Florence, 20 June 2024 – Twelve requests to touch on the key themes of the Florence of tomorrow. Two minutes each to answer each question and three rights of reply of one minute each. Are these the rules of comparison which will be held in the two mayoral candidates Sara Funaro for the center-left ed Eike Schmidtcivic supported by the centre-right, tomorrow at 3.30pm in the editorial staff of La Nazione. It will be the last and perhaps decisive duel in view of ballot on 23 and 24 June, two days during which the Florentines will choose the name of who will sit for the next five years in the room of Clement IV governing the city. We remind you that the polls will be open on Sunday from 7am to 11pm and on Monday, St. John’s Day, from 7am to 3pm.
For this reason, the discussion organized by La Nazione could be useful for citizens to make a clearer idea of who to choose. The event, which will end at 5pm, it will be broadcast live on the La Nazione portals and the report will then be reported on paper in Saturday’s edition. The lead reporter will host it Erika Pontinisupported by journalists Emanuele Baldi And Antonio Passanese who will try to resolve the last doubts of the citizens and give the two challengers for Palazzo Vecchio a way to definitively present their program with a relative appeal to the vote. How to follow the comparison?
It will be enough connect from 3pm on the La Nazione web portal, www.lanazione.it and click on the live streaming which will last until 5pm. A possibility that our newspaper offers to readers and Florentines: that of following a key appointment that puts the seal on a long and hard-fought electoral campaign, especially in its final stage. Now, however, after weeks of verbal clashes and slogans, the time has come for questions and concrete answers on the future of a fragile and complex city like Florence.
The themes are the ones on which the candidates have faced each other in recent weeks: from the care of the iron to which Florence is subjected with infrastructures such as TAV and tramway which will soon ‘unite’ above and below the belly of Viale Lavagnini, but also the development of the Peretola airport, passing through the housing emergency and the security emergency that has increasingly erupted to disturb the sleep of Florentines.
Last but not least, the topic of Franchi’s future will be addressed after Fiorentina’s latest sensational move: an appeal to the civil court of Florence to ask for the restyling works to be blocked. But also the transport system, the care of greenery, the attention to the most fragile segments of the population. All open questions for which the Florentines await concrete commitments. It will then be up to the citizens to make a gesture of responsibility: go to the polls and exercise the right and duty to vote. Without forgetting that sovereignty belongs to the people and not going to vote means undermining Article 1 of the Constitution. By giving up that tiny, but fundamental, part of popular sovereignty that each of us deserves.
