EMPOLI
After the chair brawl between young people last Saturday, in the midst of the bad weather emergency, the license of the pub near the station in Empoli was suspended for fifteen days. The measure was ordered by the police commissioner of Florence, Maurizio Auriemma. The device highlights how, from the facts taken from a video spread on social media and in the hands of the Empoli police station, a dangerous situation for public order and safety emerged. The measure was notified on Tuesday by the agents of the Empoli police station after the reconstruction of the story. According to what emerged, it seems that two opposing groups of foreign citizens were involved in the violent scuffle, who faced each other by throwing chairs and furnishings of all kinds found outside the venue.

Before last Saturday’s brawl, the previous week a customer had entered the same establishment brandishing a baseball bat and causing panic among those present. The man then walked away after moments of strong apprehension. Conflavoro also intervened in the latest violent episodes that occurred in the station area. “The economic realities that we represent near the Empoli station – we read in a note – are understandably worried and exasperated by the growing phenomenon of degradation. We have reported the problem both to the Florentine prefecture and to the municipality of Empoli. It is a difficult situation that comes up often and the time has come to resolve it by implementing a series of concrete actions.”
Conflavoro Firenze, with its president Enrico Fantini, launches an appeal to the institutions after yet another serious episode last weekend. “Fights, alcohol abuse, probable drug dealing are making life increasingly difficult for residents and economic operators in the area – says Fantini –. Fear, both for personal safety and for business, is obviously high. The holidays “Christmas holidays are upon us and the serenity of operators and customers is necessary. Moreover, as foreseen by the municipality, with the presence of Christmas decorations and lights at risk of damage it would be appropriate to resolve the phenomenon as soon as possible.” For Conflavoro “it is important to ‘contact’ the problem immediately by starting to monitor the area more frequently with the police. Immediately – concludes the president
