«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.”
