Viterbo – “Ours was an absolutely normal reaction, because we were in tension for a month.” The prefect Gennaro Capo responds to the rain of criticism on the Facebook page Municipality of Viterbo informs. Comments where several people have stigmatized the choice of uncorking a bottle of sparkling wine at the end of the clean-up operations and posting everything on social media before returning to their homes.
Viterbo – The prefect Gennaro Capo and the mayor Chiara Frontini
“Ours was an absolutely normal reaction – said the prefect, taking on the burden of answering the journalists’ question during the press conference, called yesterday afternoon in the operations center of the Red Cross in Strada Mammagialla, with the mayor Chiara Frontini present -, because we were in tension for a month. So when they gave us the news that the bomb had been defused and there was no longer any danger to people, the most natural thing was to open a bottle of sparkling wine. To share this moment of joy. This was the real atmosphere of that moment. Nothing more, and we didn’t want to diminish the importance of the event.”
Viterbo – Mayor Frontini toasts for the defusing of the bomb and citizens are furious and indignant
Not only that, “but those comments – Gennaro Capo then specified – arrived at a time when we were emptying the structure that had been organized by the Red Cross in the air force base. To be able to carry out this eviction in a calm manner, there was no other way than to wait to give the green light to return home. Because we would have risked endless queues of people wanting to return. And for us the absolute priority was the most fragile people.”
