Avellino
by Paola Iandolo
«I will gladly participate in the public debate called for by my competitor. It will be an opportunity to deny the many lies that Gengaro continues to tell, in an electoral campaign in which he has not used any other argument other than mud and inferences, compared to legitimate investigations by the judiciary that he would like to pass off as already definitive sentences . If nothing else, I hope that, at least on that occasion, he will change the unpleasant tone and approach that have characterized his outings in recent weeks.” This was declared by the candidate for mayor of the civic coalition composed of “We are Avellino”, “Really” and “Viva la Libertà”, Laura Nargi, who responds with great clarity to her competitor for the run-off, Antonio Gengaro.
«The theme, and this is the only point on which Gengaro is right, is where we want to take Avellino. – counterattacks Nargi – But the people of Avellino know it well. Our fellow citizens do not want to hand over the city into the hands of a political class that has already governed and failed several times, of a Democratic Party that is divided within itself, even more so after the last vote. That of the tunnel and the light rail. A Democratic Party – underlines Nargi – which saw the Municipality of Monteforte dissolved due to mafia infiltration, which accumulated more than 200 million euros in debts to Alto Calore, which left the regional public company Asidep and its workers bankrupt, with very dangerous environmental implications for the whole of Irpinia. A “wide field” that has nothing new, that is old and stale, that causes disasters wherever it governs, with an archaic vision of the city and no concrete proposals.”
«Gengaro is afraid and urgently calls a press conference to say the same things over and over again. – Nargi comments – Stop acting like a moralist. The investigations, and possibly the trials, will establish the judicial truth. But the political history of this province has already declared its failure and that of those who support it.”
