Ribera cancels agriculture festival Mayor: “We want to send a strong message”
Explain to me the following article briefly
The agriculture festival, scheduled from May 23 to 26 in Ribera, has been cancelled. The decision was made by the mayor, Matteo Ruvolo, on one hand, to show solidarity with the farmers who are facing an unprecedented crisis and on the other, to send a strong message.
The mayor said he made the decision “reluctantly, in a sign of closeness to the farmers who are facing a serious water crisis. The drought is putting a strain on the economy, compromising agricultural production and threatening the economic sustainability of the entire community”.
“By cancelling the agriculture festival, we want to send a strong signal – Matteo Ruvolo continued -. We stand with the farmers, our land, and our economy. The priority now is to concentrate all efforts on trying to guarantee access to water for families and agricultural activities, implementing any initiative to solve or at least mitigate the water crisis”.
