The announcement made by Alessandro Portesani during the debate in the town square regarding the first names of his possible future council did not fail to arouse reactions from the political counterpart. The first to intervene was Roberto Galletti, city secretary of the Democratic Party: “With the revelations about his possible council, the right-wing mayoral candidate not only buries his civic profile but definitively destroys the idea of a real proposal for news” he attacks.
“In fact, it reveals a subdivision by the parties (worthy of the first Republic), one name per party and no particular competence. Above all, the name of Jane Alquati stands out as she suggests the worst part of the centre-right council we have already seen, the same one that raised fees and emptied nursery schools, as well as having become the standard-bearer of the grotesque pseudo-identity battle against couscous in canteens .
The vagueness of his program and his continued continuation of proposing real miracles for the city without a minimum of concreteness regarding how much an Administration can actually spend, demonstrates great unpreparedness and a superficial attitude which for Cremona would only be negative.
We, with Andrea Virgilio, aim to bring credible projects that can really improve the city from all points of view and above all stay close to the people: young working adults and the elderly who need it. The centre-left for Cremona is first and foremost this. Virgilio is the perfect synthesis of responsibility, experience, credibility and plan for the future.”
On the city council front, the leader of the Democratic Party, Roberto Poli, instead spoke. “Professor Anna Maramotti Politi’s positions regarding the future of our historic center are well known” he underlines.
“It has expressed itself several times in the direction of making interventions on buildings more rigid and binding. The risk is therefore that of plastering building interventions aimed at redeveloping areas and homes to make them more usable, to allow interventions aimed at making the properties safe.
In a scenario that should see cities grappling with the challenge of the energy transition, positions aimed at banning photovoltaic panels on the roofs of our homes would lead not only to missing the challenge of a city that is more attentive to the environment, but also to make our historic center less attractive.
His proposal to bind the entire historic center of Cremona entails enormous risks for the future of our city. His opposition to placing events and concerts in the heart of Cremona in the name of an ideological and dangerous conservatism would in fact lead to the reduction of initiatives capable of attracting people and tourists” concludes Poli.
