SANTA MARINELLA – The person who absolutely disagrees with the constitution of the new province is Clelia Di Liello, leader of the Future Coalition.
“Mayor Tidei – says Di Liello – is used to mocking his opponents instead of arguing in a serious and documented way and, on the question of the new province, he takes it out on me, ignoring that the document against the so-called Porta d’Italia is was signed by 13 councilors from various municipalities on the coast, including four councilors from Civitavecchia from the PD, or the Mayor’s party. The opposition document, in truth little disclosed except in the merely introductory part erroneously attributed only to the undersigned, explains in great detail the reasons for the no. The document first of all denounces the disconcerting race for approval in the City Councils without the population having become aware of the issue which radically changes the lives of citizens. Many municipalities that should have been part of it refused from the start, such as Montalto and Tarquinia and Monte Romano, but instead they left in the running, as it would seem also Allumiere and Tolfa and also Cerveteri due to the declared opposition expressed by the Mayor herself. The new province is really reduced to just over 200 thousand inhabitants, truly not self-sufficient to give life to the ambitious project proposed. The common thread that should link the port of Civitavecchia to Fiumicino airport is undermined by the fact that Fiumicino is competing with Civitavecchia for the creation of a new cruise port. Furthermore, the port and airport taxes on which the new province seems to have precise aims belong and will remain in Rome Capital. Civitavecchia and Fiumicino are the two large cities that have already begun to argue for the title of capital of the future province. The idea of the New Province exploits the ancient aspiration of Civitavecchia and the surrounding area to gain autonomy from Rome, when however things were different”.
