Sandro Ruotolo in Avellino to support Antonio Gengaro’s candidacy for mayor
When asked about the judicial matter concerning the Municipality of Avellino, Ruotolo responds by broadening the picture to other areas of Italy where similar cases have occurred: “The moral question in the political sphere is a deeply felt and current issue. Just think of today’s news which involves the Liguria Region with Toti under house arrest for corruption, as well as the investigation which involved Piedmont and Puglia. I hope that politics will deal with this before the Judiciary intervenes”.
“The political fact to highlight regarding the Liguria affair – underlines the journalist and member of the Democratic Party secretariat – is that these are protagonists who support the introduction of differentiated autonomy. I hope that today’s investigation can sound like a tombstone because imagine in a situation like today, where there are no controls, what would happen with a greater possibility of spending for the rich. I hope that what is happening makes the political forces in Parliament think. Unfortunately, there is malfeasance everywhere, without distinction between left and right, and it is a problem that affects everyone.”
Ruotolo does not stop at the moral question and the investigations, he also talks about his progressive vision, the same one that in his opinion should direct Antonio Gengaro, if he were elected first citizen by the Avellines, towards an administrative project that aims at ecological transition, at a on a human scale, infrastructure development, fiscal progressivity, solidarity. “The European and municipal elections are a turning point – reiterates the former senator – I like the Europe that we have known during the pandemic, the Europe of the PNRR, which understands the need to intervene in the fragile situations of the South of With differentiated autonomy, however, we would have Italy divided between rich regions and poor regions. This is why voting is important and that voters choose the side that is in opposition to the right at a national level and that here with Antonio Gengaro. , can claim an operation of transparency, especially by addressing issues that affect the city. I hope that among the first measures he will take will be the municipal minimum wage and that he will deal with ecological transition in the land that represents the heart of the greenery of the city. Campania. We also invest in tangible and intangible infrastructures”.
