«I express on my behalf and that of the municipal administration the firmest and most indignant condemnation for the very serious act of intimidation perpetrated against the construction site of the Lattughelle irrigation system, whose pipes were damaged by gunshots, for what is the third disturbing act of damage recorded in less than twenty days resulting, this time, in real intimidation».
This is what the mayor of Cassano allo Ionio, Gianpaolo Iacobini, states in a note.
«Whoever thinks of stopping the development of our territory with violence – continues the mayor – has miscalculated. Hitting a strategic work means hitting farmers, work, the economy and the future of Cassano All’Ionio. These are gestures that deserve the strongest condemnation and to which we must all respond firmly.” «I express solidarity with the Reclamation Consortium, with the company in charge of the interventions and, above all, with the Lettuce farmers. We trust in the work of the police and the judiciary to ensure that those responsible are identified and punished. To those who try to sow fear we respond with one word: legality.”
