The pairing, announced immediately after the first round, was not enough, which Municipal workshop did with the coalition of Giulia Robol, interpreted by many voters and electricians as a “betrayal” compared to what was announced several times during the election campaign, which today in a Trentino media the former mayoral candidate Michele Dorigotti announces “We’re not aiming for seats.”
Well, this statement does not come by chance but follows the articles of recent days with the whole council which obviously represents the real test for the newly elected mayor, grappling with the legitimate expectations of the parties who supported her from the first moment and who then, after the first round, were weakened by the agreement with Officina Comune, the Democratic Party losing 4 councilors and 2 out of 5 Campobase with the outgoing councilor Previdi shown the doorwithout forgetting Dorigotti’s anything but tender tones during the election campaign.
It is more than obvious that Officina can ask for 2 departments with 15% of the vote, the second force of the coalition, ahead of Campobase and Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra.

But there are a maximum of 7 seats on the council, in addition to the mayor, so how can we also please them Autonomists from Gamberoni and Rovereto Libera now represented in the Council by Waseem Asghar?
Dorigotti’s exit was clearly agreed with the mayor after all the hypotheses accredited two departments for Officina and also the role of deputy mayor for the “Prodigal Son” Dorigotti: this entails, however, that the Democratic Party or another of its allies loses the department.
Better to have Dorigotti say that they have never asked for seats like this Officina Comune will be satisfied with just one and so I manage to please others too.
Therefore two councilors in the Democratic Party, in addition to the mayor: who will be sacrificed between Miorandi, Cossali and the secretary Fait, still third in preference? Only one for Officina Comune, which due to the numbers and support in the second round would certainly deserve two, and they lived happily ever after… who knows.
Regarding the possible appeal of Sovereign and Popular Democracy against the interpretation of the Trentino-Alto Adige Region on the assignment of 21 councilors out of 32 to the coalition of the elected mayor, also the list “We Rovereto He Mayor” supports the need to clarify things as soon as possible, sharing the opinion that assigning 65% of the councilors to the majority instead of the 60% required by law is absolutely penalizing for the same democratic functioning of the civic assembly: Assigning 20 to the majority and 12 to the minorities would easily guarantee governabilityà and would restore greater decision-making power not only to the entire Council but also to the majority councillors, guaranteeing a lesser imbalance which is absolutely evident today.
