SiAmo Siena awaits the decisions of Luigi De Mossi but thinks of Pasquale Colella as candidate for mayor – Corriere di Siena
Mom Yes, I love Siena what does he do? What is the mood and what are the thoughts of the members of the civic group that supports the mayor Louis DeMossi? In recent weeks, much has been written about meetings on the facts between representatives of center-right parties regarding the possible re-nomination for mayor of Luigi De Mossi. A meeting was held last Wednesday in Rome in the presence of Giovanni Donzelli, Matteo Salvini and representatives of Forza Italia; comparisons and constant chats there are also in Siena among the local exponents of the three parties. So Fratelli d’Italia (which now leads the center-right coalition, in Rome as in Siena), Lega and Forza Italia are at the center of what are the actions, dynamics and political decisions to outline the city scenario. Donzelli spoke with the Mayor DeMossi, who has now taken a few days to make his assessments. “I am a free man – said the mayor on Saturday. – They have been five very articulated years, of great satisfactions but also of many unpredictable situations that have occurred. I asked for a minimum of time to reflect and to arrive at choices that will be exclusively mine”.
However, in all these discussions and chats, there seems to be no consideration of the important support and civic contribution that De Mossi has had since his candidacy for mayor and then since his election in 2018 onwards. And on the other hand, the mayor himself has always remembered over the years that he is a citizen and that he does not have any party card in his pocket. At SiAmo Siena in recent times the mouths have remained sewn. No comments come from civic group. Whose exponents are probably observing the situation and, like the whole city, are awaiting De Mossi’s words and decisions. However, it is a group that has important numbers in the municipal council, which expresses a councilor and which in the municipal elections could also aim for an 8-9% of votes of the electorate which could prove crucial.
At the moment SiAmo Siena has three of its own representatives on the city council, the same number as Forza Italia and two less than Lega and Fratelli d’Italia (which each have 5): this is the parent company Maria Concetta Raponi, recently appointed president of the anti-price commission which will have to change how to distribute the one million and 300 thousand euros made available by the Municipality to help associations, families and businesses against the price and bill increases of recent months, and then by Federico Minghi and Maria Elena Stable. The group then expressed Paschal Collella as councilor for culture in the famous reshuffle that also brought in Stefania Fattorini. The patrol at the base of the civic group is nourished and hopes to make a good hoard of votes in next year’s municipal elections. Among them, in addition to those who sit on the city council and in addition, there are former city councilors such as Simone Lorenzetti and Marco Fedi and former councilors such as Leonardo Tafani. The exponents of SiAmo Siena therefore await De Mossi’s decisions. And if the current mayor takes a step back they probably hope that the candidate of the coalition can be another citizen. Indeed, it is not easy to think that a shift of the alliance to the right can be accepted, perhaps with the candidacy for mayor of Riccardo Pagni, an expression of the Brothers of Italy. In that case, a sensational breakdown of the alliance and the coalition would not be a hypothesis to be excluded, with the citizens who could go to use the paper of the candidacy for mayor of Pasquale Colella, former prior of the Pantera district and one of the most active councilors .
