Tra poche ore partirò insieme al Sindaco per Roma. Domani ci attende un'importante manifestazione che vedrà la protesta dei sindaci italiani contro gli ulteriori tagli previsti per gli Enti Locali dall'ultima manovra finanziaria.
La manifestazione si terrà a Roma di fronte alla sede del Senato, con l'intervento del Presidente dell'Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani Sergio Chiamparino.
8 ore di viaggio tra Torino e Roma, una bella sfacchinata infrasettimanale, alla quale non ho voluto sottrarmi. Il momento è fondamentale per il futuro dei Comuni, oltre ai già pesanti limiti imposti dal Patto di Stabilità di cui ultimamente abbiamo molto parlato, la manovra provides cuts for 4 billion euro to transfer state and municipalities. Also in the regions, the protest is spreading, albeit with different nuances, depending on the political view. What must be clear is that fewer transfers are equivalent to less servizi.Giustamente Mayor Sergio Chiamparino pointed out how the municipalities are the most oppressed by the operation, while it could very "thin" if the budget shall be considered by some ministries of year years were unable to halt the growth of public debt.
These days I phoned many mayors and administrators of the province of Turin to invite to the event. What I read in the words of all is the frustration over the inability to do their work, the desire to "return the keys, as since, are not" owners "of the house comunale.Le municipalities, are practically blocked, it is impossible to provide public works since it is strongly limited the possibility of pay for the work progress, as the work takes shape. Not only that, the severe restrictions in terms of staff, forcing municipalities to offer services to their citizens precarious. If it were not for the voluntary sector, probably the "country system" would have imploded long ago. Fortunately, especially in smaller communities a network of family relationships and friendships, often compensate for the lack of public policies. In the coming months, also at the end of social safety nets, the municipalities will face in the forefront of the economic crisis and can not do it if he is prevented from governing, if they are in fact, police. Tomorrow we'll be square with the tricolor flag and a noose, a symbol that perhaps best of all the difficulties that can be expressed through the municipalities.
