Valbormida. Schools closed during the passage of the Giro d’Italia and controversy erupts in Valbormida. Starting the attack, Intrabormida, an association that has been active in the area for years, which, through its board of directors, has taken a position “against the ordinances issued by the mayors of Val Bormida”.
“We will appeal to the TAR,” they thundered. – It is unimaginable to put the values of school education after those of a transit of a sporting event. It is sufficient to search on the websites of the various municipalities of Val Bormio, the reasons for the ordinances issued by the mayors to justify the closures of compulsory schools, for an entire day because the tour of Italy passes through for a few hours”.
“Not a departure or arrival stage, but we would like to underline it, only transit. The reasons are enough to get an idea of the wrong values, or on the contrary, on which school education in our area is based. From a sporting point of view, there is also a hint of healthy discrimination, why haven’t the same ordinances been issued for other events?”, they continued.
“Difficult mobility to reach schools is not a sufficient reason to deprive students of a right guaranteed by the constitution. Sad, even more so is the motive of tourist spectacularization and hospitality for the glory of the Municipality of transit of the Pink Caravan. For us, the schools should not have been touched,” they concluded from Intrabormida.
