One of the objectives that the Municipal Administration of Trani has set itself is to make public buildings and urban spaces more accessible through concrete actions, with particular attention to those in a condition of permanent or temporary disability, the OCABA ( Municipal Observatory for the removal of architectural barriers), established in 2017 with resolution 28 of the Municipal Council, is the consultative body responsible for this purpose which functions thanks to its regulations which provides for the figure of the PA (Promoter of accessibility) which since 2017 has been in the hands of Gennaro Palmieri, president of the local section of the UILDM, who has always been active in safeguarding the rights of the disabled, a commitment which we specify is totally free. Indeed, Gennaro Palmieri’s resignation from the role he has held since the establishment of the role did not go unnoticed, published with a large post on his Facebook profile. It was a resignation that did not go unnoticed due to its content, in particular, in an initial passage, the resignation letter is addressed to Mayor Amedeo Bottaro, Gennaro Palmieri wrote, among other things: “I have sensed in these past years that everything converged in a waste of time, in a big mockery, a clown and finally allow me, an unfair machination on the part of arrogant and presumptuous administrators who have achieved these powers thanks to the His permissiveness and for political decisions inter nos”. We asked the lawyer. Fabrizio Ferrante to comment on Gennaro Palmieri’s statements, to take stock of the OCABA situation which has seen the appointment, in the general positive consideration of the choice, of a new PA in the person of Rosanna Nenna.
