«When the passion goes beyond and turns into hope. In a new, different, better Calabria ». So he made his debut last night in Rogliano, in Cosentino, Pasquale Tridico, candidate for the presidency of the Calabria Region for the progressive field, during a restricted meeting transformed into a participatory public assembly, in the presence of many young people and local administrators, including the mayor of Rogliano, Giovanni Altomare.
At the center of the debate, the electoral program, the great issues such as public health, the right to mobility, support for businesses, the development of internal areas, which Tridico has defined “central”.
“Savuto in recent years – explained the candidate president of the Largo camp – in recent years has undergone a progressive decline. The dismantling of the public hospital then deprived citizens of a fundamental point of reference in the right to care and health “.
“The industrial area of Piano Lago – has also highlighted – has been waiting for years to host productive activities, while the entire area of the Savuto, and more generally the mountain and foothills realities, have been eroded by a progressive and worrying depopulation, especially in the field of intellectual energies, forced to seek fortune and affirmation in Northern Italy and in Europe”.
“All together – said Pasquale Tridico again – we must break the social and material isolation of the territory, working on a mobility system that relates it to the two capital cities and with the two universities of Cosenza and Catanzaro”.
Former INPS president has pitted alarming data, symptomatic of the management of public affairs. “In the last ten years, according to Svimez, the association for the development of industry in the South, 130 thousand Calabrians graduated have emigrated to a subdosphorous work. Many, however, remained and live on poverty. One in two Calabrian today is poor – he has provocatively closed Pasquale Tridico -: do we finally want to question these issues and identify solutions? ».
