In recent years, More and more governments have responded to the reduction of resources available with the instrument of sponsorship.
Even our City, with the Department of which I work, has published a few months ago a contract for the management of roundabouts and other green areas, just to make up to 50% cut of resources this year has affected park maintenance. Who reads the blog, will know that this kind of cut is not due to lack of resources but the application of the penalty on non-compliance of the Stability Pact as well as which of course made a lot of blocking investment, current expenditure contracted strongly (than in relation to payment of utilities and services). The call provided the opportunity for individuals to manage a park or reinstalled conveying their brand on it, with the installation of panels bearing the name of who is responsible for its maintenance. For the moment, has responded to only one business interested in sponsoring the large roundabout on SR 23, to be clear that near Agip. The project will be evaluated not only by municipal technicians from the province that also has jurisdiction on the roundabout.
will soon be re-published the announcement for the remaining areas (via Torino round, round the industrial area, dogs in the station area and some flowers). Anyone interested can read on the municipal website, how custody of the notice expired last September. The idea is to save some of the Administration to better allocate those resources available to the maintenance of city parks. The instrument of sponsorship is certainly valid but it can not be in any field. In recent days the news that the Province of BAT (Barletta Andria Trani) to counter the lack of government transfers has offered companies the opportunity to place its logo on school desks made me think of the sadness
of this initiative. Some may argue that now our life is constantly invaded by the marks, from commercials, advertising that appears in all its forms and at any time. On the other hand, many cultural events would be impossible to achieve without the support of private foundations that are aziende.La school but it is another thing, or rather should be a factory
culture and hence of citizenship, democracy . It 'a space tutti.La public school is the social
greatest achievement of the last century and imagine the benches marked by a sponsor or any symbol makes me shudder.
Taking care of the school, means taking care of citizens of tomorrow, have at heart the future. Just because school is a space "of all" the same way can not be branded as politically was made by
Municipality of Adro , with the "sun of the Alps" or better, the "rose of the Shepherds" a symbol in art for centuries in many countries around the world but lately associated (as a trademark) in the Northern League political party, which is also (coincidentally) the same as the mayor of Adro.
Mayor Oscar Lancini has justified its selection as the only aesthetic.
Beautify public spaces, whether streets, parks or schools is certainly worthy action, which personally I think a lot because it is a way to make the beauty of "democratic" and available to everyone, other than a political symbol is reproduced on hundreds or commercial benches, litter bins, warning signs and even with the roof, where grandeur is repeated on the "original" green version. One wonders what the real purpose of this choice that makes one think of a real action
propaganda, a way to mark the territory and even decline in public spaces as well as in their choices, their political hegemony. Far from being a choice as folk dismissed by some members of the parliamentary majority.
E 'a vision that has a lot to do with managing "owner" of the res publica, just as the mayor who should represent the institutions, a view also transverse to the policy guidelines and this is the most dangerous to exist. Undermines the foundations of the rule of law because no consensus as broad scelte.Governare can justify such a city does not mean possessing, marked. Even a bank with the logo of a company that pays the bill "or the symbol of a party that" wants to be the state "would be a manifestation of the unconditional surrender of public school. As we know, after much controversy
symbols leaguers have been removed, with additional costs. Even the minister Gelmini after initial silence, could not pretend nothing has happened, but a government that has no resources for the education of its citizens, who prefers to sell the very idea of \u200b\u200bpublic school
to the highest bidder , devalues \u200b\u200bday by day work of the school who live there. To remedy a questa latitanza non basta metterci una pezza, non c'è sponsor che tenga.
