In view of the elections for the presidency of the Province, which should be held in December (but a national response is still awaited), both centre-right and centre-left political forces are looking carefully at the Serre area, where many municipalities have started the process to change province, moving from Vibo to Catanzaro. All eyes are focused, in particular, on the Municipality of Serra. The majority of the Administration, led by the mayor Alfredo Barillari, last year on the occasion of the renewal of the Provincial Council had participated in the round by voting “no ballot” also to underline their intent to change the province, not recognizing themselves in the Vibo province. At the next round, however, the position they will take will be different. The mayor doesn’t come clean yet, but specifies: «Last year it wasn’t just a matter of wanting to give a sign of our intent to move on to the province of Catanzaro. The situation was particular, the competition was lacking. Today the picture is different and in any case, until the change occurs, we are still members of the province of Vibo.” Barillari recalls that the discussion of the change of province has been underway for years, even if the first concrete acts were produced only recently; despite this, Serra did not fail to express his provincial councilors (Galeano and Franzè) belonging precisely to the Barillari majority. Meanwhile in Serra the debate on the change of province does not go away.
