Degradation and safety in Verona, Ferrari: «Sboarina admits failure». The reply: “Talk nonsense”
«That Mayor Sboarina speaks of decay and abandoned neighborhoods a few months after the end of his mandate is the substantial admission of the bankruptcy of its administration, which has not been able to implement that through the creation of neighborhoods and their social fabric, the creation of events and the redevelopment of abandoned areas heralded as one of the pivots of the electoral program ».
IS Tommaso Ferrari, city councilor in Verona with Milestones, to harshly criticize the words (issued on Sunday in The Arena) and the work of the mayor and his council on an issue such as that of security, which involves issues such as baby gangs, drug dealing and even home thefts and vandalism.
«Still absurd is his to solve the security problems – continues Ferrari -: clear out the abandoned buildings, install 30 cameras, ask citizens to report more what is wrong. And of course, rely on Variation 29, a leitmotiv of recent times, which is mostly composed of expressions of interest from private individuals who change their intended use for the enhancement of the areas they own but should be transformed, no one knows how, to panacea for the city’s ills. Radical solutions, which are good for buffering, but which are far short of the planning that a municipal administration should aim for.
If the problem of security is above all linked to perception, as the Mayor says, it should be the task of the Administration to reassure citizens to feel close to the institutions. If, on the other hand, it depends on the baby gangs and Covid, the eternal suspect when it comes to shirking responsibility, we can say, after four and a half years, that serious policies on young people in the city have not been seen, much less in the last two years. , when the interventions on the population more than have seen their daily life upset by the pandemic, were even more urgent.
The administration should take note – concludes the representative of the civic movement -, instead of pulling out the muscles to return to the old refrains from the electoral campaign after five years of city government ».
Piccata the reply of the mayor of Verona, Federico Sborina, to the opposition councilor: “That councilor Tommaso Ferrari cannot read is a certain fact. Just as it is now established that he has taken up the inconsistent habit of the left to talk nonsense. On safety, if he had had the patience to follow the reasoning, understood that the Municipality is concerned with urban security, which means civic dignity, and not with public safety, which compete with the Police Forces. After reiterating that crimes are falling every year in our city, I explained that urban decay, which is the responsibility of our police, is also the one used monitored with the tools available to us: cameras, evictions, urban planning for the elimination of abandoned areas. We have done a lot, the numbers say, and we will do a lot so that this aspect does not lead to a perception of insecurity in the Veronese. This is the simple advice you should understand, examples in hand, the. Instead, I notice that Tommaso Ferrari has also become the man of the propaganda commercials and not of concrete facts. I’m sorry that his apprenticeship as a public administrator has taken this turn, in my opinion he could do much more for the good of his and our community “
