Riccardo Vannetti, what do you expect from this second round?
“A clear result that demonstrates the trust of citizens. I met thousands of people from Colle: around our project, based on efficiency, transparency and care, a hard-working Colle came together, attentive to environmental issues and the defense of the common good; capable of reflecting on the present, but also and above all of projecting oneself into the future”.
If he loses, will he remain in opposition in the city council?
“The Vannetti Mayor project does not concern me as a person, but the entire community. We have channeled the best energies and forces, building a program of concrete actions. Our opponents have built a defamatory campaign, we have built a project for the future”.
Where will he start from if he is mayor?
“In the first six months, the ordinary maintenance plan will be drawn up, to quickly overcome the state of neglect in which some parts of the city find themselves. A careful analysis of the municipal machinery will be carried out to make it immediately more modern and efficient. Furthermore, a office to raise public funds”.
Did you change your mind about Colle and the people of Colle during the election campaign?
“Yes, very much. I found affections that I didn’t think were yet so strong and who offered me their collaboration. I met young people who were committed and had great civic sense, above all with the desire to live in a different, less aggressive and more supportive society “.
Especially in the final part of the electoral campaign there were many attacks and clashes. His comment?
“I have always tried not to fuel the conflict. Let’s not confuse the episodes of discrimination and hatred of which I was subjected with the political attacks on my opponent. The latter referred to unclear events in his political and administrative past and were founded on documents and public deeds”.
There is talk of acts against his car too…
“No comment”.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of your competitor?
“The advantage is that he was able to raise a lot of funds for his electoral campaign. The flaw is that he didn’t renew himself. It’s not a question of age: it’s not Piero Pii who’s old, it’s his ideas about politics and administration.”
