With a “part time” mayor, without a deputy mayor and without a councilor. The municipal administration of Taormina seems to be sailing by sight in the last period, between farewells and extra-municipal commitments of its members. The resignation of the deputy mayor Jonathan Sferra, forced to leave after the New Year’s “slip” on the dinner-show at the Palazzo dei Congressi, was not followed by reactions from the mayor Cateno De Luca, busy these days with party commitments and appointments at the “Ti Amo Sicilia” study center.
Resignations appeared inevitable, despite Sferra being one of the founding members of Sicilia Vera and De Luca’s point of reference in Taormina since 2007, which however do not close the matter. While it is true that the now former councilor was consistent with the Deluchian administrative model, according to which those who govern must always set an example, other administrators were also present at the party (with an unauthorized disco) who must give an account of their behavior to the citizens, who do not deserve silence but have the right to know the truth. At the top of the Municipality, in the absence of the mayor, formally there should be the senior councilor Antonio Lo Monaco, even if in Taormina a “shadow mayor” has governed since the beginning of the mandate, Massimo Brocato, who since May last year no longer holds the role of expert on Cateno De Luca given that he resigned to take up the role of president of Patrimonio Taormina.
