Toti list, Bozzano: “The growing Liguria painted as a disaster”

“A theory (also used in a distorted way) rather than the reality of objective data. A very long-term analysis (50 years) to demonize the last nine years. Titles that express the exact opposite of the numbers certified and expressed in the texts. The last frontier of the media attack on Giovanni Toti and the Liguria Region has served its purpose. The barrage of desperation takes shape with reports which, despite the full right of each newspaper to publish what it deems most appropriate, qualify its reliability and impartiality”. Thus the Toti List, with the group leader in the regional council Alessandro Bozzano, comments on the publication of some press articles which intend to present a negative economic situation in Liguria and completely in contrast with the real data.

“Today it is really sad to see the research work of a university professor who started in 1973 to describe the decline of a Region governed until 9 years ago by the left be interpreted as proof of the failure of the Toti councils, which instead reversed this trend A text that never refers to the responsibilities of the last administration, serves to paint a Liguria in disarray. It is serious to read the interpretation of the analysis of the Bank of Italy, which once again certifies the growth of the Ligurian indicators, through a title that expresses a negative assessment. The parameters of Liguria are growing, they continue to be higher than those of the Italian average and of the North West, but the focus is on the fact that the increase is less strong than last year, which is absolutely normal afterwards. years of positive signs. Where there is some slight decline as in the case of some port traffic, in the text it must be admitted that Liguria’s performance is better than the rest of the country and that the cause lies in a global economic slowdown, whereas in the headlines only the decline is enhanced. We understand that it is difficult to republish the same interceptions for the tenth time in an attempt to make them appear as fresh news of the day and new “proof” of Toti’s guilt. But honestly, the presentation of positive objective data as a symbol of failure really seems to us to be an exercise that goes beyond any respect for the reader”, concludes Alessandro Bozzano.
