If Wednesday’s council turns into a count on whether the majority will hold, the numbers could please the mayor Carlo Marino. The request to proceed immediately reshuffle to widen the majority on the left risks remaining a dead letter due to the tight deadlines for the approval of the final balance and the desire to wait for the interrogations of Massimiliano Marzo and Emiliano Casale. An acceleration, what the Dem commissioner would like Susanna Camusso, impossible to achieve. Therefore, a no is expected in the chamber on Wednesday Raffaele Giovinewho has already expressed himself publicly in this sense, and that of Matteo Donisi.
THE REUNION
The balance that emerged from the first weekend following the explosion of the investigation by the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Prosecutor’s Office could be changed by the meeting scheduled today between all the majority groups that will meet councilor Gerarda Martino to take stock of accounting. At the moment the centrist groups ensure their presence and their vote in favor of the budget. A yes will also come from half of the Democratic Party (Giovanni Comunale and Andrea Boccagna) while the only already justified absentee is Roberta Greco who is busy organizing her wedding scheduled for June 21st.
The independents Here And Guide they remain the only ones who have not taken an official position after the warnings. Even wishing to admit the risk of 3/4 “strategic” absences, the majority could find comfort in the absences of the minority councillors. In fact, the centre-right’s pressure has started to be strong on civic groups (particularly on the left) accused of being close to the administration. The watershed is drawn by the group leader of the Brothers of Italy Paul Santonastaso who launches the appeal to the majority councilors (and minority civic leaders) to throw away the mask.
THE REACTIONS
«The final budget will be approved on Wednesday. It’s about the act politic–administrative for excellence. In other words, whoever approves it or whoever decides to snub this appointment by not showing up will declare to the city that they agree with the line of the Marino administration. I invite – says Santonastaso – to stop hiding behind “we will do, we will say, we will change”, the citizens are watching us and have understood well that those who want to keep this council alive are only doing so for their own gain, because perhaps they want to wait for the right moment to return to vote. For the good of the Caserta people – he concludes – the time has come to pull the plug on this dying administration.”
To clarify that there will not be his vote in favor of the final budget Romolo Vignola: «Ours would have been a no against even if nothing had happened – he maintains, also clarifying the position on a possible involvement of the PSI in the area of government – it seems a bit premature to talk about it. I believe that the current majority must evaluate the situation in light of what happened and the results achieved by the administration, which for me are disappointing. If we discuss building a centre-left new that involves and enhances all the reformist forces, the PSI will do its part.”
The hope, however Vignolais that those involved will soon clarify their ignorance of the facts: «Governing is difficult and I hope that for the next council they will choose competent people And without parallel interests. If I had been under investigation I would have resigned immediately but this is a position that concerns people’s consciences, what is unacceptable is the double standard of the centre-right which wants shot in Piazza Marzo and Casale and talks about the governor Toti as if he were kidnapped by the judiciary. Balance is needed in all things.”
To remind Vignola that absence from the chamber does not mean a vote against the administration Pasquale Napoletano which reinforces the position of the group leader: «They will have to be present and express a clear vote against this administration because the absences, especially of the minority, are only a help». The centre-rightdespite having to profess a “genetic” guaranteeism, tries to take advantage of the situation to put the majority and the mayor Carlo Marino. In the morning he will be the group leader of Forza Italia Donato Aspromonte to register, with the signatures of the coalition councilors, the request for an extraordinary council to ask the mayor to explain what is happening and how he intends to overcome this difficult phase.
