Before today 9 September Palazzo Cernezzi communicated with a note at 5.54 pm that “the city council approved the proposal of the Heritage and Sport departments to take charge of the management of the gym in via Giulini by the Sports sector for the year 2021 -2022. This solution will make it possible not to penalize sports associations and schools, which will be able to use it while waiting for the tender for the assignment to be completed “, in the Municipality the case of the closed structure broke out, home to the training of Basketball Como among other things. , Serie C women’s team.
For the assignment of the structure a new call was needed which, however, has not been launched by the Municipality so far and the girls have to train outdoors. But with autumn just around the corner, a situation that clearly cannot continue for long.
“I hope that the junta will proceed with a temporary assignment without delay,” Mario Gorla (FdI) said yesterday evening in the city council.
In the classroom the councilor Alessandro Rapinese was also very hard: “If I had a councilor who, for a problem known since April, with a non-profit company that on June 19 wrote an email to the Municipality saying that they needed the gym also having a higher number of girls and boys with pathologies and disabilities, and this councilor left women and disabled people outside a basketball court, [lo prenderei] kicking your ass. It would be possible to rely directly, there are sentences of the Council of State that would allow it, but this junta has other things to think about ”.
“As the directors of Rapinese and Gorla well know, the story began from afar – replied the councilor for Sport, Marco Galli – The Heritage sector has tried to manage the situation and we as Sport have evaluated a strategy to shorten the time (the temporary assignment pending the call for the definitive one, ed). I’m sure they all followed it well on vacation – he added sarcastically – while we tried to solve it. Today (yesterday, editor’s note) is September 8, we are perhaps late but not very late. And as far as kicks in the ass are concerned, everyone expresses themselves for their abilities “.
Finally, today a note from Codacons also arrived: “Numerous sports clubs are in difficulty because they do not have a place to train, after almost a year of stoppage due to the pandemic, the gym in Via Giulini is also closed. The Councilors for Heritage and Sport have announced a proposed appointment to the Sports Sector for the management of the year 2021/2022, before proceeding with a tender. The city council will discuss the problem in a few weeks, but for now there are no gyms available ”.
“It is necessary to find a solution as soon as possible – adds the president of Codacons Marco Donzelli”.
Meanwhile, the Association warns the Municipality of Como to quickly guarantee a sports facility to allow all athletes to train.
