“The resignation of Occhiuto in Calabria are an act of irresponsibility and expression of the worst political tacticism, which equals Salvini’s Papeete of 2019, and which aims only to his own interests, to his political survival. Thus in a note on social media, Pasquale Tridico, head of the 5 Star Movement at the European Parliament-
The choice of the now ex -president is against the interests of the Calabrians who do not deserve the delays to which we assist public works, the definition of funds by south, the stall of PNRR projects and funding, the further breakdown of health. It is an act that, among other things, contrasts with the glossy narrative carried out up to two days ago by the same Occhiuto, according to which everything was fine and that we were witnessing an alleged revolution in the public administration and in the advancement of the projects. So alleged that he himself in the resignation speech tells us today that everything is still stopped, and nobody signs nothing: no project and no advancement. So of the two, one: either it was all stopped or it is only tacticism and irresponsibility. In any case, it is a very serious damage to Calabria and the Calabrians.
Furthermore, beyond the judicial issues, which have an independent course and are evaluated only by the judiciary, with presumption of innocence, there is a political responsibility that accompanies the president Occhiuto, from which one cannot ignore and that weighs on his work. It is clear that with the cleverness of the premature interruption of the legislature, ours thinks about subtracting the responsibilities of the bankruptcy that would have appeared even more evident to the natural expiry of the mandate, scheduled at the end of 2026. Today he will always be able to say, as he started doing, that someone has not allowed him to continue his work. But for what mysterious reasons, after new elections, if he wins them, should the situation change? Especially since the hindrances and “hates” internal to his majority are ready to reproduce themselves as his allies. The threat to the managers who, states, is also very serious if they sign what he says, they will be reconfirmed.
His contradictions are evident and unsolvable, which bring out the serious irresponsibility of President Occhiuto and his center -right council to the government of the Region. The president Occhiuto must resign for the unsatisfactory and bankruptcy administration of these years, but not as a prerequisite to recover and continue floating and surviving politically. This would be against Calabria.
The M5S and all the forces of the progressive field are ready to give the Calabrians a candidacy and an alternative program to this system, to take the government of the region in hand and change regional policy “, concludes Tridico.
