The mayor Sala in the City Council defends his work and admits: “I thought not to go on”, but he does not resign, instead he jumps the councilor for urban regeneration, Giancarlo Tancredi.
He speaks of “confused days” and “certainties that falter” the mayor of Milan Beppe Sala in the opening of his speech to the City Council. The first citizen therefore goes to the attack of the media, claiming to have known only from the newspapers of be investigated And not having received any warranty notice, ensuring: “My hands are clean”.
After focusing on the “Pirellino affair”, defending his work, Beppe Sala attacks: «Since the judiciary is the only body in charge of the communication of these documents, why were this information passed to the media?». There was also space for an appeal to his majority, in which the mayor claims the “progressive” course of his administrations, while the serious problems that afflict the city have been liquidated by the fact that “Milan runs at great speed, and not everything we have attempted has the chrism of perfection”.
He also defends “the verticalization of living” the mayor, claiming that this helps the livability of the city and its regeneration green. In short, by room in Milan everything is fine, there is some problems, of course, but as in every great metropolis. The ironic question of which city Beppe Sala is spontaneously arises, because its reconstruction would hardly find most of the Milanese.
The first citizen therefore calls his majority to collect, declaring that he has received more emails, messages and phone calls these days than after his election, «I seriously thought about the possibility of not going onFinally, the mayor admits, Before saying “motivated more than ever to go on in the work that the Milanese entrusted us”.
After the mayor, it was the turn of the commissioner of urban regeneration, Giancarlo Tancrediinvestigated in the judicial investigation. Who has greatly explained that he had given his resignation today“I can only get back to the judicial authorities”, but still defending his work and stating that he has a clean consciousness. Tancredi then attacks part of the left, guilty of having offered him as a scapegoat on the media pillory.
We then moved on to the debate among the city councilors, where the center -right minority went to the hall attack. The councilor Riccardo Truppo (Parent Fdi) highlighted the split in the left, asking, for example, what is the strategy for San Siro, given the continuous quarrels between Verdi and Pd. Truppo therefore speaks of “a immobilized Milan», Explaining that the resignation request is the daughter of the incompetence of the whole junta.
On mobility, Fdi’s group leader underlined the decrease of 400 thousand races in one year of public transport, also attacking the management of micromabilityfor example cycling, which has caused numerous deaths for example for the cycle paths “drawn on the ground” to the “beautiful and better”. “Resignation is the only credible answer,” he thundered in the stroke closing.
Also on the attack Silvia Sardoneof the League, which reports some (in hindsight) unfortunate declarations of the mayor, in which he stated that his administration was incorruptible. Sardone continues: «You talked about a sparkling fifteen years of real estate, but who wrote the speech? What will remain of her? The cycle paths in Buenos Aires redone three times? Or the ban on smoke? Perhaps the properties given to social centers? Go home!».
The city councilor of Fdi is also attacking, Marco Cagnolatiwho has paid attention to the thousands of Milanese families who, despite having nothing to do with judicial investigations, have seen the construction sites of their future houses seized: “Now explained to suspended families, they have those who have paid anticipation for a house and to date do not know when and how he will be able to live in a property that is not there; In six months I have seen the resignation of two councilors, it is undeniable that to date the administration on the urban planning is completely plaster and will be so from here to the next two years. We need a total reset, I do not ask you to resign for warranty notices and investigations, I ask you to take a step back to Milan and the Milanese, resign! ».
