Subject: run-off elections June 21, 2009.
In view of the runoff to be held on June 21 I consider it appropriate, as a candidate for Mayor the center in the first round of elections, to demonstrate a reasoned approach in order to clarify some items of possible agreements, in whatever form, with the mayoral candidate Dr. Vincenzo Della Corte and Mr. Louis Galiano.
The results of the first round where I was a candidate in open disagreement with the coalition of "moderate" converging on the figure of the President of Confindustria Brindisi confirmed unequivocally the position of the PD but not fawning over foreign policy choices and strategies to its identity and still which have developed primarily because of the consent of old people and power groups that exhibited the ability to "dominate" any container policy chosen, significant sectors of the electorate.
Moreover, the UDC in Europe stood at a consensus very insufficient to invoke the desired formation of a third pole moderate. And therefore
locally, waiting for that third prong, or perhaps more realistically the possible implosion of the PDL resulting in replacement of its leadership, it is clear the intention of the UDC "bargain" with the high bidder roles and positions of government.
If proof were needed is shown to be illusory political laboratory of the much trumpeted the effects of which are state of the heavy losses in the center of forces agreement and in particular of PD that can be recognized a mere function of "lady in waiting" even well-paid employment because of his services first and foremost a decision to exclude any attempt to create a real alternative in politics is not even aware that 2 +2 always equals 4.
E 'certain is that the desire not to disturb the new "leader maximo" which required the contribution of the decisive Senator Curtis and Mr Poli Bortone has produced not only the breakdown of any relationship between the political forces of the center but resulted in the disappearance of an opposition in the City Council numerically valid, credible and clear because it does not mired in the past or recent events administrative operations of pure power.
Ciò tanto più ove il PD decidesse di apparentarsi con il candidato Luigi Galiano o decidesse di appoggiarlo in forme surrettizie pur di salvare una ormai compromessa dignità politica.
Per tali ragioni ritengo personalmente di confermare ogni scelta compiuta e per tali motivi il 21 giugno non mi recherò alle urne, salva la decisione di esprimermi solo sui quesiti referendari. Ciò proprio per neutralizzare ogni possibile tentativo di strumentalizzazione o di millantare inesistenti accordi o attenzioni privilegiate.
Ed in tal senso invito a comportarsi gli elettori che non intendono parteggiare sia per l’uno sia per l’altro dei candidati.
E’ altresì legittimo recarsi alle urne ritirando le schede e consegnarle immediatamente not get into the cab.
also been right to vote is the only calling card to express their will on the referendum questions.
not exist, precisely because of the well-known events that have affected Francavilla in these 14 years, any principle or logic of the lesser evil to justify agreements or incestuous relationships politically.
E 'only misleading and false to hide behind alleged commitments necessary to give the coup de grace to one or other of those responsible for disaster "Francavilla" in view of the function of the runoff to the outcome of which a substantial portion will succumb. If the responsibilities are clear and involve both sides in the game is no justification for any cheer!
A different behavior would be attributed only to the logic of power that would harm what remains of the dignity and often overt political diversity of the forces of the center.
On behalf of myself and those who supported him, but to counter the assertion of the alleged new political laboratory, it is justified and consequential rooting for Dr. Saccomanno's Court and the candidate and, if desired, "bargain" with their political points of reference. But it can be.
's still possible to believe in a politics of dignity and virtuous and avoid falling into the cauldron of those who pursue only private interests or, worse still, be considered a retired villain?
As for me, and if you decide to continue the administrative experience, I must do, within the limits of human possibility, the role that the electorate has given me formally and in accordance with the will expressed by 3,019 citizens who have courageously expressed their confidence at the point of voting considered the logic now prevailing and strong "constraints" suffered in relation to which the test is, unfortunately, occurred in a blatant and shameless even in the seats. And it was the 1st round!
What I think is representative also expressed the will of the coalition that supported me and thank for the estimation and l’apporto offerto.
