«We are against any hypothesis of extending the waste collection service in the absence of the publication of the relevant notice». The Action group in the Catanzaro City Council (Valerio Donato, Gianni Parisi, Stefano Veraldi) thus closing the doors to any attempt to end the year, leaving things unchanged as far as waste collection is concerned.
«It would mean – for the three councilors – perpetrating practices considered illegitimate even by the National Anti-Corruption Authority and – they reiterate bluntly – “it is unthinkable that after a good four months from the self-defense revocation of the notice we have not managed to publish the new notice” . Action, in practice, completely distances itself from “the logic according to which time is extended beyond measure even for the definition of such important practices”, convinced as they are, moreover, of the fact that “politics and municipal bureaucracy have very serious responsibilities”. Hence the bitterness that pushes them to say enough to what, in their eyes, appears to be “a total absence of decision-making as well as competence”.
Action, therefore, pulls the handbrake with respect to an administrative action that continues to insist on methods which – they say bluntly – «bring no concrete benefit to the community». Hence the intention not to lend one’s side, risking appearing complicit, has a further extension which – they point out – “would not be legitimate”. On the other hand, they have no doubts: «The only path that can be pursued at the moment is that of an extrajudicial and/or judicial challenge to the transaction concluded by the Municipality of Catanzaro with the company that manages the waste collection service in May 2022 Without retreating an inch from what has always been stated, in essence, the Action group in the City Council demands «a clear break from any element of continuity with the past managements which were much opposed and subject to strong criticism. criticism also from those who govern today.”
In the background the conflict with mandatory rules and community principles including the protection of competition, «which is radically null and void and devoid of any legal effect. Applying the contract, as originally concluded both in terms of the penalties established and in relation to the relationships currently pending” therefore appears to be the only viable path according to the Action-branded reasoning or the theses always supported by a group determined to close the leads to any possibility of fiscal damage to be borne by the Municipality. In essence, their position was and remains absolutely in line with what was put in black and white by the National Anti-Corruption Authority in a provision for which they now demand absolute respect. Palpable, therefore, is the bitterness over the fact that not even the Anac position seems to have sounded the alarm clock for the municipal administration. Hence the unambiguous conclusion: «A real, strong and decisive push towards a clear and positive change has not yet been perceived».
