A climate of fear in Milan
In recent months, the area of Via Fara, located between Piazza della Repubblica and Milan Central Station, has become a real battlefield for traders. Acts of vandalism and thefts continue at an incessant pace, creating a climate of fear and insecurity among residents and shop owners. The situation has become unsustainable, with shopkeepers feeling abandoned by the authorities and deprived of their work peace.
Complaints from traders
The testimonies of the traders are alarming. Many of them say they have suffered repeated thefts, with thieves acting undisturbed even in the middle of the night. “We are tired of living in this climate of fear,” says a visibly affected shopkeeper. “Every night is an unknown, we don't know if we'll find our shop intact in the morning”. Complaints are piling up, but law enforcement responses seem slow to arrive, leaving traders in a vulnerable situation.
Requests for greater security
In response to this emergency, the traders of Via Fara have decided to unite to ask for a decisive intervention by the local authorities. “We ask for more patrols and checks in our area”, they say in unison. The request for greater security has become a central theme in their discussions, with the aim of bringing serenity and safety back to their stores. “We cannot continue to work in these conditions,” they add, stressing the importance of a safe environment for trade and citizens.
A problem that affects everyone
The issue of security in Milan does not only concern the merchants of Via Fara, but is a problem that involves the entire city. The perception of insecurity is growing among Milanese, and authorities must urgently address this challenge. Collaboration between merchants, residents, and law enforcement is essential to finding effective and lasting solutions. “We must work together to give Milan back the safety it deserves”, conclude the traders, hoping that their requests will be heard and that this spiral of violence and insecurity can finally be put to an end.
