“Appeal to the judicial authority against the Piedmont Region to obtain the annulment and / or reform of the resolution of the Regional Council relating to the identification of the pilot project presented by the Municipality of Elva”. Thus reports the resolution approved today (Wednesday 13 April) by the municipal council of Ostana, which gave the mayor Silvia Rovere a mandate to “stand in court” against the decision of Palazzo Lascaris to assign Elva the candidacy of “flag project” for the Piedmont under the «Borgo dei Borghi» tender.
A measure that assigns 20 million euros to 21 candidates for each Region or Autonomous Province, through the funds of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr), but only to the first classified. That is, Elva, winner of the “manifestation of interest” reopened by the Region after an avalanche of protests for the initial, unilateral choice of Stupinigi, then diverted to the “major projects” of the Ministry of Culture.
18 realities had participated in the call, with Elva first at 84 points, Ostana finished second by only 2 lengths and who, by regulation, will not see a cent. Hence the request for “access to the documents” by the mayor Silvia Rovere: “Request due and in good faith – he declared to La Stampa -. Anyone would have done it, whether as a public administrator or as a citizen. Maximum confidence in the work of the officials, but considered such a high stakes, it is my duty to verify. Even just not to be remembered as someone who lost 20 million by 2 points and didn’t want to go deeper ».
There was an in-depth study, and how, and prompted the junta to appeal. The reason is in the resolution approved today: «The summary survey on the tender documents highlighted various anomalies in the assignment of some scores, including those relating to margins, as well as possible irregularities in the documentation presented by the awarded Municipality. In recent days there was a meeting in the Region to obtain clarifications, but the answers were by no means exhaustive “. And he underlines: “Since this is a very important opportunity for our Municipality, given the extent of the funding and there are valid reasons that lead us not to accept this outcome, it is necessary to take the decision to take legal action to obtain a review of the ranking drawn up and to the attribution of the correct score ».
The Administration has entrusted its protection to the law firm of Teresio Bosco and Francesca Tetto. On her phone, Silvia Rovere reiterates: «We waited a long time and asked the Region for information, which is” empty “, useless to clarify the path that led the Commission to reward Elva. In the documents, there is no detail on the awarding of points, something that any public body is required to submit when it has to award resources, of any kind “.
