Catania – The debate in the citizen democratic party is ignited, in the light of the open letter to colleagues, written by the exponent Otello Marilli who yesterday, in an article published on our website, urged a reflection on the deafening absence of the democratic party in administrative life of the city, also recalling what he called the glaring mistake in the 2018 elections when the Democratic Party gave up presenting itself with a representative list of the party.
Jacopo Torrisi replied to Marilli with a post on Facebook who, referring to his party mate, began with “Sometimes they return”. Torrisi, on the other hand, recalled that the much acclaimed Pd in Marilli’s time was crossed by currents and divisions. And he went on to say that now Marilli “thinks well to launch judgments, a little rhetorical, on the work of those who have remained and do it in public and without confronting himself directly”. “Perhaps dear Otello from the 2000 kilometers away where you are some things you have not seen or perhaps they have not told you …”.
The last to intervene in the debate was the president of the Pd Nesima-San Leone circle Angelo Mammana: “Regarding the article on the site today of 18 March in which one of our esteemed historical exponent of the Catania left, Otello Marilli questions about the future and the perspective of the Catania party, I have the duty to participate in the debate and I too have some reflections. In a recent past I had publicly posed in the media, with force, the total absence of democracy within the party, the emptying of the organisms the closure of the inconvenient historical circles, the purge of dissident and non-aligned leaders, the prevalence of currents and notaries or pseudo-such born only to exclusively serve the personal interests of some.
In the light of the above, I wonder, if the Catania management team made up of ex-Lombardians, ex-forceists, to be indicted for responsibility for the failure of the Municipality of Catania, what credibility will it have in the eyes of public opinion? The answer is …… no political credibility. This is why the deafening silence of the party on the disarming administrative activity of the center-right in a city abandoned to itself almost resigned to an economic and social decline is explained “.
“What will we say – continues Mammana – and what proposals will we make to the people of Catania on agonizing commercial activities, on services, on the tertiary sector, on tourism, on the safety of citizens, not to mention the growing criminal activities composed above all of very young people who always make the neighborhoods popular The initiatives, even if praiseworthy of some young people, cannot be enough, in our party we need a “revolution” a total replacement of the leadership group that has nothing to say but to keep the position.
If the “dinosaurs” do not have to go home, if this does not happen, the decline of our party and of the Catania left will be inevitable “.
