(ANSA) - PALERMO, JANUARY 20 - It is not enough to capture Matteo MessinaDenaro and the picciotti who allowed his escape.
We also need interventions in the at-risk neighborhoods of Palermo, where the mafia still has great power and charm.
Thus the loss of three million euros to create a kindergarten wanted by the association founded by Don Pino Puglisi causes a sensation.
Everything was ready, even the project had been drawn up.
Then due to a mistake, a bureaucratic step, everything was lost, including the financing.
The last hope now remains Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, to whom the president of the Centro Padre Nostro Maurizio Artale launches an appeal: "we ask that the government approve the amendment that was presented in the Milleproroghe decree.
It is Artale himself who reconstructs the passages of the story relating to the construction of the asylum "I piccoli del Beato Giuseppe Puglisi", "In April 2019 - he explains - the Conte government allocated three million euros, but those sums on 31 December last went into So no more asylum in Brancaccio, whose project much desired by Don Pino Puglisi was blessed by Pope Francis, during his visit to the Casa Museo del Beato, which took place on 15 September 2018 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the killing of the parish priest of Brancaccio".
"The asylum project - continues Artale - had been donated to the administration by the Padre Nostro Reception Center, with the collaboration of Reggio Children with the economic contribution of the John Paul II Foundation of Florence and with the great commitment of the newspaper Avvenire. Unfortunately the administration led by Leoluca Orlando did not include it in the three-year plan of public works 2021-2022.An oversight which cost the possibility of launching the tender, blocking the sums to carry out the work which was then included in the 2022-2023 plan.But by now it was too late and the sums went in peremption. Now we entrust ourselves to the president Meloni, last resort for the children of Brancaccio".
The new municipal council led by Roberto Lagalla guarantees the commitment to carry out the work.
"We share the concern of the Our Father Center in Brancaccio. Since nothing was done by the administration in previous years, we had to acknowledge the impossibility of presenting the legally binding obligation by 31 December 2022, as required by law. It is clear, however, that the matter remains under the attention of the current administration which will refinance the work in the 2021-2027 programming".
