«The Conoci council cannot participate in the Board of Directors of the Alghero Foundation, placing it under commissionership, nor must the body itself submit its resolutions to the municipal council».
Thus the opposition council groups Per Alghero, Futuro Comune, Sinistra in comune, Pd and M5Stelle, who contest the "interference" of the municipal administration in the planning of the Carnival by the subsidiary.
«Resolution no. 1 of the year of the Conoci council, with which the board of directors of the Alghero Foundation is convened in the presence of the entire municipal executive, to define the Carnival program, to be submitted for subsequent approval by the council, is a political and legal absurdity", the opposition thunders. «First of all, because last 11 October, in the presence of the mayor, Mario Conoci, the board of directors of the Foundation decided on the 2024 activities, including the Carnival, providing for each macro-intervention the proposal of an expression of interest which, for carnival events, it has been regularly published and expires on January 23rd, precisely in implementation of the resolution of October 11th in which the mayor Mario Conoci took part. There is a risk, among other things, of prolonging a process that is already well behind schedule, in spite of the proclaimed programming".
According to the exponents of the groups Per Alghero, Futuro Comune Sinistra in comune, PD and M5Stelle «it is absolutely outside the statutory provisions, which in the last council session we modified precisely to broaden the provisions of supervision and control by the Municipality, careful to safeguard the autonomy of the investee, and not to encourage interference and mixing".
The Statute provides that a delegate of the assembly (the Municipality) can participate in the Board of Directors as an observer, permanently invited and without the right to vote, expressed annually by the assembly itself (today represented by the mayor). The Municipality issues authorizations only on a limited series of well-detailed extraordinary operations of the Foundation, not on demonstrations and events. And it expresses directions, which the Foundation may also, with good reason, not adhere to.
