«It is a decision that deeply saddens us, especially for having seen Mayor Enzo Voce leave the Town Hall visibly saddened and moved. A painful choice, but consistent with the man and the mayor we have known and with whom, in recent years, we have shared every day of work, side by side. Enzo Voce is an administrator who has put himself at the service of the city, with dedication, passion and a sense of responsibility.” This is what we read in a document from the municipal council of Crotone, after the resignation of the mayor following the attack against a majority councilor.
«We do not believe it is right – the document continues – that his actions should be reduced today or judged only through the lens of some considerations read in recent days. Making mistakes is human, but it takes great courage to assume one’s responsibilities and apologize. And it is not right that a single episode instantly erases five years of commitment, sacrifices and sincere service to the community. Enzo Voce – writes the Council – is not the mayor of the last hours. He is the mayor who led the city in the most difficult moments such as in the tragic days of Steccato di Cutro and who was able to face emergencies with humanity and firmness. He is the mayor who has given a positive change to this city, restoring its dignity, vision and hope after years of obscurantism. Today, beyond the personal choices that belong to him and that honor him, we want to thank him for the commitment, for the courage and for the example of dedication that he gave to all of us.”
