Toti case, governor Rocca: “Regional Presidents in Italy without any guarantee”

"One of the themes I asked myself regarding the immensity of the measures we sign: an enormous responsibility"

ROME – “Not only is it possible, unfortunately this is the reality we are dealing with and it is the result of 30 years of small demagoguery that began with Tangentopoli: this should be the theme of comparison between the different political sensitivities”. Thus the president of the Lazio Region, Francesco Rocca, starting from the story of the arrest of the president of LiguriaGiovanni Toti, expressed himself to Tgcom 24 on the fact that the governors of the Regions do not have (unlike parliamentarians, for example) any type of guarantee to protect their work. “I have never explored the issue of guarantees for us presidents, we certainly have enormous responsibilities also of a legislative nature – continued Rocca – The issue is that today to re-establish that system of guarantees and balancing of powers desired by the founding fathers we should rediscover that common framework and that ability to dialogue on what unites and designs the playing field on which political forces compete and not this violent and often superficial clash. We have the responsibility to govern complexity and if we are the first to trivialize the complexity in this clash we do not help our communities advance”.

“THE WORST OF ITALY HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF TANGENTOPOLI”

“When I accepted the candidacy, one of the issues I asked myself was the immensity of the provisions that we sign and are instructed by other offices. It’s an enormous responsibility but now this is the regulatory framework – added Rocca – I believe in dialogue, I am optimistic and I think we will be able to find this ability to return to working on the constitutional framework and to give ourselves common rules accepted by all without making more use of demagoguery”, continued Rocca and then returned. to the Tangentopoli affair. “We have become incapable of learning from the past and from that very bad experience. I remember the coins, we have brought out the worst in our country, on one side and on the other. Scandalous and unacceptable corruption phenomena have emerged but this has been transformed into a drive towards demagogy and anti-politics which has produced demagogic results which have had an impact up until today: look at the superbonus or other measures and what results they have given”.
