Men Pleasuring Themselves

FISH ROSARY

The die is cast: Mayor 3 candidates, 7 of which six civic lists, 140 candidates to fill a citizen of the twenty seats available in the City Council. These are the issues of competition, which will elect the new administration of our city, on 6-7 June. Figures, these, which indicate a strong passion and a return to participation after many years of neglect and apathy on the part of Sanseverinesi, which, apparently, they want to go back to being characters, giving a clear signal to those who have mismanaged in Over the last fifteen years. The three candidates for mayor are, of course, very different policy options and policies among themselves. Romano embodies the continuity of power in San Severino in the years of the Second Republic: the candidate who will in the course of the campaign, only, losing their consent - already shaky indeed - it enjoys in the local public opinion. His reputation as a good administrator, is abundant in nearby towns, also thanks to a well-orchestrated media campaign, not the actual level of satisfaction, he can count among his countrymen. The merits, which acquired the organization and management of the cycle of waste, are largely the merits of an entire nationality, who has always shown great sensitivity for the environment and conservation of the essential dignity of the city. Many are, rather, the limits of governmental action, that his rivals can and must appear clearly in the meetings of this very long month of May: proper law enforcement efforts, at least in this last period, before the vote, can only unveil many hypocrisies and the emergence, in its crudity, the report of a fifteen to nothing brilliant administration. Carmine Ansalone is the real challenger, what is perceived by Sanseverinesi as the only candidate able to put in serious difficulty Romano and able to force a runoff, which appears for the first time, many can. In fact, except in 1995, Romano has always won, directly or through intermediaries, in the first round, so a show of extraordinary strength and a remarkable capacity for obtaining consent, that this time's are gradually failing. The traditional constituency John Romano can not hide, in public, elements of strong disagreement with the work of the last three city councils and, increasingly numerous, it is getting the opportunity for a radical change in order to set in motion virtuous mechanisms of good governance , which are severely arrested in recent years. The candidate, on which are pinned the hopes of those voters disgruntled and dissatisfied, it is clearly Ansalone, both for his personal history of opposition, the Municipal Council, the first board of the Roman Empire, both for the quality of its program, which, if it , to promote a considerable advancement of our city, especially in terms of improving services e di innalzamento della qualità della vita. L’altro sfidante, Iannone, consigliere comunale uscente, candidatosi pochi mesi or sono alla sindacatura ha costruito, alla vigilia del voto, un’insolita ed anomala alleanza con una piccola formazione di Centro-Destra, l’Udeur, che - comunque andranno le elezioni - lo pone, già oggi, fuori di fatto dal Partito Democratico, in attesa dei severi provvedimenti, che poi gli organismi statutari del suo ormai ex-partito vorranno, ufficialmente, prendere, nei suoi confronti, all’indomani del turno elettorale.
La candidatura di Iannone è - nonostante il clima in cui è maturata - preziosa: vista la collocazione, che egli ha assunto nello schieramento di Centro-Destra, alleandosi con un partito, che in Campania fa parte integrante di quell’alleanza, i voti che otterrà (pochi o molti?) saranno, comunque, sottratti a Romano.
Evidentemente, si auspica che, in caso di ballottaggio, lo stesso Iannone – presumibilmente rimastone escluso - voglia poi, in coerenza con il suo recente passato, pur non brillante, di consigliere di minoranza, muoversi in autonomia dai diktat delle segreterie provinciali dei partiti ed offrire il suo utile contributo civico, per determinare la sconfitta di Romano, unendo i suoi voti – la cui entità numerica è, a tutt’oggi, di difficile previsione – a quelli di Ansalone, al fine di portare quest’ultimo, nelle vesti di sindaco, al Town Hall. The writer and this newspaper, which often has the courtesy to entertain, argue convincingly Ansalone Carmine's candidacy, knowing that the legacy of struggle, of which promoters were sanseverinesi the Greens in the last ten years, this represents 'Finally, a political added value, of inestimable importance, from which he can only take advantage of it. Finally, one vote will change the banner of a happier and more complete development if, in the next City Council or perform in the new council will be elected Raffaele Grimaldi, who was champion of the struggles of the democratic, social and environmental, of which fruits hours enjoy all Sanseverinesi.
