After discovering that he had lost his basic income, he broke into the mayor's office, dosing it with gasoline and threatening to set fire to everything.
Moments of great fear in Terrasini, in the province of Palermo.
The secretary general Cristofaro Ricupati tried to talk to the man , in the end it was the president of the municipal council Marcello Maniaci who made him desist. The carabinieri and a 118 ambulance also arrived immediately.
The 60-year-old man was accompanied by the carabinieri and health workers to the Partinico hospital for checks. He was in a very confused and particularly altered state.
«Distorted messages are being passed these days - says the mayor of Terrasini, Giosuè Maniaci - The recipients who have seen their basic income removed are urged to contact the Municipalities. It is clear that the Municipalities alone, if there is no legislative instrument, if there is no government, if there is no intervention by the Region, cannot be able to help all these families who have enjoyed the benefit . As mayors we fight every day with the aim of creating an economy and that's what we've been doing from morning to night. But it is evident that we cannot satisfy the single request of a subject. We have also sought a discussion with this person over time and he has also been offered job opportunities but he has shown that he is unable to do so due to a series of alleged physical problems".
