Mayor Enzo Romeo intervenes decisively in the debate opened by the mayors of Serre, who have started the process for the return to the province of Catanzaro. A choice which, according to Romeo, represents “a political step of enormous importance and a worrying signal for the entire Vibo area”.
“Inexplicable silence from President L’Andolina”
Romeo openly criticizes the lack of intervention of the president of the Province, Corrado L’Andolina:
«In the face of such a delicate act – he claims – his silence is incomprehensible. The Province should defend the unity of the territory and take charge of the reasons of our communities.”
“We risk returning to the outskirts of the outskirts”
The mayor recalls that in 1992 the Vibonese area was born as a province to emancipate itself from its marginal role compared to Catanzaro. «It is said that the tripartition was a mistake – states Romeo – but this is only supported by those who look from the rooms of the mother province. We cannot accept a return to that condition.”
“Real problems cannot be solved by changing provinces”
The mayor of Spadola (if you need to specify another municipality, please tell me) highlights that a possible move to Catanzaro would not bring benefits:
«Those who choose Catanzaro inherit a triple debt and no certainty of better services. Depopulation, roads, health and development cannot be cured with a change of flag, but with strong political representation and serious projects.”
“Vibo has shown that he knows how to govern”
Romeo defends the history of the Province of Vibo: «When it was put in a position to operate, Vibo created works that had been awaited for decades. What slowed it down were the bankruptcy and the Delrio law, which affected all the provinces of Italy.”
“An appeal to the mayors: we don’t run away, we build”
The mayor closes with a direct appeal to his colleagues in the area: «Courage is needed. The Province of Vibo Valentia cannot be touched. Defending it does not mean protecting a building, but the right of our communities to decide their own future. Going back would be a historic mistake.”
