Buonajuto (Herculaneum mayor): it is not possible for a museum to be equated with a discotheque

Speaking on Radio Crc Targato Italia, the mayor of Herculaneum and Anci vice-president Ciro Buonajuto spoke about the situation in his city, saying that "the situation is delicate as it is throughout the region," as the number of infected people is high, even though most are asymptomatic.

"I still think the best solution is not to close squares and streets,“ he added, ”we close businesses if we have refreshments for those families. We need a sense of responsibility and we need to strengthen the health care system that cannot handle the amount of infections.“ He continued: ”Does De Magistris feel he is holding the candle? Have the courage to close the waterfront. I agree with the measures that can be effective. Restricting the access of minors to a square to get in the newspapers seems limited to me. Young people need to go out safely, more controls are needed, and from the government come more law enforcement in the cities.

Speaking on the issue of culture, Buonajuto said, "It is absurd that we think about closing a square, it is not possible for a museum to be equated with a disco. I have never seen gatherings in an archaeological park or in front of a Van Gogh painting. I gave a signal from Herculaneum with the first city council held inside a museum."

In fact, the first Herculaneum city council was held in the spaces of the Virtual Archaeological Museum, "because never before have we wanted to reiterate with strength and determination that culture must be the engine of growth and development of our territory," he concluded.
