A new face and three confirmations: this is the picture that emerges from the administrative election round which involved four municipalities in the province of Taranto.
He is the new mayor of Statte Fabio Spada. After more than fifteen years, the youngest municipality in the province sees the left go into opposition. «Let’s start again by listening to the citizens, who must reclaim the territory. Because we need to start again from the good of Statte and from the good we feel for Statte” declared the new mayor Spada, once the result was acquired. Hand extended to the opposition: «We must collaborate» he underlined «for the good of our community».
The result of the former village was perhaps the most awaited, in this administrative round in the Ionian province, after the traumatic conclusion of the previous council and the arrest among others of the former mayor Franco Andrioli – at the head of a centre-left council – in the context of the “Dominio” investigation, also focused on the alleged relationships between the mob and politics. As mentioned, the success of Spada, 51 years old, inspector of the State Police which he joined 25 years ago, with a degree in Law, marks a clear break at a political level for the Municipality: with his list Together we change Statteof a civic origin that looks towards the centre-right, has imposed itself on the representative of the centre-left Debora Artuso that with United for Statte it stopped at 2097 votes and up Luciano De Gregorio, Statte 2.0which received 1121 votes.
If Statte marked a change, continuity was chosen in the other centers in the Tarantino area. TO Carosino clear success for Onofrio Di Cillo, while a Faggiano Antonio Cardea was awarded. The count will be slowly counted on Monday Maruggiowhere Alfredo Longo still won.
That of Di Cillo it will be the second mandate: «This victory is more beautiful than the first, because it marks a confirmation. I like to define it as the victory of the people: ours is a “pure” civic list, untied to any party. The data says that it was almost a plebiscite »his words to Good evening Tarantodelivered this morning after the inauguration.
Third term instead, for TOAlfredo Longo in Maruggio. «The third mandate is an important possibility, which allows us to complete what we started in the previous councils» explains the latter, obviously satisfied with what he defines as «a great result» and a «demonstration of trust» on the part of his community . Maruggio itself will be affected by one of the most important investments in Puglia, that of resort ultra-luxury La Maviglia: two hundred million euros for a structure which, at least in intention, could make Maruggio a sort of “Savelletri dello Ionian”. «Even more» says Longo. «In reality, the investment projects in our territory, as regards tourism, are different. Clearly that of La Maviglia is the most important, given that it is among the most significant at a national level. In any case, Maruggio is regaining its vocation for quality tourism, and this is the most important thing. There is interest from entrepreneurs, and it is fundamental. And we as a public body have the task of accompanying and governing this process.”
Third mandate also for Antonio Cardea in Faggiano: «People have trusted us and we will continue on this path, aware that from today the commitment will be even stronger, if possible.”
