School, over 100 thousand wheeled benches returned: "They are not up to standard"
Renzi at the attack of Conte and Arcuri: “They bought them. A scandal. Now who pays? "
Over one hundred thousand wheelchair benches purchased in recent months to ensure a safer return to class and to reduce the possibility of Covid infections among students withdrawn because they are "not up to standard".
The decision came - from what we learn - from the commissioner structure led by General Francesco Figliuolo.
The same commissioner structure - as revealed by Il Tempo - would also have paid almost 173 thousand euros for the transport of the withdrawn counters.
The measure is based on both the size of the counters, beyond the allowed limit of 60 centimeters, but above all the same would not comply with the fire regulations, in relation to the surface of cubic meters of the class, and therefore would be potentially dangerous for the students.
Enough to unleash the political controversy.
Among the first to attack, Matteo Renzi, who points the finger at the Conte II government, which the benches had bought: "One hundred and ten thousand wheelchair benches bought by the previous government and then not used because they do not comply with the fire regulations. What a shame! ", Writes the leader of Italia Viva on Facebook. Adding:" Will anyone pay for this scandal? Why do the other parties not want the commission of inquiry on Covid purchases? Meanwhile we are more and more proud to have sent home Conte and Arcuri. With Draghi and Figliuolo we said enough even to the scandal of wheeled benches ”, concludes the former premier.
