Municipal elections, Action and Italia Viva work to build the third pole in Siena
Administrative elections, Action and Italia Viva di Siena have begun the constituent path of the federation through which it will start political activity in a coordinated waywith the aim, they let it be known, “to arrive at the constitution of a single party of liberal democrats that is open to all liberal, reformist and popular forces and energies that recognize themselves in the values of the constitution and of the Republic, rejecting all forms of populism right and left”.
“The evils afflicting Italy and the West are the fractures between progress and society, technology and man, freedom and knowledge, growth and sustainability, the market and social justice – reads the note – Fractures that cannot be recomposed by stopping progress or limiting freedom but investing in knowledge and society, restoring meaning and direction to human action and a precise role for the State in accompanying transformations”.
“To do this, we need a management class made up of people who have taken on the change by demonstrating their competence, seriousness and consistency. If we don’t trust politics, we ask for small donations today rather than big initiatives for tomorrow. This spiral must be broken. Especially in our city, which has experienced a serious economic, political and identity crisis in the last 15 years and which not even the change of administration in 2018 has been able to give positive answers. Our political forces Action and Italia Viva in Siena achieved great success in the last political elections, reaching 13 percent of the votes by presenting themselves together for the first time, fielding ideas, projects and credible candidates”.
“This is what we want to do also in the next municipal elections, to give our important contribution to planning and support people capable of implementing them, bringing the municipality of Siena back to having that important role of reference for citizens, businesses and voluntary associations social. The world has changed and Siena with it, passing through the tragic period of the loss of the main economic reference, the MPS bank. We have two paths in front of us: one is to think of the good old days, of memories, a typical moment of senility; the second is to start from our identity, from the values of the past, from our individual and collective stories to make choices that can be positive for the present and give hope to our children in the future”.
“These are some of the topics we will address. The first question is that relating to work, placing the entrepreneur who wants to do in the most favorable conditions and creating the conditions to attract investments in our area in all sectors, removing all the bureaucratic obstacles that discourage those who want to do, encouraging, at the same time, with positive actions, entrepreneurship and the work of young people and women”.
“The second question relates to social and health services, with both a young and elderly population increasingly in need of qualified services to support the family such as kindergartens, canteens, centers for young people, care for the elderly, day care centres, building a support network for families between the public and private sectors. Together with the health needs that are growing due to the average age of the people, services that must be ever closer to the citizens, bringing so much of the health care back into the public sector that it is becoming private and available to those with huge economic resources”.
“The third question refers to the themes of culture, food and wine and tourism. There is too much unexpressed potential in our city. Starting from the Santa Maria della Scala which continues to be an empty box without a guide where it is not possible to create synergies with the Metropolitan Opera of the Cathedral; establish and make fruitful relations with the Pinacoteca and the new director. The Enoteca disaster still weighs more than not having an idea of how to have a profitable relationship with the territory of our province and how to enhance our local food and wine excellence.
“These are just some of the points that we intend to explore and share with those who want to make a programmatic and ideal journey with us. Action and Italia Viva di Siena will confront all those civic and political realities that want to stay on the merits of the questions, without ideologies. Because no curse condemns us to have to choose between the disasters of the populists and those of the sovereigns and with this we unequivocally trace which are our tables of dialogue with the other political forces “.
“It is obviously understood that Azione and Italia Viva Siena, if political programmatic convergences are not reached with the Sienese parties and/or the Civic Movements (obviously excluding the 5 Star Movement and the Brothers of Italy) will present an autonomous list with its own symbols and candidates. Our federation wants to contribute to being the engine of renewal and change that our city would need so much”.
