After the comparison between the mayoral candidates and the presentations of the various electoral programs, the ball now passes to the citizens of Sanremo. The air you breathe in the streets of the Matuzian city is not the best. There are many residents who do not agree with what the outgoing municipal administration has done to date, just as there are many people who feel distrust towards what the six candidates have presented in this election campaign.
“Sanremo should go back to the seventies, which was very beautiful and clean.” explains a lady along via Matteotti, resident in the Matuzian city for 12 years. “Sanremo has changed a lot. I have been going there since 1975. The change has been enormous. Unfortunately, people have also changed.”
There are those who want to return to the glories of the past and those who instead dream of a new Sanremo, a point of reference for tourists and with the new generations at the center of their projects. “He must have a vision of the future and not just think about potholes, because everyone is capable of filling potholes and asphalting them”explains a citizen. “We need to have a vision of the Sanremo of 2050, which must compete with Nice and the big cities. A modern city that leaves no one behind. Criticalities? There are many, but there is certainly a lack of a systematic assistance plan and then we need to take a look at young people and their future, particularly with regards to work. The Municipality cannot make contracts with cooperative companies that do not apply contracts and minimum wages for young people, given that they are our future. They cannot emigrate, they must stay and grow in our city, which has so much potential.”
Added to these are other comments, always collected along the central arteries of the Matuzian city: “The problem of Sanremo? I immediately think about the potholes,” says a resident between via Matteotti and via Gaudio. “Then it’s a dirty city.” Statement that another citizen agrees with. “Sanremo must improve its cleanliness, in my opinion it is the worst thing in the city”.
There is also no shortage of comments on the Rivieracqua case, which in recent days continues to hold sway in Sanremo and beyond. For the majority of those interviewed by Sanremonews it’s about “a situation poorly managed, both by the administration and by the private sector”. For residents, in fact, “Public water is a common good, it is not correct that citizens always pay companies’ debts”.
