Precisely on this last aspect, Assi wanted to thank the teams of workers (and not only) who immediately rolled up their sleeves yesterday, Labor Day.
“I take this opportunity to thank all those who, in the hours immediately following, worked to restore the safety conditions of the area, the police forces and the emergency services who intervened promptly – declared the mayor. I had the opportunity to speak with the director and with some members of the staff, specifically regarding the temporary replacement activities. Naturally, I thanked them for their presence and for the service they provided to the community, even in this serious circumstance.”
