“Today I have witnessed a deeply disheartening gesture: an act of vandalism that affects not only a simple object, but also the sense of respect for our community and the value that we should give to the common good. The fact occurred in the area of the” Li Comuni “Park (Pineta di Sia), sadly known for the fire of August 2021 which devastated hectares of green, leaving large and irreparable damage. Fa, on May 21, thanks to the sensitivity of the commissioner Irene Colosimo, we had installed a basket for the collection of waste and a container for canine dejection: a small but significant sign of civilization and care for the environment. Calling on the spot and I did everything possible to turn off the flames, bringing out the garbage that was on fire by throwing everything on the ground, but unfortunately the container was now compromised “. It is the complaint of the city councilor, Raffaele Serò.
“Perhaps even more bitter thing – he continued – is that from that point hundreds of cars pass every day. Yet, no one stopped. Nobody has made that small, simple gesture that could make the difference: throwing the garbage on the flames on the ground to stop the fire. A gesture that, if done even a few minutes earlier, would have avoided damage to the container, also avoiding the danger of a new fire, like that of 2021. More than our land.
