Robbio, Gianni Cerutti is the first candidate for the 2019 vote and displaces everyone: "I renounce the salary for the mayor"
As a blogger very attentive to the reality of "his" Robbio as a candidate for the upcoming municipal elections in spring 2019.
An almost "inevitable" candidate for the heavy climate that was experienced in Robbio during the mandate of the outgoing mayor, Roberto Francese, ended up in an uproar made up of complaints and judicial complaints against a series of people guilty, ultimately, of having expressed opinions in open contrast with the mayor.
Chief among these is Gianni Cerutti, entrepreneur by trade and blogger who founded the Puntura Robbiese, the Facebook page that was highlighted in the years of the French junta as the real free means of information for Robbio. And now Cerutti welcomes the many requests of his fellow citizens and breaks the delay.
"I am applying for mayor of Robbio in the next elections - comments Cerutti avoiding preambles - and the list will simply be called" Cerutti sindaco ". As I said in the past, I will do the mayor for free, giving up about 2000 euros a month in salary because for me politics must mean serving and not serving. In the capital of Volunteering, which is my Robbio, why not also have the policy made by volunteers? I feel that way. I don't want to cost the robbiesi anything; and it bothers me that up until yesterday he managed to maintain himself and then suddenly he seems to need the citizens' money just to be able to live. If you take the money away from the mayor's seat, all you have to do is sit down to really work.
A kind of blasphemy in a Lomellina where the mayors are all obviously looking for direct or indirect income, from their administrative offices. Not only salaries really exaggerated compared to the commitment that involves the management of microscopic countries, but also a long series of "eat" for free for festivals, small halls, celebrations of all kinds, "blessed" by the mayors with their legs under the table.
"The current mayor, when he was an assessor - still remembers Cerutti, referring to the outgoing mayor - gathered in Robbio over 400 signatures for lowering political and parliamentary salaries and then keeping all the salaries at most at the first municipal council; and now not going to work anymore it went to doubling, that is almost 2000 euros a month. With my puncture Robbiese in Facebook - thanks to many Robbies who write to us every day - I have always said what is wrong, denouncing their problems and needs, always remaining at the side of their interests, through images and documents that are unacceptable. Now the time has come to move from words to concrete facts, which I like best. I'm sick of playing the referee by pulling out a myriad of yellow and red cards to defend my favorite team, the citizens. I want to play my game to improve my city ".
Clear words, in the style of Cerutti, accustomed to not sending them to say and facing head-on the many retaliations that the rooms of the Della Robbia power reserved to him in the past. Because to tell the truth it seemed to Robbio that he gave so much discomfort to the mayor, who did not spare him from legal proceedings, as he did not spare the informant director Lomellino, Giovanni Rossi, or the former municipal secretary Giovanna Natale: all actions ended in nothing.
"How do I want to be a mayor? - asks Cerutti - Remaining myself. Consistency in the first place. I will not make unrealistic promises full of sweet smoke, I leave them to my opponents by the fake smile that are unbeatable masters, between one aperitif and another. I will be the one who promises less. My candidacy is the evolution of my Robbiese puncture; we say that it will be a shift from theory to practice. I can't wait to start working hard.
But what will be the political position of Gianni Cerutti ready to run for the candidacy for mayor?
A more than legitimate question after the outgoing mayor Roberto Francese has been photographed on several occasions with various exponents of all the parties, only to be rather ignored on public occasions by the same, with few exceptions
"I do not have political cards in my pocket - the candidate immediately clarifies - so I am not a member of any party, while the current mayor has had those of the Northern League, the Democratic Party and now those of Forza Italia. No robbiese will ever be betrayed or sold off to the highest bidder for some non-Della Robbia interest; and no robbiese will be used as an ATM for personal careerism. I'll be a mayor who listens to what my people want and then put their needs into practice. I will not impose my will against them. I will be a mayor who is on the street, not locked up in my office to play with my cell phone or to think about his personal career ".
A clear reference to the phobia of social networks that Cerutti imputes to the outgoing mayor, who on the web over the past few years has really put it a little.
On the contrary, Gianni Cerrutti promises to put one thing at the center of his action: common sense and simplicity, to keep every promise, because every unfulfilled promise is a debt to fellow citizens.
And at the center of everything will be the government of transparency.
"Everyone will have the same possibilities with me - emphasizes Cerutti forcefully, suggesting a clear cut with the past - all it takes is hiring or money to friends; just working bags always the usual; enough advice from thousands of useless euros; just hands in our pockets to take more and more money, making us poorer than five years ago; enough debts for fake and useless jobs; enough money to non-robbiesi companies; enough personal asphalts; enough 1.6 million euros power plants entrusted to the company where among their managers there is their former assessor. My program will be short and above all achievable; my team is made up of concrete people and everyone is looking forward to working hard to improve our community. It will be a perfect mix of novelty and experience ”. Cerutti then recalls that Robbio as a locomotive and point of reference for the countries of the area was made to become the rear light. Instead he must return to great and this will be the first commitment of a team, together with all the Robbies.
"Together we win !! And if we win Robbio wins !! "is the slogan launched by Cerutti, already a collaborator for several national and foreign newspapers and since 2010, in the midst of the global economic crisis and with practically no euro in his pocket, the founder of his small company, the" Passaggio Cravatte ”Which creates Robbio hand-made ties exported all over the world. For him, politics is just a passion. Can anyone else say it in Lomellina?
