GENOVA (ITALPRESS) – An institutional case has exploded in Genoa for the exclusion of the trade union Silvia Salis from the ribbon cutting ceremony for the 66th International Boat Show. On the stage were invited the Premier Giorgia Meloni, the president of Confindustria Nautica Piero Formenti and the president of the Marco Bucci Region, but not the first town. In recent years the opening had always opened with the national anthem and the flag, without cutting the tape, but the representatives of the Municipality and Region had always been put on the same floor.
Sources of Palazzo Chigi have made it known that “Giorgia Meloni was surprised and sorry to note, during the inauguration ceremony of the Nautical Exhibition of Genoa, that Silvia Salis was not present on stage. During the ceremony, Meloni asked the president of Confindustria Nautica, Piero Formenti, the reason for the absence of Salis, learning at that time that it was a mistake of the organization of the Salone”.
The President of the Council then called the mayor of Genoa to express his regret for what happened this morning at the inauguration of the 66th International Boat Show. It is what is learned from sources of the Municipality of Genoa. Salis said he was sorry for the institutional outburst immediately from the city, he stressed that the responsibilities for the event and the reason why the president of the Liguria Region Marco Bucci was present. The mayor thanked the president for the call.
“I represent the city of Genoa, I do not want to make controversy – commented Salis on margin -. I must say that if the goal, as it is rumoured, but I hope it is not so, it was to pay attention, I don’t think it has been achieved.” Then he added: “I would just like to remember that we are on loan to the institutions. It was a shame, of course, not being on stage, but what I want to transfer you is the sense of service towards our assignment.”.
“They are not personal assignments and must not be personalized in any way.” “I don’t know anything about it – Bucci answered. They called me and I went up. A bomb? I don’t see these things, but I don’t know anything. From the ceremonial they didn’t even tell me I had to go up. I always went as mayor.”.
“I don’t know if there have been errors of scale, I don’t take care of these things – then intervened the president of Confindustria Nautica Piero Formenti -. What I can say is that the Genoa Boat Show is the home of the mayor Salis, with which we collaborate very well. Nautical Confindustria is transversal, it’s not partisan, it’s nowhere. I don’t want to be involved in the election campaign.” Then, still rooted by the chroniclers: “Do we have to shoot someone in the square? Should we stone someone? Stop. I, if I had on stage the mayor Salis, would have been very happy.”.
Unanimous indignation in the centerleft of Genoa and Liguria. For the PD in Region “a very serious institutional gap and a lack of respect for an entire community. The eternal shame that this right forces us to assist and that drives us to a greater commitment so that the future is less black.” “A choice that leaves frankly disconcerted – adds the M5s -. But the question at this point is: who and why did he leave Salis out? This is not about galaxies, nor a personal matter.”.
For Avs “excluding the mayor means excluding the city of Genoa. The lack of invitation to cut the tape is a lack of respect for the city.” Italy Viva speaks of “unparalleled institutional symbus”. Action considers it an offense to the city and democratic respect.”.
“In relation to the news circulated on the press we point out that the ceremonial of the inauguration of the 66th International Boat Show did not preview the participation in the cut of the tape neither of the President of Liguria Region, Marco Bucci nor of the mayor of Genoa, Silvia Salis. It also clarifies that the Presidency of the Council is completely outside of what has happened.” So in a note the organizers of the International Boat Show.
