“The new trick of the illegal parking attendants on Via Sedile di Porto sees scooter drivers as victims. The extortionists leave old scooters askew in front of the spaces reserved for motorcycle parking. When the person who needs to park arrives, they obviously ask who the vehicle belongs to. At that point they appear asking for money. The trick guarantees them income on a small portion of the spaces reserved for scooters. The rest is completely occupied by the cars entrusted to them. To prevent anyone from parking, they delimit the area with recycling bins. The scooters mentioned above are also used to occupy the spaces reserved for their regular customers. These people are increasingly brazen and think of something a day about how to extort money.” These are the words of the regional councilor of the Greens Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the municipal councilor of the Sole che Ride Marco Gaudini.
“The street,” Borrelli and Gaudini continue, “is once again held hostage by illegal parking attendants. The extortionists who were removed thanks to the Dacur were promptly replaced by relatives. Everything is back to how it was, or perhaps even worse. The extortionists are increasingly brazen, they believe they are the undisputed masters of the street.” “The case of Via Sedile di Porto is representative of how the current forms of combating the phenomenon are absolutely ineffective. For months now we have been asking the government to issue the implementing decrees of the security decree regarding the article that provides for the arrest of illegal parking attendants. Only in this way will it be possible to eradicate these metastases from the streets of our cities,” they conclude.
