speech in Council on 1 of my colleague Fred Pirone
Taking the 'importance of the concept of method, of which he has already spoken to my colleague Anna Paola Peratoner, highlighting the centrality of citizen participation the management of public affairs, adds that
We believe it is essential therefore that Udine for its citizens becomes concrete and symbolic construction of space , principle of meaning for those who 's living and the principle of intelligibility for those who observe : the 'organization of space and the creation of places is one of the issues at stake and one of the modes of individual and collective practices of contemporary life. What role can thus have a 'local authority? The question is not purely technical or general ethics, but a chief concerns in the contents of the policy:
must ensure that institutional mechanisms are reviewed in order to put a brake on the democratic deficit in today accused the so-called anti-politics politics. We too, here in Udine device, we are not immune from the feedback mechanism of the crisis in Italian politics which has fallen, whose subjectivity is sunk. The policy can no longer speak, or at least does not speak in terms of how it did before. You can not expect to give answers or merely provide just solutions to the everyday and patents: the policy is not detached from civil society, has stuck to it as well as being unable to read and decipher the data of the same company, scope of special interests and selfish corporate, it is unfortunately only as a passive reflection and unconditional. The lack of political subjectivity is therefore all the prodrome 'emergence of an uneasiness of citizens against the proposed policy. Instead, we want an 'administration, in addition to being able to listen well and to show concrete solver, you put that in perspective as a high political sense who can do and ask questions, which is orientated in civic responsibility and democracy;
renegotiate the method is equivalent to redefining what the meaning priorities to be assigned to 'intervention in the reality of political practice, in particular, this arises in those fields, too limited and that found in the past a chronic and structural hiding 's administration.
Take for example the problem of traffic, more and more chaotic and disordered also in Udine quiet. We 's agreement with you when he says that "to solve the traffic problems it must be assumed by an' analysis of traffic flows and the needs of different users who come to town." Rightly, then you have (it reads) "reducing the 'use of private vehicles" and "improving the cycling." Findings that there are absolutely in agreement. We read in the press that the junta is thinking of 800 new parking spaces (including underground parking).
Set priorities for meaning In this case we believe is equivalent to working with realism, that is, listening to what the needs of the population and evaluating what 'is the rational distribution of the parking areas in which they will intervene, so as to reach a compromise between the territory and users. We want to work so that it points to ease traffic congestion near the center of the city, rather than accommodate and facilitate the 'arrival of cars with parking facilities megalomaniacs. We must put the citizen in a position to uphold the 'alternative to' use up near the center of your car: it is an 'alternative it difficult for the average citizen because he considers it includes expensive in terms time and will, at times even anti-economic. Why do not you think then of those in the suburbs, where public service is weak and unsteady?, Then why do not you think the high cost of bus service? (Spoken by almost one euro per ticket, valid for 60 minutes), why not then think seriously to facilitate those students, those older people, those commuters who need to can not move with the 'car? Why do not you think then in the service of parking-exchangers, little or no advantage? while all those who want to visit their loved one to 'Gervasutta hospital on Sunday or public holidays must necessarily rely on a taxi from the station, because of bus there are none!
speak of some themes:
Immigration-integration: We have already expressed our discomfort and dismay of our constituents regarding the appointment of Mr Volpe Pasini as delegate to the mayor's relationship with the citizens on security. We will work with conviction and commitment, Mr. Mayor, this came together and this majority, so that the system of civil citizenship, which is the system that we have more generalizable, it is claimed that the system characterizes social relations in this city: not to develop a case 'idea from' humanism reaches Rousseau tearing modernity. Caution But the climate of suspicion and intolerance towards foreigners that threatens to cause the approval of the security package. The entry into force of this package, which reveals a marked choice in the creation of an administrative-penal system of inequality under the pretense of curbing illegal immigration, is actually deeply undermining the stability and positivity of a process of reciprocity and cultural exchange between the city and the migrant population here in Udine put to work for years many migrants' associations, volunteers as well as many political parties and trade unions. We trust in this council and its mayor, to continue to support initiatives and events in which the migrant population has a very active and proactive, thus giving priority to the common sense of nationality and experimenting with new ways of social inclusion.
Adviser's proposal is certainly important from a symbolic point of view, although it can not exhaust the complexity of this issue: the board must be elected by migrant communities in a democratic and participatory process, which complies with a criterion of representativeness and not a simple appointment. If you want to make sure that migrant communities have really listening, we want to create a sort of Parlamentino, or commissions (unpaid of course), groups stable employment (health, employment, security) that together, Udine citizens and immigrants, and give support to the Adviser to the Mayor, developing collegiality that is essential for the 'integrity and' welcome. Safety is for everyone, including immigrants!
Centres: in recent years on the basis of what is today 's Law 29/2005 on regional trade, there was evidence of a problem set of trade policies. The liberalization of the openings under the pretense of balance between competition and non-tourist towns and provide consumers with an 'offer consistent, has not produced the desired effect, I quote a few:
Considering also the drop in consumption prices, for example, the centers have increased, bringing the system to an oligopoly (other than free competition!)
the quality is questionable.
The exercises are small to medium crushed by large organized distribution centers, both in malls and in the historic center of Udine;
The increase fan of 'employment has not been achieved: in the GDO, unable to cut fixed costs, reduces the staff, increasing workloads and growing job insecurity, work occasionally, part-time super-flexible, temporary work, a deterioration of labor relations;
Environmental impact almost never harmonic and traffic problems (just think of all 'street north of the city, along V.le Tricesimo) impossible even for a city of one hundred thousand inhabitants;
risks expressed by the review are that:
(1) the local shops are impoverishing;
(2) some suburbs risk becoming dormitories;
(3) the elderly and those people less self-sufficient from an economic point of view and physical which are in fact cut off from this mad race for consumption
From a cultural point of view then you are now consolidating a model that brings the city to focus uncritically consumption compared to the values \u200b\u200band bank holidays (now in fact 25 April, 1 May, etc., for the years of the center are a taboo!).
A 'order of January 18, 2008' s mayor Cecotti provides that only the old town (a former district) is considered tourist area of \u200b\u200bparticular interest: This therefore the 'exclusion from' mandatory obligation of the closing of retail outlets to Retail non-food items on Sundays and holy days. The band device is excluded from liberalization instead of hours, and then implement a program of compulsory closures approved by the Conference of Commons in the 'Inter-Territorial - Udine "for non-food businesses. The
Politics can not leave disorienati workers and citizens, must act on the prologue and here I set out first, to continue a discourse favoring a broader cultural perspective rather than critical model satisfy the market, hoping in vain for it to take better decisions. Is it not the task of politics and culture form the type of society in which we live?
There's goals is to quote 'agenda of' political agenda of this majority:
A) provide assistance to establish medium-to long-term aim to reduce traffic congestion along the access roads to the shopping centers will be fundamental to the New Master Plan;
B) go in the draft pedestrianize Mercatovecchio Street and the old town, not yielding to the concerns of those who would rather be reopened to traffic, considering the 'opportunities for involvement also in this sense of Viale Vittoria (because no one complains Friuli Doc?)
C) development of efficient urban public transport: the suburbs and places of public interest and public utility must have fast connections;
D) a tourist but as a civil Udine should establish mandatory closures at political and civil holidays relevant to its citizens, including that beyond the interests of one or the 'other company, there are individuals and families who need social protection.
Finally we applaud you, Mr. Mayor, and to those among his advisers have done their utmost so that 15 temporary workers of the town waiting to have a stabilizing, hopefully soon (before the Minister Brunetta drops his sword of Damocles) the peaceful economic and social stabilization this is a first sign of political virtuosity by this new administration.
