The mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredhe says it immediately, to avoid “false hopes”: «Tomorrow (Wednesday 22 ed.) schools reopen. I tell the kids who thought they were partying, I realize I’m very unpopular.” This is obviously if there were no further elements and no one hopes there will be. Today in Naples the schools of Municipalities 9 and 10 remained closed, the only ones in the city that fall within the Campi Flegrei, given the seismic swarm that has been underway since Monday evening. The response on schools is also to the criticism of his predecessor, the former mayor Luigi De Magistris who complained this morning: «I wonder how it is possible that the mayor of Naples does not close all the schools in the city but only in some neighborhoods».
The topic then is checks: Civil Protection, Municipalities at work. Manfredi, an engineer and former teacher of construction techniques, says: «We must avoid fake news. I heard about landslides, gas cylinder explosions, I heard incredible things. We must tell the citizens everything, but let it be true. We must avoid the speculations of those who want to harm us. I personally went to do some inspections and so far no damage has been detected”, says Manfredi. «Analyses on public structures have shown no damage. The Civil Protection teams, the technicians of the Municipality and the Metropolitan City who are carrying out the inspections have so far revealed no damage to the school structures, to sports facilities including the Maradona stadium, to the exhibition structures. No significant effect was reported anywhere.”
