ROVIGO – Free as the air, Roberto Magaraggia this time reflects on the dream books that the candidates in the administrative elections of the capital have already begun to write.
After the Saturday of the village dedicated to the Democratic Party of Rovigo in search of a testimonial who can make us forget the “image problems” (READ ARTICLE), Magaraggia concentrates on the many “electorate listening sessions”, especially in the hamlet.
“With the arrival of spring, Rovigheto is experiencing days full of light, and the voters are experiencing months of illusions. Which will vanish in June, after the night of San Giovanni, when the bright hours will decrease and deceptions will give way to reality.
Those who have already experienced multiple electoral events, and used their brain and memory, will be able to claim to have already experienced everything. Putting his mind at peace, like a snob, annoyed by the sailor promises of the candidates who will be raging from today to the vote, he looks and passes. Pretending to believe in the relaunch of the city, which everyone has proposed. Unlike those who believe it, unfortunately without pretending, and give in to the flattery of those who illustrate a Rovigheto where the best is yet to happen.
It is the “bus Sunday’s illustrated program” that will transport those who go to the polls to vote. The bus of desires, which will go in reverse. Loaded with promises and flattery, aimed mainly at gullible passengers who will be unloaded at the end of the panoramic tour, and then get back on the daily tram.
In the meantime, in the city and in the hamlets faces can be seen hanging on large posters. They are those of the candidates for mayors and city councilors. Ghana comes to mind, with which we don’t have much in common except illiteracy: in the African nation about a quarter of the inhabitants cannot read and write.
The same percentage of our functional illiterates, that is, those who have difficulty being adequately informed and prepared before casting their vote. What stratagem had they devised in the Gulf of Guinea to make voting more democratic? Print the faces instead of the symbols on the ballot papers. A literacy system that wouldn’t be bad if exported to Rovigheto.
Consider that the great Giotto, in the frescoes of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, adopted it to make the life of Jesus understandable to the illiterates of the 1300s. By relying on sight, it will be easier to affix a cross to the image, eliminating misunderstandings that will arise by crossing out party symbols.
Because one thinks of voting for Meloni, Salvini, Conte, Schein, Taiani, and then instead finds oneself elected on the spot as bad imitations” concludes Magaraggia.
