“We learn with disdain and profound concern the news of the stake, probably of malicious origin, which hit an excavator in the construction site of the Santa Trada torrent in Villa San Giovanni. It is a very serious gesture, which not only damages a public good, but represents an attack unacceptable to the legality and safety of the territory”. This was stated in a note by the mayor of the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria Giuseppe Falcomatà. “I express full solidarity with the mayor Giusy Caminiti, to his administration and the entire community of Villa San Giovanni, who in these hours demonstrates, once again, great strength and cohesion in the face of episodes of unprecedented violence. The words of Mayor Caminiti, full of indignation but also of trust in the institutions, are the best response to those who believe they can intimidate a community with criminal acts”.
“The metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria is alongside Villa San Giovanni in this difficult moment and with conviction the work of the police and investigators conviction, so that the managers are identified and brought to the face of justice.
We must react firmly to these episodes, strengthening the collaboration between institutions and citizens even more. Villa San Giovanni is a laborious and proud community, which will not be intimidated by those who try to undermine their serenity and progress. Together, we will demonstrate once again that the response to violence is more units, more civil commitment and more trust in our ability to build a better future “.
