Today only 9% of the population has faith in political parties which have by now been reduced, at best, to advertising marketing agencies and, at worst, to business committees. Even the citizens of Catania have stopped hoping for the politicians, reproaching them for their inability to interrogate the people’s requests, to listen to the silent cry of the least, to offer a synthesis of possible solutions, to operate with the light of the common good rather than with that of the partisan interests. They are called “political forces”, but they are neither forces nor politics. Are those who say that Catania is becoming worse than a swamp right because at least some elementary form of life resists in the swamp? Or we can still hope in a better city by taking action, all of us, to make it a reality?
We at CittàInsieme persist in hoping and taking an interest together with all those citizens who wish to live in a city worthy of the name .
For this reason, from Monday 23 January and until the eve of the municipal elections, we will launch a cycle of meetings dedicated to our city, to those who live in it and to those who, often in silence and with great difficulty, continue to keep it alive .
The first five appointments will be dedicated to the most burning issues of our city. Starting from the first, dedicated to a simple question to ask, difficult to answer: Who’s in charge in Catania?
We will talk about it on Monday 23 January at 20.00 in CittàInsieme (entrance from Via Siena, 1) with Adriana Laudani (President of the “Memoria e Futuro” Association), Antonio Fisichella (author of the book “A city in hand”), Marisa Acagnino ( Magistrate).
