From the long meeting in Fiumedinisi a road map emerged which, between now and the end of the year, will lead to a profound renewal in the municipal administration, between the council and, above all, the investee companies. The same general staff reiterated it South calls Northby the leader Cateno De Luca to the mayor Federico Basilewho with a note confirmed many of the rumors that had filtered out Thursday evening.
The first stage is scheduled for Monday, when Basile will sign the decree for the appointment of the new Amam board of directors. More than tight-lipped, however, about the names, even if the choices seem to have already been made. Also next week the “reset” of ATM’s top management will be made official, according to the same script implemented for Amam: resignation, then notice to the new board of directors. And perhaps it is no coincidence that the appointment of the new general director of the metropolitan city is scheduled for the next date circled in red on the calendar, Monday 28th. One of the rumors of the moment wants him to take over Except Pucciocalled to take care of Palazzo Zanca full time, may be the current president of ATM, Pippo Campagnawhich in the meantime will continue to manage the ASM of Taormina.
Finally, by the end of the month, there will be the first change in the council: the current Councilor for Education will be leaving, as expected for some time, Pietro Currò. However, no one is making any comments about the replacement. One of the “hot” names of the last few hours is that of the city coordinator of Nino Carreriwho could also be chosen for the new Board of Directors of ATM (where it is not excluded that Carla Grillo will be confirmed with a new appointment). But the shuffling of cards doesn’t end here. The box for the new general director of Amam was also filled, after the resignation – the only one not “controlled” by the Deluchian parent company – of Pierfrancesco Donatofrom November onwards we will continue with the other subsidiaries. It is not certain, however, that the top management of all companies will resign. The renewal of the top management of Arismè is almost certain, Messinaservizi is in doubt, less “shaky” there Messina Social Citywhile it is probable that other movements could be registered with the council.
«We have a well-defined road map – Basile reiterated yesterday – which will lead us, by the month of December, towards a new general structure, allowing us to continue our work with greater enthusiasm. These are not choices made to reward or fail someone, but simply a natural revision, in this phase more energy is needed to achieve and complete the objectives we have set for ourselves. The road map for Messina includes a series of strategic steps that will be implemented in the coming weeks.”
It is clear that the overall direction of this operation is entirely in the hands of Cateno De Luca, who wanted everyone in Fiumedinisi on Thursday, also giving up the “showcase” of the inauguration of the Street Food Fest in Piazza Cairoli. The priority for De Luca was to make the team (who in the room where the meeting was held turned out to be larger than other times, with over eighty present) perceive the importance of the moment.
«Let’s start again from Messina – said the former mayor of the city of the Strait and current mayor of Taormina – which for us is the symbol of the administrative action of South calls North, the “De Luca model” applied to the city of the Strait and replicated in other municipal buildings it has proven to work. And we are aware that those who want to hit the South call the North and slow down our progress and aim to hit Messina. We also saw it with the case linked to the water emergency. This is why today it becomes crucial for us to defend Messina and continue and complete the recovery and relaunch action that we started in 2018. If they attack us – the message launched by De Luca – we react and relaunch”.
