The mobilization of citizens in Desenzano is intensifying ahead of the signing of the protocol for the new hospital, scheduled for today at 10 AM at the regional territorial office. The Committee to Maintain the Hospital of Desenzano on Montecroce expresses strong discontent towards local administrators, accusing the mayors of silence and the Region of a lack of transparency in the decision-making process. The main criticism is directed at Luisa Lavelli, the mayor of Sirmione and president of the Assembly of Mayors of Area 11, who has yet to convene a meeting with the Committee representatives despite promises made over 45 days ago.
The Committee emphasizes that without an adequate public discussion, the future of the new hospital will be decided without considering the opinions of citizens, who have already expressed their opposition to the construction through a petition signed by over 8,000 people. Concerns also revolve around the shortage of healthcare personnel in existing facilities and the need to ensure effective service before investing in new structures. The situation remains tense as citizens continue to demand greater involvement in decisions that affect their community.
