Messina, the Basile council towards the “coupon”

When the city council returns from “vacation” next week, it will find, among the documents to discuss, the substantial reports of the mayor, council members and top management of the participating companies on the second year of office. A 400-page document for the council, another 125-page document for the participating companies, both approved by the council on the first day of August. A voluminous dossier that goes into greater detail than the report presented to the press a couple of months ago by Federico Basile and his team and that will have to be submitted to the city council for a sort of “service” of the administration, with an exquisitely political meaning.
Administration that, at this stage, is facing the most thorny issue since it took office, the water crisis, but which in the two documents lists a long series of results and interventions completed or started in the various areas of competence of the individual councilors and individual companies. The narrative, right from the introduction, continues to be the one that has characterized the last few years, in the name of administrative continuity – and from this point of view also communicative – with the De Luca mayorship: “In 2018, Mayor De Luca inherited a disastrous political administrative situation – it reads -, the conditions of deficit were analyzed and corrective measures were found that today, after four years of administration, see the continuity guaranteed by Mayor Basile resting on solid financial foundations that allow not only far-reaching planning, but above all the realization of those works that have been financed, planned and realized since 2019”.
