“Politics is always saying ‘WE’ and never ‘I’. I start from this cornerstone to explain the reasons that led me to leave Con’s movement, declaring myself officially independent from today. ‘Con’, in my opinion, has lost its identity, its prerogatives which convinced me to believe in this new challenge on the occasion of the 2020 regional elections.
That simple preposition based on sharing and unanimity of intent has, along the way, first lost intensity and then completely forgotten its original connotation. The political line drawn ‘aborigine’ is today barely mentioned and does not offer future prospects as the second most supported political force of the majority deserves. No capacity for self-determination or political-administrative autonomy it was achieved by the Movement, which on the contrary too often appears to be a simple instrument in the hands of others.
In consideration of my role I have tried, on several occasions, to share my concerns with the aim of reawakening the spirit of the group which today appears anesthetized or simply ‘satisfied’. The attempt at reconciliation appeared irretrievable when I did not perceive shared intent in the request for the cancellation of the Regional Council and of all the top roles of the participating agencies in the region, to give a strong signal after the latest legal events which struck at the heart of Apulian politics, in the same way I was stunned when the meetings called to outline a fundamental political line for the continuation of the group’s activity were considered marginal.
I reluctantly believe that Con actually ceased to exist when individualistic positions have suffocated the overall vision, when political positions and institutional roles have quelled the ardors of a future plan to be shared in the interests of the community. Instead we remain helpless in the face of events, phlegmatic and unmotivated despite the imminence of electoral events of fundamental importance such as the next Europeans where civility could have played a leading role, helping to write the future of the European Union and that of Italy”.
