Here’s who governs the city… – Viterbo – After criticism from workers’ organizations for the mayor’s statements and the day after Uil’s announcement of a sit in Piazza del Plebiscito against the mayor

The mayor Chiara Frontini
Viterbo – Chiara Frontini convenes CGIL, CISL and UIL. The meeting request sent to the unions yesterday afternoon.
A call that comes after harsh criticism from workers’ organizations and the day after Uil announced a sit-in against the mayor, scheduled for next Monday in Piazza del Plebiscito, for Frontini’s statements against the general secretary Giancarlo Turchetti and municipal employees.
The general secretary of Uil Viterbo Giancarlo Turchetti
“I hereby – writes Frontini to the trade union organizations – ask you for a meeting in relation to the recent debate about productivity and the evaluation system within the municipal administration, in order to hopefully reach a shared position on the topic. You are therefore invited to the municipal building in via Ascenzi 1 on 14 June 2024 at 12pm to discuss the topic in question”.
“On this occasion – continues the mayor – we will be able, if the conditions are met, to sign the minutes relating to the last monitoring meeting of the memorandum of understanding of last May 17th, as approved by all in the shortest possible way”.
Viterbo – Stefania Pomante, CGIL provincial secretary
“That idiot Turchetti from Uil…”, stated the mayor at dinner with councilor Marco Bruzziches on the evening of 26 September. Also at the table were Frontini’s husband, Fabio Cavini, and the councilor’s wife, Anna Maria Formini.
Turchetti’s fault? Having reiterated more than once that Uil has left Corso Italia, where it has been for about forty years, because the historic center is unlivable. All in black and white in the transcription of the Viterbo prosecutor’s office of the recording made at the home of councilor Marco Bruzziches during the dinner on 26 September last year.

Prosecutors Massimiliano Siddi and Chiara Capezzuto have requested that Frontini and Cavini be sent to trial on charges of threatening a political body in competition. After a complaint from Bruzziches, after the dinner on September 26, and the investigations that followed. The hearing before the Gup Giacomo Autizi is scheduled for November 21st, in via Falcone e Borsellino, Palace of Justice. The prosecutors had also asked for immediate judgment, which was rejected by investigating judge Rita Cialoni.
The mayor’s statements against Turchetti is just one of the reasons that will bring the union to the streets next Monday. The other reason is what Frontini said regarding municipal employees, defined “human material to be thrown away”, at least for 50% of them. To then escalate the issue at the city council meeting on May 30th.

Presumption of innocence
In the Italian criminal system the presumption of innocence applies until the final sentence. Presumption of innocence which is based on article 27 of the Italian constitution according to which a person “is not considered guilty until finally convicted”.
