“Capital of culture” event, the Municipality spends 4 thousand euros on the presenter. “Investment” for the city or for Ciriani?

PORDENONE – Five thousand euros to organize the evening. In themselves there aren’t many. If Pordenone were to realize its dream of becoming Capital of culture 2027, the revenue would be at least a thousand times higher. And then it is legitimate that a capital city can spend money to illustrate a complicated path that must be as participatory as possible 5 thousand euros for an event that in the idea of ​​those who organized it should galvanize the team. There are other doubts.

“The investment event”

The first of opportunity. Close to the European elections in which the mayor Alessandro Ciriani is the main candidate of Fratelli d’Italia, yesterday’s event could have the “taste” of a sort of investment for the electoral campaign. For goodness sake, the mayor doesn’t need these little tricks to bring home a few more votes and for this very reason the administration could have waited a few months before holding the big event to which the city’s cultural associations were invited. Also because the opposition forces had already reported on two other occasions this close assonance between major city events and the mayor’s electoral campaign. Why divide immediately on an objective that must be common?

Presenter and refreshments, all costs of the evening

In the 5 thousand euros there is also cash 3,806 which are the prerogative of the journalist Maria Grazia Lechleitner for voice-over work and connection of interventions. High level professional, nothing to say, but with a budget out of proportion compared to all the local journalists who scrape by every day for pennies. It takes them three, maybe four months to reach that figure. If she really had to be the one to present the event to be part of the team, then she could make herself available. For free. Finally, why even a refreshment, when the Municipality, rightly, hasn’t had one for years? Cost 1,700 euros including reception and organization of the spaces. Ial Fvg grant.
