It is not so much the investigation because until sentences come (if they ever come), nobody asks the mayor Giuseppe Sala to get aside. The problem, however, is political and what worries is that the investigations, the arrests, the revocations of the arrests endanger not only the image of the Municipality but risk to sink once and for all the urban development of a city that in recent years, beyond what reluctantly and is under everyone’s eyes, has been neglected and forgotten in some respects.
An example are the basic sports facilities, Those who should guarantee sport for everyone. Sport as right and service, “rescue lifeboat” to remove young and old from the bad road and troubles in general, to give, even to those who cannot afford it to measure themselves, to feel good or more simply take a dip or a swim in summer when the sea is a chimera and the city an apa trap.
A few days ago it was occupied by some exponents of the “Fight for the House” Assembly the Argelati swimming pool in via Segantini, in the Navigli area. Beyond the ways and the reasons that can be summarized in the text of a flyer distributed in front of the system that complains “a context in which because of the dear life and the redevelopment processes expresses the poorest bands of the population from the city, leading to the sale and privatization of public heritage”, notes the fact that the blitz to argers is only the last of a long series and gives the wrist of a disastrous system situation which little is also spoken because the debate of the last few years now revolves around the infinite story of the Meazza stadium. There is only talk of feasibility plans, projects, demolitions, renovations, new areas, leaks forward towards Rozzano and San Donato, reverse, rethinking, statements of interest, meetings and now it seems that even the resignation or not of the mayor depend on the new Meazza project, Sine qua non -courses to go on or take aside. Not a little. Meanwhile, the “minor” sport reeling with the cry of pain of many sports clubs forced to make fatal jumps to find facilities and spaces to make their young people train.
Hergelates were said but the situation of many other swimming pools is critical Starting with Saini, one of the most popular centers from athletes, Paralympic athletes and swimmers, closed until next summer for a renovation. Same goes, even worse, for Lido, also closed for them for changes in management and more or less in progress and more or less permanently indefinitely. Not only that. Milan is one of the few European cities not to have an indoor system and an athletics track approved for competitions. The Arena is no longer in compliance to host meetings and competitions, the Luigi Carraro center in via dei Missaglia has a dilapidated track, the juriats managed by the Polytechnic does not have a homologated structure.
Another “school case” that shows how much the sport practiced is not on top of the thoughts of those who should instead guarantee it is the agora, The ice building which, with the winter Olympics at the gates, would have due, in the country of common sense, to be at the center of attention has been out of use for more than two years. A sad story that recalls a little that of the San Siro Palasport ruined by the great snowfall of 1985 and then let it collapse by unable to remedy it. So in recent years the temple of the “Devils”, theater of tricolor challenges and beyond, has become sadly first a bivouac, then a refuge for homeless and, after the occupation of a social center, more or less a month ago also set fire. It was slowly left to “die” by an administration that in some cases collected compromised inheritance but that would have had all the time in recent years to remedy and instead did not do it.
Agorà is the symbol of a “distracted” management, Probably in other affairs, which does not seem to be inspired by the “diligence of the good father of the family” on these themes. “The occupation of the Argelati municipal swimming pool is yet another bankruptcy of the Milanese left, who has left many public properties to abandon, bringing them to degradation and delivering them to the illegal unauthorized- confirms Marco Bestetti, regional councilor of Fratelli d’Italia- It is disconcerting that, despite the situation of the municipal sports facilities, it is very serious, the Municipality of Milan did not even participate in the Lombardy Region call that redevelopment of the plants. The managers of degradation and occupations are inside Palazzo Marino and when they ask us for the reasons why we invoke the resignation of the Sala junta we refer precisely to these unacceptable situations ».
