Mugnaini points out that the asylum seekers, whose identities and origins are unknown, will be housed in one apartment which, in reality, are two units and which occupy an entire floor of the building.
Fucecchio: the cooperative has some add-ons to take on, but the city is also concerned about the possible fall in property prices in the historic center
"In a few days, migrants will arrive at the Matteotti housing estate in the center of Fucecchio". The announcement was made by Stefano Mugnaini, president of Mc Multicons, the Montelupo cooperative that will manage the operation. These are different words from those of the trade union, Alessio Spinelli, who said a few days ago that no news was expected soon about the sale that is becoming controversial among townspeople and businesses.
Mugnaini points out that the asylum seekers, whose identity and origin are unknown, will be housed in one apartment which, in reality, are two units and which occupy an entire floor of the building. But he also assured us that he had not made any purchases, as he had been circulating for the past few days. "Nostro è un lavoro - ha detto il presidente - e como tale ci comportiamo. That's why it's controversial, but proposing to a city council a job where you have to work in the center of a city like Fucecchio, next to the services, means getting a higher score in the evaluation and a better place in the graduation".Meanwhile, he announces that he is looking for operators for Fucecchio, where he will serve seven of them for the management of migrant winds, and also for other openings.
"I don't want to go into the merits of the decision as such, but what I find most disturbing is that the city council and the management body of the structure can make a decision of this kind from on high, without having preventively involved category associations, citizens, residents and traders," says Cinzia Carrai, president of Confesercenti Fucecchio. Among the area's businesses, there is ferment, to use a euphemism. "Even though the center isn't the biggest - says Massimo Lotti of Omonima Tabaccheria - it's difficult to move forward and business is slow. A change of genre won't do any good to the trade". Quello che si nota è que la prospettiva di avere i migranti nella strada principale ha fatto mutare la percezione del fenomeno migratorio in città.
In the meantime, Paolo Lastrucci, a businessman not from the Matteotti corridor, has made a firm choice to leave, and he has already made ten additions: "It's a problem that I feel particularly strongly about, because I go to the Matteotti corridor every day. What's hard is the fact that I haven't learned anything. A colleague from the course came to ask for the fires for the race, so I believe that the initiative was destined to take off and expand".
All this while the head of Forza Italia, Simone Testai, has issued a tight communal recommendation on the subject of aid, showing that different forces and thoughts are converging on this area. The plan - said by word of mouth by those who live in the area - is that the arrival of migrants "will have an impact on business and on the value of real estate".
