The ‘Manifesto for administrative elections’ that the Association of Industrialists presented a few days ago in view of the electoral competition for the position of mayor of Cremona continues to spark debate between the political parties.
“A document of absolute relevance,” he observes Alessandro Portesani candidate for the centre-right. “And I say this because many of the 12 points that compose it reflect, almost mirror-like, what our government program presented at the beginning of this electoral campaign is. A figure that certifies how our political coalition has hit the mark on the needs of the local productive and economic world”.
“There are six perfectly coincident points starting from role of the capital municipality”, explains Portesani. “We offer concrete proposals for ‘Great Cremona’, an urban agglomeration of around one hundred thousand inhabitants, maintaining the autonomy and number of current local authorities. In summary: Establishment of a permanent meeting and coordination table with the Mayors of Crema and Casalmaggiore. “District citizenship” for the management of services in the district; with particular reference to those of the social sector. Constitution of the Homogeneous Area of Cremonese”. Sharing of the one-stop shop for businesses (SUAP).
“Another fundamental chapter, that of infrastructure: development driver. The centre-right, Portesani explains further, is favorable to the construction of the Cremona-Mantua motorway, moving the center of gravity of Lombardy’s socio-economic development to the south, bringing it closer to Cremona. As regards the doubling of the Paullese, we will insist, until exhaustion, with the Region to carry out the project. We will monitor the livories of the railway doubling of the Mantua–Cremona–Codogno line, Cremona/Crema/Treviglio line. As for the Cremona ring roadin its extra-urban sections, we will put pressure on the Ministry for a quick transition under ANAS, and have a more streamlined management of the sections instead of municipal competence”.
Even the decoration of the historic center finds correspondence in the centre-right programme: “Piazza Roma with the recovery of the “montagnole” section, caretaker’s house, pagoda, playground, the aim is to include recreational, hospitality or commercial recreational activities; town square restoration of the arches of the municipal building and general maintenance of the flooring; Stradivari Squarelighting redesign and of urban greenery (rethinking a garden); Peace Squareredevelopment of furniture, flooring and lighting; Federico II Courtyard, strengthening lighting and adding urban greenery; redesign of central urban market aiming for quality.
These projects of ours regarding an attractive city are another strong chapter of the document” comments the centre-right mayoral candidate. “ And again: Viale Po redevelopment (linear entrance park) to restore authority to the entrance to the city; Fields Course; Corso Garibaldi and Piazza S. Agata insertion and maintenance of urban greenery; via Mantova cycle path review of dangerous sections and redevelopment of the area. All included in a long-term programmatic instrument.”
“On the topic of the fair: we have clear ideas. CremonaFiere Spa which is one of the assets of our territory capable of attracting extra-region and international visitors. What are the concrete proposals? Very strong support from the Municipality. Organization of large concerts in the covered structure. Planning of events in the city so as to also create events outside the salon. Enhanced spaces to transform it into a true Congress Center. Appointment of an ad hoc councilor for relations with Cremonafiere”.
“Perfectly agree on the creation of clusters”, highlights Portesani. “Agri-food, steel, cosmetics and mechanics are the four main sectors of the companies. We want to work so that the city can become the headquarters of the new Agrifood Cluster (now located in Lodi) precisely to relaunch the research/innovation action with a strong involvement of companies and universities in our territory”.
