It’s yet another tirade, this time a little louder than usual, with a message that leaves little room for doubt, indicating a clean-up on the horizon because “only with a major renovation, with courage, can we improve” , ergo: «when their mandates expire, they will be replaced, not all, but some». The words are the governor’s Renato Schifanipronounced yesterday during the centre-right meeting at the Jolly theater in Palermo, organized to analyze the results achieved so far by the Meloni executive.
The mandates, however, are those of the general managers of the Region, expiring next February, many of whom, evidently, will not be reconfirmed because, continues the number one of Palazzo d’Orleans, «there are situations in which councilors do not are able to implement the government’s choices” and “on this issue I will ask the coalition for a hand in adopting shared choices”. It is difficult to glean the names and surnames of future “expelled” people from the notebookwhat is certain, in yet another reminder addressed by Schifani to the heads of the regional offices – the penultimate one two weeks ago, to speed up the re-assessment of the residues necessary for the general accounting – is that The head of the Sicilian Civil Protection, Salvo Cocina, is not on the blacklist«who deserves applause» for how he managed and is managing the water emergency, and in all probability, for the same reason but on the agriculture front, not even Dario Cartabellotta, while a question mark hangs over the rest of the players on the field, at least on that part of the team that, in the governor’s opinion, does not assume the responsibility that the law assigns to it: carrying forward the political choices of the council. But according to what transpires from the Palace of Orleans, the president would be also annoyed by the excessive indulgence of some councillors, specifically towards the general managers.
However, there is no irritation whatsoever, indeed, “no bickering”, with the Minister of Civil Protection, despite the back and forth on the timing of the anti-drought plan which took place last Wednesday, because, Schifani remarked on the sidelines of the meeting, «certain press fuels clashes that don’t exist», while «I intend to govern and work for Sicily and Minister Musumeci is doing the same» – also present at the event via video link, forgetting to greet the governor.
