PRATO – Six hundred people in Prato City for the presentation of the electoral program of Gianni Cenni, mayoral candidate supported by Fratelli d’Italia, Lega, Forza Italia, Italian Liberal Party, UDC, Noi Moderati Silli con Prato and civic list Gianni Cenni mayor. “Prato is changing pace, the city wants a change of pace and our proposal goes in this direction with great elements of strength: concreteness, feasibility, competence, knowledge”, said Gianni Cenni greeting the audience and greeting the undersecretary for foreign affairs, Giorgio Sillithe Honorable Chiara La Portathe party secretaries (Matteo Mazzanti of FdI, Francesco Cappelli of FI, Daniele Spada of the League, Enrico Mencattini of the UDC e Davide Mazzoni of the Pli).
“The electoral program is dense, full of proposals – said Gianni Cenni – 64 pages which are the result of the programmatic conference that involved the coalition in March and of the widespread listening campaign, which is still ongoing, which led us to meet citizens, entrepreneurs, economic, social and trade union categories, the world of volunteering and sport, schools, the Diocese, associations, workers, the cultural panorama. A door-to-door listening campaign, to understand each other.” An ideal embrace that involved the whole city: “It’s time to write a new social pact – he added – we need to bring together all the active and leading forces of the city and, together, write the new city statute for a complete and total sharing the directions and characteristics that we want to give to Prato to identify the solution to the problems and to intercept the lines of development of new opportunities. An open, inclusive, supportive, modern city, projected into the future, ready to take on challenges, in search of economic restructuring, in need of legality: a city with rights and duties, with clear rules for everyone, with mandatory and above all indispensable principles ”.
A great celebration in Prato City (a symbolic place for Prato textiles and today a modern structure of representative offices), an important event to show everyone the face of Prato in the coming years. Safety, health and decorum are the priorities to which other themes are added: the relaunch of the district with Prato as the capital of the ecological transition of the textile sector, tourism and culture which represent the new challenge, the valorisation of the world of volunteering, the protection of the hamlets understood as a territory and as a historical and cultural identity, the reorganization of the municipal machine.
“Healthcare on par with the second city in Tuscany and the third in central Italy, a city that today has an absolutely insufficient hospital and territorial response – concluded Gianni Cenni – a request for safety to which we respond with a reorganization and strengthening of the municipal police and with full collaboration with the police, a request for decorum and cleanliness to which we respond with an anti-degradation operational unit”. Alongside this, the projects: to make the area of the old hospital an educational park with a high level of usability, with a security and control unit represented by the new headquarters of the municipal police, equipped with an underground car park open to all; construction of a sports hall to also be used for events, concerts, exhibitions, meetings; an overall review of the road system with more fluid and orderly traffic and, with a view to alleviating traffic, the construction of the overpass along the ring road at Capezzana; the strengthening of separate waste collection with the gradual transition to smart bins; the creation of an exercise field for the civil protection system as a whole”. And again: historic center with a harmonization of the needs of residents, visitors and traders, infrastructure, urban planning, sports facilities, social. “It is not easy to condense an administrative proposal because the city is complex, because the requests continue to arrive in numbers beyond all expectations, the program is, like all things, perfectible. Let’s give the city the result of sharing, exactly as we set out to do from day one.”
