“We have already transferred 15 million euros to the Ministry, today with the approval of the 2023 financial statement we are ready to send another 6 million and 125 thousand euros of administrative surplus to the Extraordinary Liquidation Body. Thanks to the simplified bankruptcy procedure, which allowed us to bring the debt to 50 percent through a civic pact made with the citizens, the financial disaster into which the city was plunged is almost completely archived. It is real money, not the result of loans and bills to be paid by our young people at the risk of mortgaging their future. It is the natural conclusion of a virtuous path that will lead Casoria to be free, free to invest for development, with no more budget constraints, no more ballast. It’s the beginning of a new era.” She said it Giuseppe Barrapresident of the II Budget, Taxes, Economic Development and Heritage Commission of the Municipality of Casoria (Na), as part of today’s council meeting with the first item on the agenda being the approval of the “management report and the financial statements of the management for the financial year 2023”, dismissed by the assembly with the abstention of the Pd and M5S.
“As many of you will know – councilor Giuseppe Barra declared in the chamber – I have been a champion of the simplified bankruptcy procedure. Many of you will remember it from having heard it several times from my own voice in this very room and from the beginning, from the installation of the City Council. The collapse was and is the only way to restart Casoria. In fact, what would the risk have been if we had not chosen this path: a ‘robbery’ to the detriment of our children, our grandchildren, the future Casori citizens. Debt upon debt. Loans, mortgage services denied. This is why we chose the path of recovery, five years ago now. Not linear cuts, tears and blood, but a careful check of uncollected revenues, a remodulation of tariffs, a cut in political costs, a new and more modern management of the budget and of the municipal machinery”.
