“That the Fiorita administration uses an iron fist with the “weak” while ignoring the “strong” is now evident to all the citizens of Catanzaro, forced to live with situations of total anarchy on a daily basis: illegal commercial activity thrives in every neighborhood from north to south of the city, with record peaks on the seafront, traffic and urban decay not monitored or sanctioned, not to mention the hundreds of demolition orders, many of which issued by the judicial authority, which remain closed in dusty drawers out of cowardice or lack of respect for legality on the part of those who should carry them out”.
Eugenio Riccio, leader of the Lega Salvini Premier group in the Municipality of Catanzaro, wrote this in a note.
“Easy, then, for Mayor Fiorita to implement ridiculous bans that are difficult to enforce. The latest pearl, in chronological order, is the recent “bathing ordinance” which, in addition to not being in line on some fundamental aspects relating to “bathing” with that issued by the Port Authority of Soverato (serious omission or oversight? ), imposes disconcerting bans.
For example, the smoking ban on the beach. While this may seem like a good initiative, we wonder how it will be enforced. We dare to imagine the presence on our beaches of the iron-fisted councilor in charge of safety, Marinella Giordano, who will give up her summer stay in Caminia ready to fine every smoker. Mayor Fiorita also imposed the ban on sales and trade on the beachhitting the famous “vu cumprà” (so much for Lucano and social inclusion).
Ridiculous, considering that no one enforces this ban on the seafront, let alone on the beach. But the culmination is reached with the “categorical and imperative for all” ban on carrying i dogs on the beachwith Fiorita & company putting themselves on a par with the “hierarchs and mayors” of the infamous twenty years.
Given that there is no state law that prohibits bringing your pet to the beach, we wonder why there is so much hatred towards our four-legged friends. What’s the problem if the owners keep them under the umbrella with all precautions? And what is the logic of confining owners and fur babies to a few square meters of beach in Giovino close to a rainwater collection channel where the ordinance of the Soverato harbor office provides for a ban on bathing?
This umpteenth “pearl” is probably the work of the councilor for animal protection, Nunzio Belcaro, who, worried about the lack of protective creams for our four-legged friends, will have spent too much to impose this ban. Practically a series of bans that seem to come out of a Walt Disney cartoon rather than from a serious administration that respects pet rights.
An ordinance that absolutely needs to be reviewed with common sense and reason, because it is probably illegitimate as it does not provide for the extent of the sanctions for violators and the reasons that led to the ban. An ordinance that will remove holidaymakers from Lido – already not many – who in past years have never had problems bringing their dogs to the beach.
For this reason we invite Mayor Fiorita, if not engaged in some boat excursion, between a glass of champagne and a Lucanian amaro, to find the time to take a tour of the free beaches of his beloved Soverato, where dogs are welcome and they contribute, thanks to their owners, to increasing tourist flows in the pearl of the Ionian Sea”.
