The Baker Hughes city council meeting will be held on October 24th. Meanwhile, the hot controversies that exploded after the announcement of the withdrawal by the multinational of the 60 million euro investment in the port of Corigliano following the extraordinary appeal to the President of the Republic by the mayor Flavio Stasi arrive, the date of the much awaited and requested civic assembly invoked several times by the council minority.
Last Wednesday, the conference of group leaders met, chaired by the prime minister, Rosellina Madeo, in the presence of all the majority group leaders (Uva, Baffa, Sanzi, Trento, Costa, Candreva, Sciarrotta and Leonetti), it was established to confirm the date of October 24thalready decided unanimously in the Leaders’ Conference of last September 24, as the day on which the city council meeting on Baker Hughes will be celebrated. «This decision confirms the attention» explains Madeo «that the city institutions have placed and intend to place on the issue, in the wake of institutional paths of clarity and seriousness».
Meanwhile, the controversy and interventions on the matter do not stop. The senator Fausto Orsomarso, member of the Finance and Treasury Commissioncondemns Mayor Stasi’s unfortunate decision: «A responsible ruling class, not only political of course, tries to do everything to positively change the perception and reality of Calabria at a national and foreign level, and here is the successful attempt to attract companies that invest capital in production facilities, is nullified by quibbling in bureaucratic language, even resorting to our Head of State as if the company used harmful gases. Frankly it’s embarrassing and distressing. These are crucial topics for guaranteeing a future of work for many Calabrians but in the face of paralyzing “choices to make a mess”, one feels like saying that even Marx would have defined these subjects as “enemies of progress with their heads turned backwards”. The sen. Orsomarso agrees with the regret of the regional president of Unindustria, Aldo Ferrara, who appropriately recalled «the work carried out alongside the institutions to build the best possible context conditions so that Calabria is a land capable of attracting investments especially from beyond the borders. In one fell swoop, the region has lost a triple, important opportunity for its industrial, social and economic development.”
