He met with the school principals, carried out and completed school building works such as the remodeling of the flooring of the gymnasium of the Baldassarre school, the replacement of the waterproofing sheath present on the flat roof of the Montessori and D’Annunzio schools, the renovation of the thermal power plant of the D’Annunzio School, maintenance of buildings, boilers and elevators in the school complexes.
There is also a lot of state funding received for energy efficiency works and never carried out by the current department (by the way, what happened to the money?); ditto for technical-economic feasibility and safety projects. Trees were planted in the school gardens, the Pozzopiano bottleneck was opened after the convocation of the neighborhood committee, the process for the suppression of the level crossing in via Corato was opened, the public housing units in via Grecia were delivered before they were occupied by squatters, opened the second entrance to the cemetery.
Today, however, the trees continue to fall with defense at the expense of and to the detriment of children, the greenery languishes, the roads collapse, the schools fall to pieces, but there is no danger, the municipal leaders assure. The De Bello has been abandoned for years and at risk of collapse, but the kids train, in the Papa Giovanni, always at risk of collapse, homeless families live; ditto for the fruit and vegetable market, the cemetery has become a graveyard.
Yet despite the degradation there are those among the local administrators who are always ready to “put the color down” and make the citizens believe that everything is fine. We cannot continue to move forward with posts and followers for the purposes of the electoral campaign.
Initiatives for special children are welcome, but without consensus following. Doesn’t Azione Trani agree with the exclusion from the projects of some associations with the same aim and interests, perhaps because they are not aligned with the branch councillor? And what about the rain of money recently given to the same association in exchange for posts in its defense or in its favour?
The competent councilor even takes the trouble to write posts to reassure the children’s parents, supported by some managers who are part of the “system”, forgetting that the tree falling at the Dell’Olio school occurred on a Sunday and the children were not playing under the tree or some passerby passed by. What if it happened during the week?
The councilor would do well to keep quiet and not boast about ordinary administration services by passing them off as extraordinary, to avoid taking continuous showman photos in search of consensus in view of the next elections. Not to approach with arrogance if you are not an integral part of his entourage. Maybe he forgets that the citizens don’t have nose rings and that they notice everything. It is also true that the mayor who can’t wait to escape from the Palace before the Bari bomb explodes also in the STP in Trani, allows him to play at being mayor “after us” or to wear that tricolor sash to which he aspires so much by relying on the social. He doesn’t play on the skin of citizens.”
