Cagliari, in via Dettori activities and houses off limits for over 100 days: "Nobody gives us information"
Local owners and residents protest in the street closed due to collapses: "They don't even ask how we are living this long period"
Anger is growing among residents and merchants of the Navy, in the stretch of via Dettori, where homes and businesses have been closed for over 110 days. No one is able to indicate the date of the possible return to normality.
The inhabitants, after the evacuation linked to the presence of cracks in the buildings and the risk of collapse, continue to live as guests of family and friends. Someone ended up in the hotel. And one resident, a Bangladeshi peddler, Samuel Amu, 44, second floor, house number 39, was forced to send his wife and children home. "For two months", he explains during a street meeting with the press organized to denounce the seriousness of the situation, "I slept in the mosque".
Since January 13, a couple from Cagliari have been walking around with their suitcases from one relative's house to another, waiting for a call to return home. But the call - they explain - never comes. «Nobody is able to tell us - denounces another resident, Samuele Russo - a date. If I have to rent an apartment, someone tell me how long. No one is wondering how the residents are living in this long period. We do not see guarantees on the horizon: we have no news of the time and resources available. The impression is that a control room is missing».
Pitch dark even for seven o'clock (but one was able to reopen) commercial activities. Buffhouse had to fire five employees: «I also protested with Google», explains the manager Francesco Alba, «now instead of the photo of the club there is the image of the construction site. An image damage, but not only. The Region had guaranteed 500,000 euros for the activities, but no one saw a cent".
Even those who can work complain. Claudio Crisafi is outside the closed area for a few meters: «But it is no longer the same thing, there is no longer the passage as before: we are talking about a stretch of road that was crossed every day by many people and many tourists. Businesses in the area are also suffering. We need to speed up the times for the reopening ».
