«While Barletta falls to pieces cannito installs war planes»

«While in Barletta there is yet another case of a tree branch falling in via Vitrani, fortunately with no damage to people. While our squares, with attached play areas for children, are increasingly in a state of decay and abandonment. While many citizens complain about the ancestral lack of pedestrian crossings and the terrible conditions of the asphalt. While the Barletta construction sites, proclamations aside, are still awaiting completion. While the coastlines of a “tourist” city are in a terrible state, with the bathing season now underway. Today in Barletta a military aircraft was installed on the roundabout between via Violante and via Foggia, acquired by the Cannito administration in February 2021″. Thus the territorial representative of the 5 Star Movement, Luca Savella.

«It seems that, forgetting the real needs and inconveniences that the citizens of Barletta experience on a daily basis, our administration finds the time to acquire and install a war plane, in a historical period in which threats of a world war are increasingly concrete. It would have been nice to imagine the installation of a flag of peace, less expensive and with a stronger message, in a country, Italy, which sees article 11 of its Constitution read: “Italy repudiates war as an instrument of offending the freedom of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes”. The 5 Star Movement has chosen to write the word “peace” in its symbol, not as an exercise in electoral campaign style, but as a value to believe in every day, making a concrete commitment to achieving it. That plane does not represent the city of Barletta in any way. If this were not enough, the questionable choice of positioning it on a Saturday with the weekly market in progress and at a peak time should be highlighted… as if our city didn’t already have major problems with vehicular traffic. We ask the administration to commit to something more useful and concrete for the citizens of Barletta, respecting the true symbols of our culture and our city.”
