The metropolitan mayor of Reggio Calabria, Giuseppe Falcomatà, was elected, the only Calabrian representative, in the new presidential office of the National Association of Italian Municipalities, led by the new president Gaetano Manfredi which assigned him the mandate for local public services. For the mayor of Reggio – explains a note – this is a further confirmation in Anci, the highest representative body of Italian municipalities. The new mandates of Falcomatà, this time, will have a scope across the entire national territory, covering the most useful and necessary services for citizens.
«I thank – said Falcomatà – President Manfredi and the entire new Anci team for the trust they have placed in me, I wish him and the other fellow mayors good luck for the work we will have to face in the coming months . The Municipalities are the backbone of Italy’s democratic system, the first institutional reference for all citizens who, after the electoral reform, had the opportunity to directly elect mayors”. For the mayor of Reggio Calabria «confrontation with other fellow mayors and with other institutions, with the European Union, with the national government and with the Regions will be fundamental. The delegations assigned to me, in fact – concludes Falcomatà – concern the main functions of the Municipalities, i.e. the provision of local public services, vital for citizens, families, businesses, which must be guaranteed at the same level throughout the national territory, as required by the Constitution ».
Falcomatà on Tg2: “The country must adapt to the speed of the mayors, the Pnrr funds will be confirmed”
«We ask that the country adapt to the speed of the mayors, this is the request that comes from the Anci assembly which unanimously elected Gaetano Manfredi as the new president. We ask that the structural funds of the Pnrr, which the mayors spend and spend well, be confirmed from time to time. I am convinced that Raffaele Fitto will lend a hand to the mayors and to the country.” This was said by the metropolitan and mayor of Reggio Calabria, Giuseppe Falcomatà, new member of the Anci Bureau, with responsibility for local public services, today on Tg2 Italia Europa. «We cannot waste months – he added – for an authorization, because if Europe asks us for speed and the mayors adapt to that speed, we cannot allow our cities to waste time on bureaucracy, on authorizations that never arrive. Furthermore, we need more staff who must also be adapted to this and the release of resources.”
