“Yet another concrete pour, yet another, in this city. This time, it’s Bisconte’s turn, where the Basile administration wants to build 126 homes as part of the redevelopment of the most run-down areas of the city.” Finger pointing from the Mixed Group councilor Cosimo Oteri after the latest announcement from the deputy mayor Salvatore Mondello.
“From press reports I learn that in the houses that will be built in an area where there are no escape routes, Up to 696 people will be able to live there – urges Oteri. A real madness. Indeed, the madness is twofold: on the one hand, further overbuilding of the territory, with all the risks that this entails, on the other, a death trap in the event of a natural disaster, given that in fact in Bisconte there are no adequate escape routes in case of danger. I suggest to councilor Mondello that he leave the city center and go into the area even now that the electoral campaigns are over, so as to realize the real needs of the people of Messina, starting with those of security. Inexplicably, despite the critical issues also highlighted by geologists, it was chosen to build near a streamperhaps because the tragedies of the past were not enough. And don’t say that a kindergarten and a bit of greenery with a volleyball court and two bowls courts won’t create a new ghetto in a complex area of our city and far from the centre, because this statement of yours is further confirmation of what Mondello knows little about Messina, the people of Messina and their denied rights”.
