“But did the Moroccan who asked for alms drown in all this?” These are the words Paola Garlaschelli, mayor of Voghera. Another storm hit the center-right administration.
The second, after that of 20 July when Youns El Boussettaoui, 39, died in the square after a fight. The shot that killed him was fired from the gun by the then security councilor Massimo Adriatici, who resigned and investigated by the Pavia prosecutor for culpable excess of self-defense.
Now new chats are leaking from the group of representatives of the local administration. Smiley faces, laughter and smiles for the racist content of some messages.
The “escape” of screen has begun a couple of weeks ago, and in the methods it would seem a form of internal revenge. The dialogues published this time refer to last 12 March. The topic is always that of migrants.
In a message the mayor Garlaschelli asks, with a joke at least in bad taste: “But in all this is the Moroccan who asked for alms drowned?”, Without explaining to whom and what he was referring to. A statement followed by some laughs and smiles. Message spread after the attempts to distance the mayor, who in recent months has tried in the public square to give a different image of the junta chaired by her.
The city planning councilor Giancarlo Gabba writes: «Unfortunately, our brigade is no longer enough! It takes much more! ». Affirmation accompanied by the emotion of a bomb. The mayor answers him with a heart and this sentence: “We missed Giancarlo!”.
The administrator had already ended up at the center of the controversy for some chats leaked over the summer. In one of these he wrote: “Until we start shooting, it will always be worse”, referring to alleged gatherings of the square composed mainly of migrants. Despite the controversy raised by the opposition of the Town Hall, the eponent maintained his role in the council. But the reprimand that the mayor gave him then clashes now with the approval message sent in chat.
Despite repeated requests for resignation, the mayor Garlaschelli affirmed that neither she nor her council feel “any need to reaffirm our absolute distance from any form of racism, intolerance, violence”, reiterating the commitment “in the work we are carrying out. forward for an inclusive, welcoming city, attentive to the needs of the most fragile people ».
