«The Municipality of Salerno moves forward»

He may never set foot in again Municipality of Salerno the resigning, now former general manager of the institution Matteo Picardi. Yesterday morning she wasn’t in the office, she was going to take a day off holidays. And so he could continue to do until the next one May 1, the day on which he will actually be free from office. The office, in front of which an elegant golden plaque had been mounted bearing his name and qualification – the object, at least until yesterday, was still in place – remained closed. “It’s not there,” he simply replies to those who are questioned about the possible presence of the manager at Palazzo Guerra. Dry answer, which leaves no room for conversation. As if to say: let’s carry on as if nothing had happened. The sky is clear but can darken in an instant and threaten storm. Which is a bit like the profile adopted yesterday by mayor Enzo Napoli which he stoically minimized the fact.

«Director Picardi, who I thank for the work performed – reconstructs Naples – he sent me a kind letter of irrevocable resignation, which were not requested of him, was his initiative because he recognized a difficulty in reconciling the attention due to aspects of the municipal machinery with that due to the management of Sistemi Salerno. He decided, responsibly, to dedicate himself to his first assignment». In reality, to be picky, in the letter of resignation registered by Picardi last April 17th – which the mayor of Naples cites when commenting on the incident – there is no trace of irrevocability of the decision. She may have possibly said it in person, assuming they met or spoke in the last couple of days, but she definitely didn’t put it in writing. Regarding the motivation unofficial farewell – the error in the compilation of balance of the Municipality of Salerno which made the president go into a rage Vincenzo De Luca – Naples glides. She neither admits nor denies it. He prefers to focus on merit assessments regarding the budget and the process correction of the act. «The error in the budget was an error that was promptly corrected because there were possibilities to do so, in the sense that our budget was and is sustainable, also in consideration of the other items that entered and which had not been balanced – he further states Naples – from this point of view I would tone down the attention on this aspect because it was something that we corrected. Salerno’s budget – he adds – is complex, important compared to the economic items that compose it and therefore there was a possibility of some mistakes which, I want to point out, was not a fake but an error that we recovered and fixed the next day.”

The organisation’s orientation now is certainly not to replace Picardi, not immediately at least. To the senior executives of the Municipality of Salerno, like all the staff, was asked for greater attention. The mayor’s employees, technicians and staff are now called upon to do common front to demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency.

«We will proceed as we proceeded – the mayor replies to those who ask him how we will start again after the farewell – We are not evaluating a replacement, the body of municipal managers is a body that manages to calmly support the life of the administration. Naturally we will reflect on whether it is appropriate to imagine a new one general manager or leave things as they are. We – he concludes – are lucky enough to have a general secretary of great prestige, the doctor Mennawhich is capable of overcome all difficulties that may eventually arise.”
