Disabled at Maradona, Lieutenant Colonel Paglia's comment
The Lieutenant Colonel reports it Gianfranco Paglia, Gold Medal for Military Valor, Advisor to the Minister of Defense and Captain of the Defense Paralympic Sports Group, who spoke about the case of stadium Maradona.
“At Maradona, disabled people ghettoized, all propaganda from the Municipality”
“At the meeting of December 20, 2022, I pointed out the lack of correctness of the proposal because they wanted to once again ghettoize the disabled since it was decided that the majority of those places would be assigned to those who can walk, prohibiting the latter from accessing the upper sector because, according to the municipal officials, those with a prosthesis are not able to climb the stairs”.
“Obviously from December to today, despite what Mayor Manfredi declared in our meeting in which he guaranteed an allocation of around 200 thousand euros and the start of the works during the Christmas holidays, nothing has been done and disabled people continue to be treated not only as second division fans but as citizens who are denied the sacrosanct right to live a life without barriers”.
