I participated from birth to the civil list - even then it was called United for Volterra - and after the elections won I rejoiced, thinking that young people screened by the elections Volterra guide would lead the new policy on the hill. I hope that the new forces would have the ability to change the mentality of government that Volterra had operated for many years, going to undermine the old and worn-party management principles applied to the city. M the light of the facts wrong, and how was I wrong!
Not only the old ways have not disappeared but, it seems, have been corroborated by the "policy making", and on this altar "of doing" everything is justified, any nonsense.
We had argued that the policy decisions of the list could be born and develop with the participation of all, pursuing the need (urgency) of transparency and participation. Methods feel indispensable in efficiently managing the public good, at least one part of us, and apparently embraced by all. In the election campaign, the agreement on these principles interest, then everything changed.
We had thought that the list its new civic and political way of asking, manage, share could serve as an example to the traditional political forces and that, with time, induced a serious reflection on their past be able to see in our city a more effective and sound management. Instead, from the beginning of last year the issues of transparency and participation have led to considerable debate and internal divisions, which have had serious repercussions in the majority. Until the birth of the original project, the movement that relies precisely these early inspirations of the Civic Party. Although members of the original project have all left their administrative positions, the party is not satisfied. Evidently it is proper transparency, democratic control is to prevent and combat. Hence the angry assaults on City Councilman, Louis Cocucci: a serious episode of political and human social behavior, never before seen in our town. For what purpose?. What is the purpose of this aggression staff for a minority shareholding of the rules written by others about 25 years ago? A shameful fight for the preservation of power, without the hassle of democratic counterweights. For these reasons I can not recognize more in this civil list, so barbarous and away from its initial settings. Today, with deep regret, I think the experience Civic Party and I think it failed miserably - to avoid doing damage to the city, now seriously conceivable - it is better to think responsibly to return to the polls.
