OBJECT.

***
The undersigned minority City Councilors report to Your Excellency that it has been 56 days since an ordinary City Council has been convened and held in Teramo in clear violation of all democratic principles relating to administrative transparency, the need for in-depth analysis of issues important for the city which cannot be treated randomly or spot-on but only publicly in the municipal meeting and as part of a strategic and overall vision.
This is very serious and worrying as it is part of a particular difficulty faced by the City and the Teramo community between the total absence of strategic vision, failure to take care of even the ordinary, works, including reconstruction and the Pnrr, blocked or carried out in biblical times, untrue announcements, decisive topics for the city not discussed, unresolved and perpetually postponed, cities and citizens on their knees and considerable economic damage.
To this it must be added that the so-called “question time” Councils (which have not been held for around forty days) are reduced to a sterile participation on the part of the municipal administration which, with an opinionated and contemptuous attitude, does not deign to respond fully and formally to the so many serious issues raised!
And, as if that wasn’t enough, 46 days have passed since the request of the undersigned minority councilors for the immediate convocation of the City Council for the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the serious and delicate judicial matter of the renovation works of the Municipal Cine-Theatre.
To this it must be added that council commissions are also rarely convened.
This, unfortunately, is the respect that the President of the City Council, the Mayor and the City Council of Teramo place towards citizens, councilors and democratic participation in institutions
In light of the above reasons, the undersigned minority City Councillors,
they ask
that the SVIll.ma Please intervene formally in the matter and warn, in the ways and terms you deem most appropriate, even with the possible exercise of substitutive power, the President of the City Council, the Mayor and the City Council of Teramo for the restoration of normal functioning and the correct and legitimate resumption of the democratic activity of the City Council.
With Observance and Respect
