St. Basil's, the psychiatric community has been closed for three years, but the ASL continues to pay a 24-hour security guard.

A psychiatric community center in San Basilio, Rome, has been closed since 2023 due to structural issues, yet the local health authority (Asl) continues to pay for 24-hour security to prevent illegal occupations. Patients were transferred to a facility with half the beds and less suitable spaces. The situation involves a stalemate between ATER, which owns the building, and Asl Roma 2, which uses it. Critics call this a waste of public funds and a failure to address the needs of vulnerable individuals. The closure has raised concerns about safety, access to care, and the potential for the structure to be taken over by local criminals.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the ongoing financial burden on taxpayers as a 'vergogna' (shame), emphasizing the misuse of public funds and the neglect of essential services. It highlights systemic failures and criticizes both ATER and Asl for their lack of resolution, suggesting a left-leaning critique of mis
