A quick analysis of the Regional elections, but above all a look at the future of the opposition in Calabria. This was the heart of the meeting “The ballot boxes and Calabria”, promoted by Asprom in the representation room of the Municipality of Cosenza. After greetings from the mayor Franz Caruso, the mayor of Villa San Giovanni Giusy Caminiti, on the front line against the construction of the bridge, the director of the “Quotidiano” Massimo Razzi and the economist Domenico Cersosimo spoke, moderated by the director of Asprom Mimmo Talarico. Closing the event was MEP Pasquale Tridico, already candidate for the presidency of the Region for the progressive camp.

«We are working on a bill in Parliament to guarantee them the possibility of voting from the place where they live and study. I know it will be a difficult battle with this Government, but it is a battle of identity, of civilization. The right, instead of removing obstacles, often ends up accentuating them. We need to change perspective, restore rights, not take them away.”
Tridico, who will not resign as regional councilor before the expiry of 60 days from the proclamation, has clearly traced the lines of the opposition. «I will organize the opposition in the meantime – he announced -.
