Cervinia, Cogne and the other municipalities devastated by bad weather.“Where is the solidarity?”

"Where are Milan and Turin?They didn't understand that the problem of landslides in Cervinia and Cogne is theirs too."The president of Uncem (the Union of mountain communities) points the finger at the owners of second homes

AOSTA – “We haven't heard anything in the last few hours the solidarity of many large cities towards Cervinia, Cogne, of the Municipalities of the Orco Valley and the Lanzo Valleys".This was stated by the president of Uncem, the Union of Municipalities, Communities and Mountain Bodies, Marco Bussone, and the national councilor Jean Barocco, former mayor of Quart, in the Aosta Valley.“The climate emergency that has affected the slopes and the inhabitants is an issue that also concerns Turin, Milan, Genoa– Bussone and Barocco continue – second homes of those coming from these large centers there are thousands and the 'projection' of these urban systems onto the mountain resorts we cannot say today is metromontane given that after the enormous damage of the last few hours, once again the big cities have not understood that those problems in the mountain areas are theirs too“.
For the president and the national councilor of Uncem, there is therefore "a close bond.Understanding it would allow us to define relationships between territories, which today are only tourist flows.There is no further relationship. Milan must realize that those landslides in Cervinia are also its own.Cultural and political question.All this needs to be addressed so as not to leave the mayors of the mountain municipalities alone."
