“It is worth saying this time that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ and that ‘the patch is worse than the hole’: at the regional Citadel, over 130 fixtures have been sealed along the corridors of the various departments, putting a Spartan device operates, completed in the last week of December, away from prying eyes and made with steel screws that make it impossible to open”.
The condemnation of the union leader of the CSA-Cisal, Gianluca Tedesco, who expressed disdain, was harsh: “This is a senseless act, an action that defaces the public heritage of the Calabria Region and which will require a demanding and urgent intervention of significant importance also economical, for restoration purposes. Previously, on several occasions, the union had underlined the dangerous situation represented by the presence of inadequate windows, because they were unsafe, as they were tied with makeshift cables such as those of PCs or packaging for fear that they could fall and cause damage to people and/or things. Certainly, after the repair of the windows, we would not have expected them to be completely sealed, with the adoption of a solution which, rather than solving the reported problem, considerably aggravates it and even compromises the functionality of the latter”.
“We are talking – added Tedesco – about an action that causes significant damage to a public good that was only inaugurated in 2016 and, far from any imagination, we could never have thought that someone could decide to seal them completely with these inadequate methods. and unusual. It is a disturbing, deplorable and alarming scenario and it is not possible to understand the message you want to get across, also because those steel screws will cause permanent damage to the fixtures, given that the signs of the holes caused will be permanently visible (*SEE PHOTO*) . The architects of this intervention will have to find adequate justifications for all the workers of the regional council who are forced not to have their original function guaranteed, i.e. the opening of the windows”.
“Dismayed by this gesture, we condemn with the utmost firmness the action taken – concludes the union leader – and we renew our invitation to care, respect and safeguard the building of the regional Citadel in its entirety; we expect that all the fixtures will soon be restored, thus leaving their original function and intended use of the property unchanged. Alternatively, we will be forced to appeal to the competent authorities in order to preserve the public good.”
