The moderate, reformist and centered Democratic Party no longer exists. Further confirmation of the radicalization of the Schlein secretariat comes from Florence. The City Council voted on an agenda, presented by Dmitrij Palagi and Antonella Bundu, representatives of the Sinistra Progetto Comune group. Approved thanks to the decisive vote of the Democratic Party. Object of the act: the right to vote in administrative elections for non-EU citizens legally residing in Italy. Translated for the less attentive: ensure that all immigrants who landed in our country by boat can have a say at the polls to decide the next president of the Chamber. Or at least “persons of non-Italian citizenship habitually resident in Italy, therefore registered as residents in all respects”. An act, let’s be clear, of direction. The Municipality obviously does not have the power to modify this law. However, it is quite clear that this is a document with an extremely political value.
The brief asks Mayor Dario Nardella “to act as a promoter, through participation in all institutional consultation forums in which the Municipality participates, to urge Parliament to approve as quickly as possible the aforementioned laws of popular proposal and the ordinary laws relating to the vote in local elections. It therefore invites Parliament and the Government to urgently adopt the necessary rules to recognize non-EU foreign citizens and non-EU foreign citizens with legal residence who have reached the age of majority and reside in Italy the right to vote according to the rules mentioned and in analogy with the regulations foreseen for EU citizens.” In the classroom that had, among others, Piero Bargellini and Giorgio La Pira, councilor Donata Bianchi manages to reach very high peaks. “When we take the tram , when we go to schools, when we go to hospitals, we realize that the assemblies, a bit like this assembly made up only of white indigenous people, no longer represent anyone”.
A surreal assessment, which the leader of the IDE group, Alessandro Draghi, also spoke about. “I would never have dreamed of commenting on the skin color of those elected to council. In local elections there are preferences: citizens choose, by writing their surname on the ballot paper, who they want to be represented.”
