Mayor for spirit of service and desire to be useful to the community rather than for political vocation, Katia Ceraldi Guida Cesarò with the determination and energy that distinguish it in life and in the legal profession. “I do not come from politics nor I have a political career ambition, I returned from Syracuse in 2016 for family reasons and having chosen to live in Cesarò there was a need to put our face on it and make my contribution,” he says. «After the first experience in 2017 in the city council, before the elected, albeit in the opposition, in 2022 with his colleague and deputy mayor Mirella Zito We have put together a project of competent people. People wanted us and it was not difficult to overcome the quorum in the lonely race ».
A courageous challenge in a dramatic historical moment for a district finished under the dark investigations on the “mafia of the pastures”. “At that time, the Nebrodi and Cesarò identified themselves with the mafia, an unacceptable media massacre that triggered the spark in me – thunders the mayor -. Nobody can afford to deny the existence of the problem, today there are judgments that have clarified, but I did not like how the community was treated, making a bundle all the grass and medically associating that phenomenon with every occasion, too festive ». Fortunately, a climate that seems behind, “three serene years have passed because everyone knows how reason, even if he wounded the anonymous letter in the election campaign that called me a lawyer of the mafia because of the profession. We restored compliance with the rules for everyone by changing the mentality starting from the simplest things from daily livability to separate collection, recovered the deficit, who was not paid taxes and the credits for the rent of the land and adopted the new announcement in total transparency ” .
Katia Ceraldi therefore looks forward with renewed enthusiasm, despite the difficulties and sacrifices of an even more difficult path for a woman. “Politics, like lawyer, is probably designed more for men and in certain contexts especially small for women is more difficult,” concludes the mayor who does not like the female nickname: “It is not the more leg A consonant that qualifies the woman. I strongly believed in a team of women (three out of five make up the junta, plus three reference councilors in the classroom, NDC) and in a policy of concreteness and responses to the territory it has in honorable Bernardette Grasso a point of reference. I gave up free time to reconcile administration and profession, but looking to the future and despite the many critical issues of our territory, that conquered change makes me recover the energies and think of not wanting to disperse the great work done ».
