“Enhance and connect the vocations of all territories to make our province a protagonist in the revival of Tuscany”. It was with these words that Franconi announced his candidacy for the provincial council.

“The province – argued the mayor of Pontedera – is the seat of government for some strategic services in the life of citizens and communities. Higher education, local public transport, civil protection and road infrastructures impact the quality of a territory on a daily basis, which is not necessary for development opportunities. The commitment to my candidacy is also to try, from within, to stimulate the national legislator and the government to revise the role of large-area institutions beyond a reform that is still halfway through a ford “.

“The pandemic – he added -, with the urgent actions that it was necessary to put in place for high schools and public transport, made us understand how fundamental the capacity of the institutions is in the organization of the public functions of government of the territories. from the new political / administrative government of the province of Pisa I expect a further step forward in listening to the needs of the territories and the ability to plan, also thanks to funds from the PNRR, a new network of local opportunities that combine into one unified vision. It is necessary to capitalize on the specific vocations of the single homogeneous, diversified but extraordinary areas, from the Valdicecina to the leather district, from the hills to the Pisan “belt”, passing through the Valdera, connecting the peculiarities and overcoming individual criticalities in a single framework “.

“Our province – Franconi recalled in conclusion -, yours strategic position of connection between the port of Livorno and the metropolitan area of ​​Florence, can and must play a leading role in the development of the Region. If there is a future of development for coastal Tuscany, it cannot fail to pass through the tangible and intangible infrastructures that innervate our province. If I’m part of the team, second my style, belly to the ground, I will put at the disposal of President Angori a support of the many challenges we face. Always having as the guiding star of our route the awareness that the management of complex problems requires articulated and concrete solutions; offering answers to the problems of citizens and the needs of the territories for me means taking on the responsibility of putting one’s face and passion into it. A province with credibility, dignity and authority who deserves will be able to accompany the municipalities on the path that leads them out of the dark period of the pandemic and will be able to indicate to the Region which destination to turn the helm to “.
