06 November 2020Perhaps that of last night is the face of another Bergamo, a city heavily affected by the pandemic, which now with weariness and mistrust fears that the new block could give "the coup de grace".

300 traders, restaurateurs, VAT numbers and far-right exponents, deniers and some members of the League left from Palazzo Frizzoni, the seat of the mayor and then arrived under the house of Mayor Gori.

On the Facebook post, Gori talks about people supervised by the police, flag slogans and smoke bombs.

“I don't want to exaggerate the scale of the episode, however unpleasant it may be.

I recognize, writes Gori, the right of anyone to demonstrate and indeed I perfectly understand the concern, the desperation of those who live from their business and fear in these hours that the new closure could give them the coup de grace.

“A mayor - he explains however - has nothing to do with the decision to indicate a certain territorial area as" red ".

The government decides and does so to protect people's health ".   

Gori recalls that he" supported the government's request for immediate relief and I will commit myself, as we have already done in recent months with the contributions disbursed by the Renaissance Program, because the municipal administration is alongside these workers in the coming months.

Compared to March, there is more tiredness and more distrust around, there have been no significant upgrades of the health system, aid and refreshments overlap without clear priorities.

This is why it is more difficult to glimpse a prospect ".

" Whoever has mixed with that march with the sole purpose of exploiting it - continues Gori - knows well what are the competences of the various institutional levels.

In a moment like this, with so many people anxious about their future, throwing fuel on the fire, pointing out a target only for partisan interest, is in my opinion serious and rather dangerous.

Because no one can be sure of governing that protest, once it has triggered it ”.

Then the invitation to responsibility, of all political forces and associative representatives who are aware of the delicacy of this moment, especially for a wounded city like ours.

Where it is easy for pain to become anger, and so many efforts to cultivate social cohesion quickly go up in smoke.

Everyone does his part.

And in the meantime, thanks to the many who have expressed their affectionate solidarity to me in these hours ".
