The mayor of Marcianise, Antonello Velardi, lashes out against the gatherings of young people and writes on Facebook "it's a losing game".
The mayor takes it out on parents, writing about the "failure of our educational models". "At nine o'clock on Saturday evening I am still in the Town Hall - the post reads - and from the square I can hear the screams of the kids swarming, in groups, obviously without any distancing, almost all without masks. The girls are the most excited. The police have intervened several times to disperse these screaming groups: they are all minors and it becomes complicated to even issue a fine. I realize more and more that the rules are worthless if there is no awareness of wanting to respect them.
'FAILURE OF PARENTAL EDUCATIONAL MODELS'
It would take - he adds - a carabiniere or a policeman behind every Marcianise resident. I reflect on these scenes: they are the demonstration of the great failure of our educational models. But it was the families who failed, the great losers are the parents". Velardi then gives an account of the increase in infections in Marcianise, a municipality that during the second wave was a red zone, together with the nearby center of Orta di Atella; to date, there are 221 positive people in Marcianise, but what is worrying is the contagiousness of the English variant, which affects young people in particular. "The data - Velardi writes again - show the ever-increasing involvement of minors and these minors continue to head towards Covid, to cross life on the edge of death. While their parents are at home, or maybe they too are on the street, or maybe on Facebook protesting about the few controls.
'IT'S A LOST GAME AGAINST HUMAN IDIOCY'
Without asking the children where they have been, without asking why the children are not at home at this time as is mandatory according to the anti-Covid regulations. It is a losing game, there is no competition against human idiocy. Among those who are under the Municipality tonight, there will be new positives in the coming days. It is inevitable "concludes the mayor of Marcianise.
