Livorno «In our program there is what emerged from the meetings not only between us political forces, but above all from the dialogue with the citizens». The candidate for mayor of Primo Polo Valentina Barale presents the Livorno that she would like to govern. The citizens will be the protagonists of the next government: the program envisages an assembly to be held every six months, to report on the administration’s work. And the Municipality’s budget will be participated directly by the people of Livorno. As? By investing in neighborhoods and local councils. Transparency will also be central. With the establishment of various observatories: against organized crime, «to remove the mafia from the city and the port», as well as the States General of the economy and labor. An observatory that can help businesses and workers. And through which the Municipality will have to monitor the working situation of women, the context of school-work alternation, and job insecurity. Livorno can no longer be self-sufficient: medium and long-term planning for the vast area is necessary. The Municipality must also implement a hiring plan, as well as re-internalise the currently external services. Young people are also central to the program: a social fabric must be created. To do this, it is necessary to think of the city as interconnected to the University of Pisa.
The First Pole’s proposal is to redevelop public housing into student dormitories. But all the people of Livorno must have a home: permanent tables must be set up for the right to live, supporting those who are unable to have a home. There is also space for culture: enough of the major events of the Lem foundation, which will have to deal more with research. More space must be given to events in the neighborhoods, through commerce. Barale takes the opportunity to criticize Mayor Salvetti, after underlining that the coalition starts from 34 percent: «he never wanted unity with us. We are the coalition with the most lists, we have really aggregated. He’s the one who didn’t want to leave the high chair.” L
