Abuse of office? Battle of the left, says the mayor of Parma Michele Guerra

“The paralysis of the administrations blocks urgent interventions on health, education and labor policies, going to hit the weakest groups”, the center-left mayor tells us

“The mayors have been asking for it for many years, as was reiterated during the last Anci meeting”, he says Michael War“civic” mayor of Parma, elected in June 2022 at the head of a broad center-left coalition (from the left to the Democratic Party to Italia Viva), alluding to the intervention of the Minister of Justice Charles Nordio on the crime of abuse of office, with cancellation provided for in the bill approved a few days ago by the Council of Ministers. “In 93 percent of cases, investigations for abuse of office do not even reach judgment,” said the dem mayor of Bari and ANCI president Antonio Decaro. But yesterday, during the opening speech of the Pd direction, the secretary Elly Schlein reiterated a very lukewarm line on the matter. “First of all the numbers speak, not for nothing mentioned by the Anci”, says Guerra, former councilor in Federico Pizzarotti’s de-grillized Parma and former supporter of Stefano Bonaccini in the Pd primaries.
