REGGIO EMILIA – “Reggio Emilia, our beloved city, is no longer what we once knew. We live in a distorted reality, where it seems that normality has become a distant memory. Reggio Emilia has become the perfect stage for a zombie walk, with the streets once full of life now deserted and the shops closing one after the other”.
Lorenzo Melioli, Fdi candidate for the city council, writes it. The former president of Confagricoltura continues: “The people who yesterday animated the streets and neighborhoods of the city have moved elsewhere, leaving behind an increasingly ghostly city. Families prefer the neighboring municipalities, the centers on the outskirts of the city. But what are we seeking refuge from? It’s a question that many are asking, while the void becomes more and more evident. The real estate market data speaks clearly: transfers to the province and hilly areas are increasing, while Reggio Emilia risks turning into a dormitory by the hour, with only people passing through, who give up experiencing the city”.
Melioli writes: “The risk of seeing entire neighborhoods depreciated is real, and we can no longer ignore it. As responsible citizens, we must act now to reverse this trend and bring life and vitality back to the streets of our Reggio. The “city of people” has become “the city of people who prefer to live in Albinea”. What answers should we give to all those families who have decided to settle in
Reggio to live and work and who today, with mortgages and sacrifices behind them, find themselves
to live in a city that continues to turn its face the other way, not to see
the emergency, to refer to crime and delinquency as fanciful
perception?”.
Melioli concludes: “For this reason, I am running for the City Council of Reggio Emilia with Fratelli d’Italia. I want to be the voice of change, bringing forward concrete proposals to restore dignity and prosperity to our city. We need plans dedicated to the elderly, fragile and lonely people, we need policies that welcome families into a safe and sustainable city, with a few fewer shopping centers and with more attention to the critical issues that have led us, year after year, to the chaos that today it is there for all to see. What’s the point of not changing now? I invite you to join me in this mission and vote for a better future for Reggio Emilia.”
