The assault on the Winter Palace
Francesco Palazzo
Who holds the power to turn off the light in this legislature to the municipality of Palermo? Possible that thirty-three, fifty tenants of Palace of the Eagles, do not feel a burst of dignity, of compassion, not so much to the city, but for them to submit and vote on a motion of no confidence in the mayor and then go to the credits one of the most incredible periods of political Palermo? Hard to believe, but it happens in the fifth town in Italy. But what we need to see again, over the storming of the Winter Palace of the workers of GESIPA? Councilors forced to vote on a measure and some of them even claim to have saved the boat company managed by methods patronage and who loses one million euro per year. This city, Palermo, is now in the hands of anyone who wants to get something for himself or his tribe. When's the next assault? Who will be next, between those who aspire to play in the future the office of mayor, to tell you about my party? But the question is perhaps another. Who's in charge today in Palermo? Who holds the strings of power and handles what little is left in the vaults? It is not politics, of course. That shuts off the switch for some time. The majority who won the elections has disappeared like snow in the sun, what is left is to figure out who slashes to be the next candidate for mayor, the joints are changed as colorless ties in the morning, the opposition has become a majority . Already, the opposition. As in the best traditions began to argue about how to get to the appointment of a candidate for mayor. The PD said, and you almost laugh if it were not crying, which is not yet time for primaries and nominations. Italy of Values \u200b\u200bto PD poses vetoes, riparian veteroretina reviving an action that probably serves to prepare the ground for something. For the rest, movements that believe the new, and we've already heard this, meetings of elders who want to feel young and annacata different. But how can you, after ten years of darkness, not yet clear path to seventeen months of the elections? At best, because you could go to the voting before. And here, in this context, the workers burst of GESIPA to take him by the collar elected by the people and put them behind the blackboard blackmail. O voted the resolution, or end badly. They will say something like this? The items have been heavier and more resolute. But there was no need even had only one kindergarten class to make gingerbread crumble that wall that is now the policy of Palermo. Yes, those who have a few more years of us, will tell us that perhaps we have lived other dark periods similar to the decade ending. Maybe. The fact is that we do not have more memory. Neither the good times nor the bad. These two terms have also deleted i ricordi. Dobbiamo andarci a rileggere la nostra storia recente per trovare il punto da cui ripartire. Sarà difficile, per chiunque verrà dopo, ricostruire un minimo di cittadinanza condivisa sulle macerie di una politica assente o forse troppo presente nella sua irrisoluta inettitudine. Per far finire al più presto questo strazio, non resta che fare appello a quei trentatrè. Non trentini, ma consiglieri comunali palermitani che servono per abbassare la saracinesca e consentirci di scegliere con le elezioni. Così almeno, nel centrodestra, la finiranno con le sciabolate e individueranno un nome, uno qualunque, siamo a questo punto gente di poche pretese, da proporre al corpo elettorale per la carica di primo cittadino. Così almeno nel centrosinistra, facciano un po’ come vogliono, pure con la monetina, attraverso una sfida a dadi o con le freccette, vedranno quale galletto dovrà uscire fuori vivo dal pollaio e sfidare lo sciabolatore del centrodestra a singolar tenzone. Insomma, trentatrè consiglieri cari, ridateci un po’ di normalità. Fate a questa città, che almeno un po’ dovrete amare, un bel regalo di Natale.
