“Vili unknown have stolen the gushes of a fountain in Piazza Loreto, which immediately we have, however, already restored also as a warning to this gentaglia to whom I say firmly that Cosenzauntil it is guided by my administration, will not bend and react with extreme determination “.
Is a Franz Caruso Visibly indignant what is expressed a few hours after yet another act of incivility against a public good in the city. The recently arranged fountain has been the subject of theft and damage, a gesture that triggered the very hard reaction of the first citizen.
“These are the same fountains that – continues the mayor – also following the requests coming from my fellow citizens, I have arranged after more than ten years, personally following their structural and functional recovery. But what taste is there to deface, ruin, destroy the public good, rubbing the very image of the city?”.
A spiral of incivility that does not stop
Caruso does not stop at the only denunciation of the gesture, but inserts the incident in a wider picture of recurring episodes: “In front of these acts, of an incredible barbarism, I am estimated, and the anger and indignation that I feel and that they should try all the Cosentini is indescribable. But how it is possible, what is happening to our social fabric in order to be able, so incessantly, now almost daily, to record so much ignoble. widespread? “
The first citizen quotes a real blacklist of recent damage: from the wild cut of urban trees, to the scarred to the murals of Sergio Cosmaiup to the games torn to Piero Romeo park and to the episodes recorded in Wellness park.
“A cultural crisis to face together”
The mayor decisively rejects the idea that we can only speak of lack of control: “In no case can it be demerged for a possible deficiency of control and absence of video surveillance, because we should otherwise militarize the city and it is not possible. We are in front, instead, to one question of cultural crisis And we must all be aware of it to face and solve it. “
Caruso calls the entire community from Cosenza: “We must do it together, all public and private institutions and bodies, voluntary associations and all the healthy forces of the city”.
“Fight united against this cultural and social crisis – he concludes – It is a duty that must see us all committed, certainly to protect and safeguarding our historical/artistic, environmental and social heritage, but above all to protect our future, which cannot be undermined by this incivility and rudeness that is now increasingly contemptuous and arrogant “.
