“This territory no longer accepts blackmail. The Administration is in favor of any settlement that also brings one more job to the territory, obviously in compliance with the rules and development guidelines of the territory”. Mayor Flavio Stasi is peremptory and on the eve of the open meeting of the council group leaders on the investment of Nuovo Pignone Baker Hughes, he returns to the subject reiterating his position, recalling how many try to use the issue of employment to hide their incompetence or lack of positions.
“The local representatives of the national and regional government parties, for example, have not said a single word about the choice of Enel, a state-owned company, to forgo over 20 million euros of public investments, 15 of which are from the PNRR, on which everyone agreed – from the unions to the most extreme environmentalists – on a site that is already industrial and that would have been reclaimed and developed. This plethora of armchair politicians can do anything except talk about jobs.” For Stasi, what is needed is clarity. Once again, he emphasizes that the Municipality will not be able to give urban planning compliance without the Master Plan: “If there is anyone, in Corigliano-Rossano or Catanzaro, who wants to give compliance without planning, let them declare it openly.
The absence of Prp – he adds – is a serious responsibility of the System Authority: an inertia that has lasted for 30 years, 9 of which are from the current leadership. If the single investment is worth 50 jobs, the planning is worth 1000, but nobody throws them in our faces. Without planning there is no idea of development, no guarantee, no rule”.
