Milan, 19 October (LaPresse) – “Unfortunately, the feeling is that these periods of tension are not over. Not just in Milan, but everywhere. This is a delicate phase, and there is a great deal to be done. This is not the time to seek votes.” Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said this in reference to the unrest that has affected the city in recent days. “This morning, together with Carlo Sangalli, president of Confcommercio, I visited several businesses that were devastated over the past weekend,” he added. “I met shopkeepers and many people who are still shaken by what happened. I expressed my solidarity and support to all of them. Once again, Milan is rolling up its sleeves and, despite being wounded, has got back to work.” “In Galleria Passarella, I met a young woman who works in a small business. She was assaulted yesterday, and today she is back at work,” Sala continued. “In her, and in all the workers who have reopened their shops today, I saw the determination not to give in to fear, hatred and violence. “Actions and scenes such as those we witnessed on Saturday and Sunday, directed against law enforcement officers and public spaces and businesses, are unacceptable and unjustifiable,” he concluded.
