Wild stop alert for the game Naples-Juventusscheduled for Friday 13 January 2023 at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium of Fuorigrotta. The big match comes after about two months of break in the Championship. But chaos broke out in the after match for the friendly Napoli-Lille of 21 December with 87 cars removed from tow trucks, between Piazzale Tecchio and the neighboring streets, and the protests of motorists against the local police suggest that the case could be repeated even in greater proportions, considering that it is a top game between two big clubs and that it is assumed that there will be a large number of visitors.
The alarm of the CSA firefighters union: “Risk of chaos”
To raise the alarm on the risk of chaos is the union of the Municipal Police Csa, who sent a note to the Mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, to the general manager, to the Councilor for Legality, Antonio De Iesu, and to the Commander Ciro Esposito. Below is the text:
Next January 13, after about two months of break in the championship, the Napoli – Juventus football match will be played at the Maradona stadium, a match very much felt by the citizens and which will almost certainly be sold out. A very strong turnout is therefore expected and the usual wild parking situation that arises every time a big event takes place at the stadium. In all the institutional forums we have strongly affirmed the need to take stock of the situation on the junction problemin order to identify operational solutions that allow overcoming the inconvenience, sometimes unsustainable, for users and workers of the Local Police.
And he continues:
The cars that are collected are put back in three different depots located respectively in via Santa Maria del Pianto, in via Murelle in San Giovanni a Teduccio and near the San Gennaro hospital in the Sanità district. To repossess the vehicle, users must go to the stations activated for the release, which in the case of football matches are the Fuorigrotta operating unit and the Uora in Via Santa Maria del Pianto. Only after having carried out this operation can they go to the depositary indicated at the time of release.
“Many inconveniences for citizens, a new plan is needed”
The union also intervenes on the inconveniences that this situation is causing to the sanctioned citizens:
Well, every time we always witness the same situation: people queuing for hours, on foot and with families in tow, pregnant women, children, the elderly, when it rains in the rain because shelter is not offered, and without toilets. Endless queues, scenes of ordinary madness, women and men subjected to a substantial kidnapping for several hours become intolerant and aggressive, resulting in situations of difficult management of public order. It has become customary in these situations to divert one or more patrols available to the Operations Center to employ them in the complicated work of containment of the users massed in front of the gates, and sometimes it is not enough, one is forced to ask for further support from the State Police .
But there are also inconveniences for the Local Police, which suffers from major staff shortages:
Most of the body’s vehicles are parked at the UORA in via Santa Maria del Pianto: in the most critical moments the cars are unable to enter and exit the fleet due to the crowd in front of the entrance. No one intends to justify wild parking, however those who have committed this offense have already had their vehicle removed, will have to pay the fine for the offense committed and the storage costs: it is therefore necessary to subject them to this tiring, nerve-wracking and labyrinthine activity punitive?
And I conclude:
The women and men of the Local Police and the citizens have welcomed the resumption of the removal service, which has been stopped for some time due to the retirements of the employees. For too many years we have felt helpless in the face of problems and the just claims of users. However, it is strongly requested that this procedure for releasing the car before recovering the car be questioned, especially during football matches and major events. As it is, it’s not good and the pits become announced and predictable. If to date there have been no injuries and serious accidents, it is only because the interchange operators have always encouraged a “buddhic” attitude in the face of threats and insults received on behalf of a planned service. We need to find a solution, and now.”
