(ANSA) – POLISTENA, AUGUST 20 – Two vehicles owned by the Municipality of Polistena were stolen last night. The vehicles were parked in the square of the waste collection center, under video surveillance, located along the Polistena-Melicucco provincial road. Unknown people broke the padlocks of the main gate, stole the parked van and the tractor with crane and skip essential for the transport and disposal of waste. This was made known by the mayor of Polistena Michele Tripodi.
“This action – he says – is not isolated and, beyond the significant economic value of the means, follows a first criminal expedition carried out in the same place last May 13 against the ecology service, recently too targeted. In that circumstance the criminals had sabotaged and removed the catalysts of two vehicles hired by the Pentagon company, which currently manages the entrances to the collection center. What happened constitutes another disturbing episode that this time is directed against vehicles owned by the Municipality and used for a long time in the cleaning service urban, a service aimed at all citizens. In our opinion, it is a criminal and mafia strategy, precise, targeted and refined, which tends to create disservices against the city, to weaken and de-legitimize the good governance of the ” Municipal Administration that operates at the forefront to ensure efficient services, compliance with the rules and legality, fight against the mafias, transparent za in the choice of economic operators, reuse of assets confiscated from the ndrangheta “. The management of the waste service, continues the mayor, “is a crucial sector around which various interests and mafia appetites gravitate.
The unworthy action reverberates on the correct performance of the service itself. “” But let’s be clear – concludes the mayor -. No mafia or criminal will stop the initiative of the municipal administration chosen democratically by the people who will continue in their work at the service of the city to assert legality and rights and reject any attempt at criminal and mafia conditioning “.
