Cateno De Luca loses pieces in Taormina just one day before the start of voting for the European elections. Luca Manuli of Progetto Ricstruizione Taormina leaves it and it’s not a bolt from the blue but it certainly has perfect timing after the latest white-hot declarations of the leader of the Libertà list released in his live broadcast/rally yesterday in Taormina. Manuli’s choice measures the level of discomfort and discontent that is now evident even where there was consensus for an absent and now only part-time mayor for one of the most important tourist cities in Sicily. But it is interesting to read the motivations of Manuli who in a note to the press writes “In recent months I have made my own, and expressed, first the hopes and then the doubts harbored by the citizens, I respect the choices of this administration”, doubts evidently fallen into the void of the silence of the mayor of Taormina, busy throughout Italy in his eternal electoral campaign. “However, I do not think it is correct – continues Manuli in the note – to attribute the responsibilities of this first year of mayorship to ‘councillors and experts who do what they want’, as we often hear from the citizens of Taormina and as the Mayor himself has ” alluded to” during the rally called for the European elections, also because this reasoning would imply that a leader of a party that aspires to have a role on the national scene has lost control of the action
administration of his council”.
“I discussed this choice with the PRT group, which I represent – continues Manuli – and in light of all the facts and events that have marked and given a clear idea of the modus operandi of this administration, we agreed that this was such a natural step , how painful. In fact, let it be clear that PRT remains profoundly at odds with the choices of past administrations, which with errors and superficiality marked a political-administrative season that needed to be closed. Nonetheless, the much feared change certainly cannot be the one we experienced in this first year of De Luca’s Mayorship”.
