BOSCONERO

There would be the “water war”, which for some years has caused controversy and discussions among the farmers of Bosconero, behind the attack (and arrest) of Gianfranco Andrina, a 54-year-old farmer living in the town.

The Sentinel of Monday 23 August in a minute

In the morning of last Thursday, the man allegedly threatened with a switchblade knife and hit the commissioner for public works of Bosconero, Renato Ferro and an employee of the West Orco irrigation consortium with an iron chain and a blow of fists, committed to controlling the flow of water in one of the bulkheads located in the countryside of the town in via Villafranca. Furthermore, upon the arrival of two carabinieri patrols from Volpiano, the farmer would also have thrown himself at them who were trying to calm him down. A marshal in the struggle was pushed to the ground with the man’s weight on him, causing the fracture of his right arm.

With difficulty the military then managed to block Gianfranco Andrina, who was taken to the security room of the Chivasso company command under arrest on charges of resistance and public officer and injuries.

In the meantime, the marshal had to resort to the care of the doctors in the emergency room of the Chivassese hospital.

Here he was medicated and discharged with a prognosis of thirty days. Only slight bruises for the other two carabinieri, for the commissioner and for the employee of the irrigation consortium. However, all were medicated. For them, the prognosis is seven days. The next day, in court in Ivrea in front of the investigating judge Elena Stoppini, the arrest was validated. For Gianfranco Andrina, the judge then ordered his release pending trial. “My only interest was to shut off the flow of water,” the farmer said in his defense, claiming to be in possession of a court order favorable to him.

The latter fact that was denied by the president of the agricultural consortium. Meanwhile, the investigations continue in search of the switchblade, which at the moment has not been found. The chain, on the other hand, did: Gianfranco Andrina had thrown it in the middle of the corn. His brother also arrived to help the farmer, who was denounced in a state of freedom for competing in resistance. For years, access to water for irrigation of the fields, managed by the West Orco Irrigation Consortium, has been the cause of discussions, even very heated ones, between the farmers of the area and the municipal administrators. However, such an event had never occurred.
