"I didn't come here to make controversies, I'm not responding because the best response is here in front of me, in this square, the truest response is the stronger you are."
The mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro, said this from the stage of the 'Hands off Bari' event, greeted by applause and chants.
"What they are trying to do to us is a shame without borders - he added - you don't trample on a city just for an electoral calculation, to win a small game, you don't trample on the history of the people of Bari because you are afraid of losing an electoral campaign that they have been losing for 20 years, because they have never had a project for the city".
