The issue, a few hours after the brawl in via Pozzo and the controversy that followed, could only end at the top of the agenda. And become the first topic on the agenda of the meeting that took place all morning yesterday, May 20th municipal majority: in the rented room at Villa Sant’Ignazio (“Aware of the symbolic value that this structure has for the city and for Trento, the capital of volunteering” he underlined the mayor Franco Ianeselli), the majority coalition discussed the events of recent days and the centre-right’s accusations. And on the vision of the city to be promoted.
Crime and security
«On the one hand – explained the mayor – there is one Trento, capital of volunteering, which looks to the future with large projects, from undergrounding to large-scale plants. Which tries to be European, which wants to be plural and contemporary. And on the other there is a rhetoric of decline, which is not good for the city.” The reference, clearly, is “to the propaganda” of the centre-right. With Brothers of Italy who once again attacked the mayor yesterday, asking «to assume his responsibilities in the face of the growing degradation and violence in the city». Thrusts to which the majority decided to respond yesterday. Compact: «We reject to the sender – we read in a joint note – the usual exploitations and simplifications of a pre-electoral flavor of the right. The contrast to organized crime, often coming from outside the city, and the protection of public order and safety is the responsibility of the Minister of the Interior of their government”. Not only that: reiterating their support for the mayor’s line, the majority councilors “remember that the municipal administration is engaged every day in an important substitute action, assigning local police officers to control functions in the area”.
The adjustment maneuver
But in the morning’s work at Villa Sant’Ignazio – which took place “in a good atmosphere”, the mayor specified – the majority also analyzed the adjustment maneuver, which will arrive in the budget committee on Monday 27 May. And which could be the last of the council, if the Region confirmed the decision to vote in May 2025. A document, the one analyzed by the government coalition, which provides 5 million for current spending and 25 million for investments. Inside, many decisions related to social and childhood. Like the reopening of the nursery at the Interporto “to deal with – the mayor clarified – the outstanding requests”. Or like the confirmation of the additional monthly payment for families who receive the supplementary contribution to the rent. On the front of worksthe commitment will be aimed in particular at sport, with a contribution from 8 million linked to the new swimming center and to Asis for other interventions. And again, the renovation of some play areas is planned (for example at Albere and in Piazza Garzetti), as well as the creation of a soft mobility path between the train station and the future intermodal hub of the former Sit.
Dolomites energy
Finally, a mention also of the question of Dolomites energy and the right of pre-emption relating to the 40% share of Hde. «For the Municipality of Trento, the fact of exercising the right of pre-emption – it has been said – will be linked to economic evaluations».
