Tarcento: the words of the director Andrea Premoselli
Councilor Prisciano, who raised numerous criticisms, he decided to explain the story. According to his tale:
The majority of Mayor Steccati has decided to reject the motions with which the opposition asked to allocate the vacant municipal buildings for the reception of Ukrainian refugees.
In light of this came the reply Of Andrea Premosellicouncilor of the Brothers of Italy who gave his own explanation:
Given that all of us are certainly in favor of helping Ukrainian refugees, we simply did not consider it correct to place a generic “omnibus” constraint of non-alienation and use on every municipal property as provocatively proposed by minorities, and this also because, as explained very well by the Mayor Steccati, some of the apartments mentioned, to be used require substantial and long restoration work and then the furnishings (we are talking about several tens of thousands of euros) as well as a long time for their eventual realization. We have therefore voted against these motions for these reasons and for nothing else, no controversy is raised about tragedies like these. Tarcento will certainly do its part as we have always done in the face of any emergency.
