«The employment contracts of 321 Calabrian temporary workers from the Ministry of Culture will expire on November 25th. Without an extension, several museums and archaeological sites in our region risk paralysis. To avoid this scenario, I had asked the Government for an extension of the contracts until at least December 31st, but my proposal was rejected.”
The parliamentarian of the 5 Star Movement, Riccardo Tucci, declared this in a note. «It is a serious matter – continues the M5S deputy – which demonstrates all the guilty indifference and short-sightedness of the centre-right. Depriving cultural assets of their personnel means compromising a strategic lever for the development of the territory. And it will be completely useless to spend millions of euros on lavish marketing campaigns if our sites remain closed due to staff shortages. Other than extraordinary Calabria. The temporary workers who will be sent home are currently serving in the garrisons of Vibo Valentia, Mileto, Crotone, Lamezia Terme, Locri, Roccelletta di Borgia, Catanzaro, Reggio Calabria, Cosenza and Sibari”. «I therefore make a final appeal to the centre-right Calabrian parliamentarians – concludes Tucci – to reconsider my extension proposal and concretely commit to the next Budget Law for the stabilization of these workers».
