These are the “second” hundred days of Federico Basile, returned on a triumphal chariot to wear the tricolor sash, after his resignation move in February, and now called upon to make a decisive leap in quality. Starting from five key points which, in our opinion, will be as many test beds in the coming months.
The bulldozers start again
There’s no more time to waste. In the area of the former granary silos, the last outpost of that immense space which also included the “remains” of general warehouses, the fish market and the dock worker’s house, everything is at a standstill for the same reason that everything had stopped a year earlier, the nesting of the House Martin and the Kestrel. It is forbidden to be caught unprepared: around the middle of the month the reproductive phase of the protected birds will end, at which point the bulldozers will have to go back into action to complete the work, although the most critical point will be reached, the one closest to the Cavallotti car park. Only in this way will “phase 2” be able to begin, which will lead to the creation of the famous panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, the first stage of a broader redevelopment process for the centre.
Appeals and strategies
October, from the very first days, will be the equally decisive month of electoral appeals. On Day 1, the one relating to Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto will be discussed and already there we will understand the mood of what could happen in Messina, the case of which will be discussed on the 22nd. No one can be certain about what the TAR will decide first and, however it ends up, the Cga after, therefore the risk of a commissionership is there and will continue to be a political issue, as will be the future strategies of the leader of the South calls North Cateno De Luca. Strategies in which Messina, of course, has a central role.
