“Contesting a communication campaign carried out on PSR tenders, 26 in total which opened in the same time window, means not believing in local information”. Thus the interim regional president Alessandro Piana in response to the Democratic Party’s question on the “Discover the active tenders of the PSR” campaign, presented today in the Regional Council by the group leader Luca Garibaldi. “If anything, we have a duty to make the tenders we open to support our agriculture accessible and increasingly immediate – continues Piana -. It is therefore impossible to share the question for immediate response from the Democratic Party, intended among other things by statute for topics characterized by particular urgency and political relevance, on a campaign dedicated to the promotion of calls for the Rural Development Program with very questionable disputes dating back to 2022. This is in the face of at least two profiles: that of urgency and that of political current affairs. In addition to this evidence, which does not even need further explanation, I would like to remind you that we have already responded to similar questions such as the recent IRA 218 of 2024″.
“Councilor Piana had put his face – literally – on the posters promoting the PSR tenders – moreover using 9 thousand euros of public funds – but the maneuver didn’t work, given that we are the last region in Italy to respond to the calls for the Rural Development Plan – Garibaldi’s reply -. I don’t think it’s due to the councilor’s face as a testimonial, but more generally to the fact that as councilor, Piana, he was unable to build a structure capable of managing tenders in the best possible way. We don’t need photos and campaigns, we need staff in the Department’s offices and a political management capable of responding and not making Liguria bring up the rear in the management of PSR tenders. Ever since the right has managed agricultural funds, the constant has been the same: always last and always late. Yet more proof of the political inability of the League and the Ligurian right.”
