Borrelli and La Battaglia di Andrea: "Great satisfaction, now we ask for a severe sentence. A real cultural revolution is needed, there is still very little respect for the rights of the disabled."
Good news from Afragola, on the morning of February 24th the person who had slashed, on the afternoon of Saturday February 20th, the tires of Anna, a disabled woman who had ticketed a car parked in a disabled parking space, was identified.
This is, as reported in an official note in the Municipal Police of Afragola, the same individual who had parked in the disabled space and threatened Mrs. Anna. The man, in addition to being fined, was reported to the judicial authorities for aggravated damage.
"I feel great satisfaction for this epilogue. May this story serve as a warning not only to the protagonist of this shameful story but also to all those who do not respect the rights of people with disabilities. A flat tire for me is equivalent to a broken engine, to losing your legs again, people must understand." - commented Anna.
“We are extremely satisfied with the speed with which the Municipal Police managed to catch the culprit who must now be severely punished. It is too late for repentance, he should have done it earlier, when there was the opportunity, he should have apologized to Anna when he parked in a disabled space, instead he humiliated her, insulted her and even threatened her. Now justice will have to take its course.” - said Asia Maraucci, president of the Disability Observatory La Battaglia di Andrea who intervened in the matter from the very first moment and supported Anna.
"A severe punishment is needed because there is evidently still very little respect for the rights of people with disabilities, there is still a lot of work to be done on this. We need to set up a real cultural revolution because there is too much backwardness. Just think that a Neapolitan entrepreneur systematically parked his rented Ferrari in a disabled parking spot. I reported this person and there is currently a lawsuit underway." - concluded the Regional Councilor of Europa Verde Francesco Emilio Borrelli, who, together with La Battaglia di Andrea, had publicly denounced the incident. The lawyer Sergio Pisani, Anna's defender, expressed satisfaction for the speed with which the person responsible for this despicable act was identified.
