Genoa, Autostrade banner at the arrival of the Giro d’Italia. Relatives of the victims of the Morandi bridge: “Stunned, they do not wash their conscience”
“Many citizens are writing to us that they are stunnedAnd we are too“. Thus, in a post on Facebook, the Committee of relatives of the victims of the Morandi bridge Expressed bewilderment by the advertising banner of Highways present Thursday in via XX Settembre, the main street in the center of Genoa, on the occasion of the arrival in the city of the 12th stage of the Tour of Italy (of which the dealership is one of the sponsors). “We don’t want to make a controversy and we never did, but dear gentlemen, this it could absolutely be avoided or not? ”Is the rhetorical question. The family members of the 43 people who died in the disaster – which took place under the management of Aspi, which together with the subsidiary Spea recently negotiated with 30 million euros exiting the process – were already said to be opposed to the (unusual) choice of passing the Giro on the motorway viaduct “Genova San Giorgio”, built in place of the collapsed one: “This new bridge represents the testimony pale of our tragedy, it does not represent the great pride we have heard so much about, it also represents the remembrance of what should have been done to avoid the shame of the collapse. So we thank you very much for the idea but we think the passage cannot be a tribute to the victims “.
The press office of Autostrade per l’Italia (which has just returned to public hands after the transfer of 88% of the capital to a consortium headed by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti) expresses “ramario“For reading the data on the billboard and stresses that he did not want”bump sensitivity anyone “. The initiative, explains the company, “is of interest all tips del Giro, from north to south Italy “and is part of a campaign launched over ten years ago at a national level to raise awareness of rules of correct driving, a campaign that is revived every year. “Yesterday was a great celebration for the city, for us it was another day that left a bad taste in the mouth”, replied the president of the Committee on relatives of the victims on Friday. Egle Possetti. “They also flooded the city of Genoa with banners with their logo, without even thinking that perhaps in that city, in victims of respect, their relatives and all Genoese citizens this could have been avoided. It is not enough to become a sponsor of an event for wash your conscience and the banners with their logo, in our opinion, do not “sensitize motorists to correct driving”, as they claim. For us – conclude – words are not enough to change pace, you need facts “.
