The new council of Loiri Porto San Paolo is ready. After the decision of the TAR which imposed on the mayor, Francesco Lai, to recompose the executive by balancing gender representation, the councilor Francesca Asole, designated the Social Services, enters the majority benches. " Now we continue to work in the exclusive interest of our fellow citizens", commented the mayor of Gallura, who reconfirms the powers to Andrea Piredda, deputy mayor and councilor for public works, Alessia Folino to urban planning and Riccardo Biancu to Tourism and Sport.
To leave the chair in favor of the new councilor was Antonello Molino who, assures Lai "will continue to carry on the work carried out in recent months, with seriousness and competence, from the benches of the municipal council alongside the Mayor with specific important delegations" . to impose a reshuffle of the executive on the coastal municipality was the sentence of the administrative court to which the Regional Equality Warren, Maria Tiziana Putzolu, had resorted to, upon notification by the council minority.
"The obstructive action of the minority had the only effect of strengthening even more the work of the majority, which travels quickly to respect the commitments made with the voters last June", says the mayor. the patchy application of the Law of the Rio.
The legislation prescribes that in the councils of municipalities with a population greater than 3,000 inhabitants, neither sex can be represented to an extent lower than 40 percent, with arithmetic rounding. Last June Francesco Lai, for his second term, had composed the council with 3 men and one woman, excluding the office of mayor from the calculation.
"The absurdity of the rule that provides (alternately) the count of the mayor, within the percentage to be respected, despite not being appointed but directly elected by the citizens", commented Lai yesterday, also critical of the parity councilor . "Rather, the conduct of the regional councilor for equality leaves amazed who, despite being aware of dozens of cases identical or similar to that of the Municipality of Loiri Porto San Paolo, if only because she asked for an account through formal access to the documents in his capacity as a public official, however, he mysteriously filed an appeal only against our municipality ”.
