A scandal which, beyond the criminal aspects, politically brings out a system «We need to build a liberation committee for Liguria, in a certain sense. So we need an even broader front, with a well-defined perimeter for all those who want to make a clear break with this system.”
Andrea Orlando, deputy of the Democratic Party, says this to Corriere della Sera regarding the future of the Liguria Region after the judicial investigation that is shaking up local politics. And to those who ask him if he is willing to run as governor of his Region, the Democratic Party representative replies: «We must all decide together who can best embody this project. I definitely want to be part of it, which is also why I gave up running in the next European elections. I make myself available. Let’s check which figure can create the broadest and most cohesive front.”
«It was evident – observes Orlando – how a predatory oligarchy, as I had defined it for some time, had taken over the Region. I was afraid it could end like this.” And to President Giovanni Totiwho ended up under house arrest as part of the investigation, the dem parliamentarian reproaches “the creation of an entrepreneurial, political and bureaucratic dome, which beyond the crimes, on which I will not comment, had expropriated the places of political decision-making”.
