School closes, Merler attacks Ianeselli: “He doesn’t know what a job is,” and responds rhyming: “He only knows how to insult.”

TRENTO – It is a bitter and direct confrontation – not in the City Hall classroom, but on Facebook – between the councilor and the former mayoral candidate Andrea Merler and the mayor Franco Ianeselli on the subject of school closings.

The former prime minister, who wrote: “I read that the mayor of Trento Franco Ianeselli would like to #close the #schools. Fortunately, the responsibility lies with President Maurizio Fugatt.I, who is doing the impossible correctly, with Commissioner Mirko Bisesti, to keep them open. Formerly the Union mayor he had urged employees and citizens not to use meal vouchers in restaurants. Perhaps, having never had to fight for a salary, he does not realize that the common citizen – to live – has to carry out an activity, obviously unknown to him, such as work.

Furthermore, school in the presence is not only a right, but a very important social and cultural factor for the positive growth of our children ”.

Hard and discussed Ianeselli’s response: “I am sorry that Councilor Andrea Merler I just can’t argue without insulting (the history of the docet “sudici sudisti”). And it is even more regrettable that the center-right adviser launches a dramatic problem in hot pursuit, perhaps seeking some political return. I will not follow it this way, but to avoid doubts I will only make some clarifications.

– To guarantee the opening of the nests, the Municipality of Trento pays for the swabs out of its own pocket. to the staff. Ensuring families an essential service also means working for safety: otherwise, it is not a service, but a risk. I add that the city council is thinking about the ways in which the municipality can make its contribution to the vaccination campaign.

– We know that it makes little sense to close schools and leave everything else open: in fact, you run the risk of locking up students in the morning and then seeing them swarming in groups in the afternoon around the city.

– The truth is that the situation is serious, so much so that the CTS (Scientific Technical Committee) spoke not only of closed schools, but of new confinements. It is a measure that nobody wants, as nobody wants to recount the 20 deaths of Covid on the last day April nor demolish our hospitals. No precaution is excessive to save lives. “
