Leonardo Caponi: Candidate Head Doctor in Perugia with Promises of Urban Renewal
Leonardo Caponi, mayoral candidate for the “PCI, Perugia against war and neoliberalism” list, announced an important milestone this morning at the electoral offices of Perugia. His list was the first to be registered for the next municipal elections, supported by 401 signatures, exceeding the number needed for candidacy by 51. This event marks a significant step forward for the group, which has stood out for its commitment and dedication in gathering the necessary support.
Caponi describes this success as a “flower that arises from apparently choppy but actually stagnant waters”, highlighting how the result is the result not only of the collective commitment of the party members, but also of the climate of respect and sympathy that they were able to establish among the voters of Perugia. The enthusiasm and support demonstrated by the community offers the city’s voters new hope and an alternative option to existing options.
The program presented by Caponi and his list is positioned as a third way compared to the “grey continuity” of the current council and the idealized vision of a utopian Perugia. Their project aims to transform Perugia by overcoming the development model based exclusively on large residential buildings and shopping centers, which has characterized the city in recent years. Instead, it proposes an economic and social recovery plan that promotes the production of wealth and the strengthening of local services, raising the quality of urban life.
In an era marked by fragmentation and individualism, the “PCI, Perugia against war and neoliberalism” list launches an ambitious challenge: a unifying project for change in the city. Caponi underlines that without an overall paradigm shift, Perugia’s specific problems will continue to remain unresolved. Caponi’s proposal is not just a government vision but a call to action for all citizens of Perugia, offering a clear direction and a more equitable and sustainable city model.
