Hospital Transparency and participation: the position of Left Ecology and Freedom



The closure of the San Pio sanctioned in 2004 by Lease and now confirmed, despite himself, by Vendola, has raised many controversies. What is surprising is that such arguments seem to affect most political circles that citizenship. It would seem that people have very clear that the decision of the junta Vendola not suit the present situation of the hospital, which since 2004 has been everything except a hospital (had only twenty beds in the medical department and a small department of psychiatry). Not else can you explain why, contrary to what happened to Mottola, Massafra Cisternino and almost all the efforts made at fields have seen a lack of public participation and high turnout of politicians. In particular, the mayors of fields, and Squinzano Trepuzzi seem to be at the forefront of a battle against Vendola and flowers, which calls for the reopening of the four basic departments.

While it is true that in 2009 Vendola announced the reopening of the hospital field, the other must be admitted that from 2009 to today the situation is completely changed. The drastic cut of the transfer of resources and the fall in bed imposed by the national government, forced to revise the commissioner Fiore those who were its targets.

Moreover, the same administrators Fields, after this election, with a letter written by Deputy Mayor Pagliardini announced that, given the financial situation inherited from the previous administration, would be forced to relinquish many of their points election program. In other words, since the money does not exist and that the beds should be reduced, something must be cut.

The mayors of fields, and Squinzano Trepuzzi, which are long-running politicians should explain what they would do them, explain that if they would choose to reopen a closed hospital for seven years or close another currently active and well-functioning as a cover. Or maybe you would choose to reduce the number of beds at the Vito Fazzi?

E 'is quite clear that the position of the three mayors is absolutely instrumental . It 'obvious that the mayor of Squinzano's interest to attack a political council of a different color, although squinzanesi citizens are served well-back from the hospital of St. Peter. It 'all too evident then that the mayor of Trepassey's interest to revive the faded image of his administration on the eve of the vote in local elections in order to facilitate the future candidate for mayor of his coalition, as it is clear that the mayor of fields have the interest to shift the attention of the citizens on the hospital to hide the inaction of his administration.

All three have their own benefit, therefore, it exploited the "question of the hospital," but they also know perfectly well that with the criteria and cuts imposed by the Berlusconi government, the reopening of the hospital is very difficult .

Perhaps it would be better for the whole if our directors, rather than exploit the question, did a concrete proposal, such as Environment and Freedom Left: strengthen clinics and 118, create a service first responders 24 hours at 24, rationalizing expenditure related to health ASL transferring all locations in the area Fields of Salento in a single public structure.

municipal budget: evidence of instability



Cristian Urbano

Concerns expressed by the last SEL June, when approving the budget of the municipality of Salento fields, have been reflected, unfortunately, not only during the two maneuvers of adjustment of the budget adopted in September and November 2010 respectively, but even early in the accounting records avutesi after December 31 last year.

We reported the critical nature of certain revenue that left no financial cover some items of expenditure and created a financial imbalance of 320,000 €! As predicted, the coverage of this imbalance is the result not later than 31/12/2010, and so we find ourselves today with a deficit of about € 500,000, so even much higher than estimated. The city administration has been stubborn to believe they can cover the deficit with extraordinary revenues and uncertain, however, without complying with the rules and principles of public accounting, and totally ignoring the negative opinion of the head of accounting and auditor. One can not help but point out the inability and improvisation of this administration: a year ago was known its intention to dispose of the former municipal slaughterhouse, but the rules for the sale of property was approved only last December. And then you are not taking into account the time required for the preparation and publication of the notice of sale. Result? The first call (Also published in December) went to the desert and we can only hope for the outcome of the second call, from which depend the salvation viability of our common, however, will face a very difficult 2011, as a result of less government transfers to approximately 300,000 euro, the result of an economic policy "tears and blood" Tremonti and license plate of the first effects of a bad federalism League!

In times of crisis, any entity, public or private that is, it should rethink how to manage their resources (scarce) and aim for a more efficient management by eliminating waste. That does not mean "not spending" but to invest to implement the measures which, in the medium to long term, allowing it to obtain the benefits that become structural. Priorities include the collection and boost energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic rooftop), two areas where improvements have reduced spending, without adversely affecting the level of service to citizens.

Our dear administrators continue to handle it instead to the sound of public expenditure and unnecessary investments, jobs to friends, partners and boyfriends . The hope is always that the administration Palasciano to honor the promises made in election campaign but the construction of the "inverted pyramid" is not open yet (probably because we realized that an inverted pyramid can not stand up!). So my advice is: give yourself a move, or admit your inability and go home!

Touring Performance Tires What Is The Difference?

The alternative that never arrives



Gilberto call them

how many will be disappointed by the Democratic Party is expected to field a clear answer and seeks to deny the harsh accusations from the center-right minority of alleged cases of "parentopoli" and "sociopoli" within the municipality.

The response of the local Democratic Party, in fact, is not worthy of a great reformist party and center. To accusations of the PDL, that the council would rely directed assignments always the same professionals who are somehow related or close to the directors, the majority responded with a list of the disasters of the junta Como!

Those who expected a blunt denial of the merits of the facts alleged by the center, will have to accept it because such denial most likely will never arrive. And those who supported the listing of the Democratic Party, believe that this could represent a real alternative to bad governance, the practices of patronage and personalism of the center, they realized that it committed an error of assessment.

remain current, therefore, the reasons that a year and a half ago we were taken to promote Campintesta, the list that brought a real alternative, made of innovative programmatic content and democratic methods. For this we were in stark contrast with the then leadership of the Democratic Party, a group manager old, dull and unable to understand the company, which failed when the opposition was unable ever to counter the actions of Como and today it is able to innovate how to administer, with assessors as daffodils did not notice their blatant errors.

Moreover, what you might expect from a Democratic Party that refused any dialogue with the left to tie into an alliance with a handful of recycled center? What could you expect from a Democratic Party that wanted to impose a candidate for mayor by refusing any kind of public participation and other political movements? The truth is that the Democratic Party can aspire to become a major reformist party only when you choose to renew, said with a formula that we have often used "in the methods, content, and in people, even at the local level.

It is up to the youth of that party, to the sound of it, to many voters and many electric and we really believe in the original design of the PD, it is for them to be heard in a decisive manner, and it is their responsibility not to accept the compromise proposed by a ruling class that will not change and that has no interest in change. Until that happens, we will continue to have a Democratic Party capable perhaps to win the election, but certainly incapable of governing and improving the conditions of the citizens of fields.

Opportunity, not folklore!



Act of Crucifix

I'm funny how you always strive to interpret the thought or words of others, maybe explained through an article as a sort of personal attack or non-recognition of the actions of those who hold a particular office. It seems to me that a spirit of pure partisanship or political affiliation, you should instead give proper attention to the needs of an economic sector in a state of crisis.

interventions requested by me (see Campintesta, November 2010, ed) are perfectly in line with policies in the development, support, enhancement of activities in many communities take. In reality different and vital, in fact, the integration of trade with the development of tourism and cultural activities on the agenda, the initiatives of trade are considered an opportunity and not "folk ideas", as it seems some think member of the majority!

The economic crisis and the consequent drop in consumption we bring it all back in 2011: this will lead to a reduction of the trade turnover and, more importantly, corporate profitability, with some times disastrous consequences on the family budget of those merchants.

The intention of some of my recent considerations was simply to want to encourage the administration to try to work synergistically with the various existing institutions and working in the tourist / commercial / cultural to promote a circuit by merging culture, traditions, trade, tourism and entertainment . You can not think, for instance, that thousands of visitors each year populate the City Paper's stay outside the city, which fields do not even touch on: This is a missed opportunity! While the regulatory, planning and providing a basis for future development activities in our country is important, it is equally true that immediate actions are necessary times for operations to liven up the city.
