Rosellina Madeo and Marinella Grillo between the Presidency of the City Council and the new Executive. Former councilors awaiting “promotion”
CORIGLIANO-ROSSANO – The new town Council of the city emerged from the administrative elections of last 8 and 9 June which saw the re-elected Mayor Flavio Stasi (photo on the right) for his second consecutive term, will meet next Tuesday 9th July, at 5pm, to elect the president and vice-president of the same civic assembly.
Not only that. Yes, because among the items on the agenda established by the mayor (who by law is responsible for the first convocation of the Council) in the notice of convocation that was notified today to all 24 municipal councilors elected and proclaimed 11 days ago, there is also the one relating to the appointment of the new municipal council.
The Presidency of the Municipal Council and the Formation of the New Board
I am intense hours and daysthese, for the mayor, precisely in view of the launch of the executive that will support him from now until the next few years.
Days and hours of meetings and gatheringsappointments more or less reserved and obviously dedicated to the formation of the “team” of administrators which he will want to equip himself with.
Stasi is also meeting and reuniting with the 15 majority councilors elected in the 8 lists that supported him, Lorena Vulcano, Salvatore Tavernise and Tonino Uva (United for Stasi list); Rosellina Madeo, Giuseppe Fusaro and Costantino Baffa (Free City list); Liliana Zangaro and Leonardo Trento (Corigliano-Rossano list clean); Marinella Grillo and Cesare Sapia (future Corigliano-Rossano list); Francesco Madeo and Gianfranco Costa (Blue Sea list); Lydia Sciarrotta (5 Star Movement); John Baptist Leonetti (Greens-Italian Left); Joseph Candreva (Democratic party).
Almost none of them – at least according to the rumors of the last few hours – should be called by Mayor Stasi as a member of his Council.
Councilor Rosellina Madeo
The exception could concern only one of Little Rose Madeo e Marinella Grillowhose names are both in the running to be chosen as an indication of the council majority for the Presidency of the City Council. A “runoff” that began this evening, during the second plenary meeting of the council majority with Mayor Stasi, which at the end was adjourned until tomorrow.
The “non-chosen” between the two as the leading figure of the civic assembly could go on to hold the position of councilor in the Stasi Council.
Councilor Marinella Grillo
Other members of the new executive could include some of the outgoing councilors.
The question at this point is:
Who will be “promoted” by Stasi, between Damiano Viteritti, Tatiana Novello, Alessia Alboresi, Marisa Salimbeni, Mauro Mitidieri and Costantino Argentino?
The first four – all candidates for the City Council – they were not electedWhile the latter two even preferred not to submit to the judgment of citizen-votersand now they await the “judgment” of the mayor who was re-elected and with broad popular consensus.
The former communist mayor of Corigliano returns as deputy mayor after 32 years
Sweet at the bottomthe real news of the day is represented by Stasi’s choice of the person who – from what has emerged – could be his deputy:
it’s about the highly esteemed former mayor of Corigliano Giovanni Pistoia, 75 years olda fine and appreciated man of culture, writer and poet, who held the office of mayor 32 years ago, in 1992, after having been councilor for Public Education and Culture.
Professor Pistoia, a former member of the Italian Communist Party, the Democratic Party of the Left and the Democrats of the Left, for many years now he has belonged to that world of the cultural left, but without party membership cards.
His last political electoral commitment was his candidacy for the European Parliament in the 2009 elections on the Communist Refoundation Party list.
John Pistoia
That year in which the constituted majority of the Corigliano city council chose him as mayor (in 1992 there was not yet the law on the direct election of mayors, which arrived just over a year later) Pistoia was characterized by its moral intransigence and by the fight against corruption and the excessive power of the ‘ndrangheta in those years.
In 2003 it was done promoter of the establishment of the municipal cultural foundation named after Carmine De Lucaa fine essayist, journalist and scholar of children’s literature from Corigliano who lived in Rome between the 1980s and 1990s, and who died prematurely at the age of 54, in 1997. Pistoia was the first president of the “Carmine De Luca Foundation”. The former mayor of Corigliano – who between yesterday and today was seen “talking” at length in front of the Cgil Labor Chamber – he would have expressed his availability to Mayor Stasi to his return to active politics and to the municipal institution through administrative delegations in the newly formed Municipal Council, which could be that of Culture and not only, considering his previous, albeit distant, experience as mayor and councilor.
