The centre-right city councilors Luigi Del Giudice, Marcello Fisfola, Donatella Fracchiolla and Nino Marmo declared this in a note.
“The show we witnessed during the last City Council highlighted for the umpteenth time the superficiality and carelessness of the Giovanna Bruno Administration.
While granting the benefit of the doubt on the possible “strategic” nature of the numerous absences among the ranks of the majority, which has in fact been reduced to historic lows, we cannot leave out some political details which in our opinion are very serious.
The centre-left Administration, in fact, despite continuously preaching about putting “people” at the center of its activities, brought to the Council, with inexplicable slowness, the ratification of a Council resolution with which it is offered to over 343 very seriously disabled people who are not self-sufficient andriesi the possibility of obtaining financial support made available by the Puglia Region.
The disconcerting fact is that as early as January 2024 it would have been possible to release these funds for the benefit of our neediest fellow citizens who have seen “further” damage caused to them, just as the Social Services of Andria themselves write that, due to this shameful delay, it even pushed the Region to urge the Municipality, in March 2024, to take action as soon as possible, representing that “numerous reports have been received from very seriously disabled, non-self-sufficient people belonging to the Andria area which highlight the failure to pay the contribution. Family support “.
Practically, even though there is money, the Administration remains still and doesn’t pay!
What a shame…
Adding insult to injury, however.
Quietly, the Bruno Administration prepares a budget change to finance its Festival of Legality using the Ukrainian Social Fund Contribution.
Specifically, the Municipality of Andria, after having received a contribution of approximately 35,000 euros from the Ministry of the Interior with the aim of strengthening the offer of social services by the Municipalities hosting a significant number of people requesting the temporary protection permit, assigns approximately 7,000 euros from the Ukrainian Fund for the organization of the Festival of Legality, effectively betraying the purpose of the contribution itself.
To an explicit request for clarification posed by the City Councilor Luigi Del Giudice, neither the Mayor, nor the Councilors nor even the Majority Councilors were able or willing to respond by entrenching themselves in an embarrassed and deafening silence”, conclude Luigi Del Giudice, Marcello Fisfola, Donatella Fracchiolla and Nino Marmo .
