“There is something really serious in what is happening in Calabria. It was not enough to be last in Europe by unemployment, to have the regional health system most in difficulty in Italy, to see entire communities disappear in indifference, not to be able to spend the European resources that could change the fate of this land. All this was not enough. “
This is what writes in a post published on his Facebook page, the regional councilor Antonio Lo Schiavo, president of the Mixed Group – Italian Left, in relation to the latest political events that have seen the announcement of the resignation and the contextual re -acting by the President of the Calabria Region Roberto Occhiuto.
“Now – adds the slave – we must also witness the transformation of Calabria into a South American Republic of Bananas, where we directly appeal to the” people “directly to the” people “, where democratic institutions are trampled on, where each institutional sobriety rule is sacrificed on the altar of gamblers disguised as statists. What does respect of the respect of the institutions? Today a judicial investigation must be transformed into a popular referendum where magistrates must respond to the “people’s court”. Where an investigated governor resigns and immediately re -appointed himself as if he were in a reality show. And while the region goes by administrative tilt – in a very delicate phase with billions of the PNRR at risk – we continue to publish motivational videos as any life coach would do on Tiktok. Videos screamed without saying anything. The truth is simple and bitter: this is not political, it is a show. This is not courage, it is populism at Papeete. Calabria deserves more. He needs serious and balanced people who do not lose the sense of reason in the face of difficulties. Who do not scream but listen. Who do not think of democratic institutions such as optional or obstacles to get around when they become uncomfortable. Politics is not a reality show. It is responsibility. It is future. That’s all this show is not ».
