement to sell this

type of bonds that recapitalises

in some way the bank because

institutional investors obviously

they were given legs tied up

raised to public retail to you too

there were customers and if so

you obviously trusted the banking of

trust when we realized

this we had the awareness

this is a fundamental word the

awareness of what it was

success and from awareness is

match the appropriate communication

also supported at that point by

economic newspapers, not just Italian but

also foreign because we have been new

times we have been funded

we were all journalists for

explain what happened and many

foreign journalists were amazed

because at least in some nations

it was unthinkable that a saver

as common as we were that one

retired could have in the hands of the

products so risky damage in Italy

a problem that affects many banks

let’s just tell the truth that these

banks have had the misfortune to have

the wrong administrators

what this story teaches frankly

after two years I ask myself too

what was the result of one

battle that took away from us but has me

free time money free time because

I have done a bit in 2 and a half years

tour of all these banks from Ferrara

from brands trying to understand trying

to really give it right

communication and I answer in this

the result we have

obtained is not just the repayment that as well

we got for the bondholders

especially the weaker and

arbitration for those who had a

higher income is not just state

this without our protest anyway

there would not even be this

and the suicides were many more than

those that have been announced to us

we are in contact with all families

the result is not a jump this is

was to understand that thanks to

awareness not staying in the

surface we can see a world

different and to have the right motivation

that does not only push us into the

resignation

when each of us knows that we are in the

just really has the strength and the

will to fight and this is the

little miracle

that we have fought

against absolutely bigger forces

yet we have somehow

also affected them

[Applause]
