Foreign children honorary citizens in Chivasso, first announcement of the Castle bis

“This city council and the whole administration are called to this and other important choices and courageous standpoints for their people: for young people, women, workers, the last ones, people with disabilities, the elderly. Common sense decisions cannot fail to find us united in planning for a better tomorrow than today “

CHIVASSO. The only gasp of the first municipal council of the Castello bis is the mention of a symbolic resolution in support of the ius scholae, with the conferral of honorary citizenship to children born in Chivasso to foreign parents – a sort of ius soli -, and to the importance of environmental protection.

“This city council and the whole administration are called to this and other important choices and courageous standpoints for their people: for young people, women, workers, the last ones, people with disabilities, the elderly. Common sense decisions cannot fail to find us united in planning a better tomorrow than today ».

No twist for the rest: apart from the presence of a running dog in the classroom, promptly returned to the owner. As had already been hypothesized in recent days, the choice of the majority for the presidency of the Council fell on Alfonso Perfetto.

“I am a simple person – he declared after the election which took place with 12 votes in favor, 3 abstentions and a null ballot -. I will operate according to the principles of impartiality, transparency and legality. Our city needs all of us. We want to bring our citizens to take an interest in public life ». Vice President of the Council, who has traditionally been an exponent of the minority, the candidate for mayor Clara Marta was elected who thanked the councilors and mayor and wished good work. In his introductory speech to the oath, the mayor instead recalled the importance of “burying the ax of an at times bitter confrontation.”

“Every citizen who asks for help will find an answer,” he added. Castello also officially communicated the names of his council: Pasquale Centin, who is also the new deputy mayor, Chiara Casalino, Fabrizio Debernardi, Tiziana Siragusa and Gianluca Vitale. The municipal councilor Claudio Moretti will assist the mayor in health matters for the delegation assigned to him under the Municipal Statute. There were some digs and some minority controversies.

Clara Marta reminded the mayor that “he must take into account that 4709 citizens voted in the second round, about 2 out of 10 citizens entitled. The majority of citizens are represented on this side of the room, about 60% of those who voted in the first round voted for us. Chivasso is stopped. It must restart and be central to the whole territory ».

Bruno Prestia, group leader of Per Chivasso recalled some moments of the electoral campaign, specifically when after the first round, the controversy broke out over the presence at the electoral data dissemination center of a citizen with a tattoo in praise of the Mafia. Enzo Falbo of the Brothers of Italy, on the other hand, made fun of the decisions of the council and presidency of the Council: «I would have expected a greater presence in the council of women and young people. The average age is high and as for women you have just made the minimum wage. Without taking anything away from Perfetto, I would have seen a woman well ».
