Convergences on some themes, the comparison of Andrea Virgilio with Maria Vittoria Ceraso, Ferruccio Giovetti and Paola Tacchini. No relation but ready for a democratic confrontation with these realities. Here are Virgil’s statements
“In recent days I have met the mayoral candidates Maria Vittoria Ceraso, Ferruccio Giovetti and Paola Tacchini, and I also asked Angelo Frigoli of Alternativa Comunista for a discussion. The reasons start from the need for a comparison on the respective programs to evaluate possible points of convergence , common sensitivities and future collaborations on issues considered fundamental by all, but also to respect the Cremonese electorate who in the first round of these administrative elections chose to support not me, but their visions and proposals.
Several common elements emerged with Maria Vittoria Ceraso, in particular the possibility of collaboration on matches concerning young people, childhood and adolescence policies and services to support families. A complex area, which also draws my attention a lot, considering the challenges of a city like ours which must open up to the new generations through an increasingly adequate public offering and through decisive investments in the education sector. In the coming years, Cremona will increasingly become a university city: the objective – also shared by the ‘Today for Tomorrow’ list – will be to build a truly student-friendly city, not only with a richer educational offer but also through spaces, projects and services that can accompany the journey of new generations. Furthermore, in giving attention to young people, we cannot ignore a greater investment in collaboration with oratories and with other educational realities that exist in the city.
With Ferruccio Giovetti the agreement was above all on the issues of security, deeply felt by the people, and on the resources to be invested in terms of new technologies and personnel to guard the territory, giving the right value to our local police, to the work of the agents and their role within the community. Also at the center of the convergence is trade, the intention to allocate additional resources to shops and artisan workshops and the possibility of intercepting new tenders through the Urban Trade District, in support of the local economy.
The meeting with Paola Tacchini and her delegation of candidates, however, focused above all on environmental challenges and the ecological transition. In the awareness that there are elements of diversity on some points, as far as I’m concerned there is full commitment to opening a constructive and truly participatory discussion on the issue of energy communities and renewable energy. We both underlined the importance of a discussion table with the environmentalist realities of the territory on these great challenges that Cremona must want to face with conviction. We also appreciated their attentive and constructive opposition approach, always in favor of dialogue on the challenges that also affect our city.
In light of a coalition that will have to increasingly open up to democratic confrontation with the various political and civic forces of the city, we are ready to collaborate with everyone and to open an administrative season based on interlocution with these realities by coherently integrating the program with the which we have applied for.”
