«It is essential to know how to solve problems to govern a region that has an important budget but also many critical issues that we have been dragging on for years, despite being the region that has received the most European funds ever». This was declared by Luigi Sunseri, deputy of the 5 Star Movement at the Sicilian Regional Assembly, speaking during the morning at the “Ti Amo Sicilia” Study Center in Caltagirone, at the Don Sturzo Gallery.
A new political path from the Municipalities to Brussels
“Let’s begin to imagine a path that will lead us to a responsible government, with clear ideas, capable of carrying forward real reform laws that will radically change this region in their essence”, added Sunseri. A path which, according to the Five Star MP, must start from the municipalities, pass through the Region and reach Brussels.
«If we start to imagine a Sicily that knows how to build a new political class, we will probably live and leave a different Sicily to future generations. For this reason I wish Cateno De Luca good luck, both for this new project and for the parliamentary activity that will see us committed to imagining a different path for Sicily”, he concluded.
The opening of the Democratic Party and self-criticism
Michele Catanzaro, group leader of the Democratic Party at the ARS, also expressed his good wishes and confirmed his attention and support for the “Ti Amo Sicilia” Study Center project. «I am here in light of the relationship of sincere friendship that binds me to Cateno De Luca and his entire group», stated Catanzaro, then entering into the political merits of the initiative.
«The message we must send starting from Caltagirone is a message that needs updating. We must change gear and be ready to represent a credible alternative to this regional government. The time has come to make a point, turn the page and not make the mistakes of the past, especially those of 2022. Coalitions are built on topics and contents. There may be differences between political forces, and it is natural, but today I feel the duty to send first of all a message of self-criticism”, he continued.
The construction of a government alternative
«As group leader of the Democratic Party I am here to reach out and work towards building an alternative. We must clearly say how we imagine Sicily and reiterate that we are alternatives to this regional government. We have nothing to do with this majority that proceeds by approximation and without a real idea of planning. Today we have the duty to give a message of hope to Sicilian men and women, who expect unity, responsibility and the ability not to repeat the mistakes of the past from us. We must find ourselves on the programs, contents and ideas to truly govern Sicily. It’s time to move forward together and take back the government of the Region”, concluded Catanzaro.
