A very important election campaign is looming in Rome, given the city’s now comatose state. The problem, however, is finding the right people to deal with the condition of neglect that has characterized the Eternal City for far too long. Instead, hearing the names circulating about safe or potential candidates for the role of First Citizen makes you want to get your hands on your hair.
For the love of God, as I always speak as an independent and neutral observer, I do not encourage anyone and I certainly do not support this or that party: but to think that the Capital ends up in the hands of Carlo Calenda, or returns to those of Virginia Raggi, it takes a long time. little discouragement.
Let’s start with the first. With Carlo Calenda, who sailed from job to job at a young age, Rome would go from frying pan to fire. We have said it in recent days:
“First as manager, then as Minister of Public Works, the leader of Action not only proved to be totally incapable, but also caused enormous economic damage to the citizens, to the point of being considered by many as the worst minister of the Italian Republic. Suffice it to remember, just to cite a few examples, his disastrous management of Nola Interport and the enormous losses suffered by the company, his sensational failures as Minister in the Almaviva, Fincantieri, Alitalia, Ilva, IIA, Mercatone Uno, Blutec, K. archives – Flex, the 162 business crisis tables open to the Ministry of Economic Development and abandoned by Calenda, with 180 thousand workers abandoned to fend for themselves”.
The same is, of course, with Virginia Raggi. In this case, there is also the aggravating factor: the abyss has already been reached in the years of its meeting, and the Roman citizens have already touched it with their hands.
It takes little to realize that Rome now looks like a Third World city. The degradation, indisputable, is now the owner; graffiti and writing on the walls that no one erases anymore, dirt everywhere, road signs now unusable alternate with the usual problems of the capital: waste, eternal road works, furniture thrown everywhere, wastebaskets and electrical systems in a state of total decay .
If we did not know that we are in the Eternal City, we could think of a city that was devastated or abandoned, perhaps due to some recent conflict. And to think that the (first) mayoral candidacy had been accompanied by promises of total discontinuity: nothing, after a few years, has really changed.
In Rome, for a lifetime, it seems that no one is ruling. On the contrary, with each follow-up, the already huge criticisms that arose in the past get worse and worse. The results-announcements of the different councils, always abundant, never change.
So let me tell you: it’s certainly not Carlo Calenda and Virginia Raggi that this exhausted city needs. But with new faces, clear and innovative ideas, bold and ambitious visions. Time is running out and we can no longer put off what we should have done: start a comprehensive renovation work.
Save, once and for all, the city of Rome. Before it is too late.
