The situation in Mergellina is really worrying. It cannot continue like this, it seems that violence is becoming normal. I hope that the authorities take concrete measures to guarantee the safety of citizens and tourists.
It is sad to see how certain episodes can ruin an evening that should be of leisure and fun. People have the right to feel safe while going out, especially in busy areas like Mergellina.
