Interview with Luca Trabucco The editorial this week published the full text of the interview with Luke Trabucco, leader of the PDL of Newfoundland B.ni, a mayoral candidate of the center of the latest elections.
Hello Luke, thanks for accepting to answer our questions.
paints a fictional scenario: a few hours in Newfoundland citizens will again be called to the polls, the last few minutes of silence election and you're on stage to give the last speech: "Dear voters, if I had to tell three key issues that would face an administration led by me now, they would ..
The scenario you painted is pushed far forward, for several reasons including "primarily" my eventual ricandidatura that is not at all obvious, in fact I want to clarify that first of all are the ideas and programming and then the people, the second aspect is the contextualization of any future elections, because if these events in the short term there would be a completely different situation that in three years. Certainly the present situation in which "survived" our town is extremely delicate because both structurally and economically the way the administration is no longer appropriate with the current times.
It is clear that the main objectives of a new administration is the vital
reform of local machine, then I think the optimization and saving public money by using internal resources which the City has widely available, a recovery of certain externally managed services through the company, significantly reducing the external advice on tax planning and that can be performed within our offices and then enhance the administrative capacity with the 'organization, timeliness of intervention and the spirit of service. Savings that would allow us to return to invest in services and facilities to the citizens, to maintain a balance of quality and cost proposal, and strengthen the network of social support in this time of crisis.
programming becomes of fundamental importance, now sadly forgotten, figure out which direction to bring Newfoundland, and urban planning with the sustainable development of new areas (industrial, commercial, residential, public) related to the recovery of old settlements and the Old Town and to the connection between them, the development of urban and suburban mobility also through alternative systems of navigation, location infrastructure is strictly necessary for our common and economically with the placement of targeted interventions to safeguard and develop our business, returning to attract investment in our region, improving the quality of the inside of our city, with the understanding that having other neighboring cities with more possibilities than our reality, we must be good to diversify the opportunities of our territory, pointing through informed choices and feasible to improve the quality of life in Newfoundland.
The administration should take responsibility (as well as schools) to bring the spirit or better education of a civic community through actions of information, control and management of services: if we really want to go in the direction of sustainability, we must begin to make real tracks, which committed the city to open to a policy of energy saving (mandatory in new construction) , the culture of water use (alternative fuel supplies differentiated), reduce production waste and increase recycling, using alternative means of travel. The decisive factor is that the government provides the tools for achieving sustainability and as agents and controller to enforce the rights and duties of citizens and to require the citizen compliance with the rules and coexistence. Bringing Newfoundland to invest in modernization and innovation, separate concepts, in order to improve the quality of the community.
Fini in his speech at Mirabello said: " It can not be part of something that no longer exists. The PDL does not exist anymore. Ultimately, it can speak of an enlarged force Italy .. " What do you feel to tell your electorate? Luca Trabucco voting to citizens who have made the cross symbol on the PDL? What scenarios are now open for you at the local level, against what is happening nationally?
Frankly what concerns me most is the general state in which they live today our policy from either side.
As for the local sphere, I would first like to thank those who have given us confidence in putting the vote on the PDL list. The citizens turned to reconfirm the commitment made a real and necessary change to our administrative management as outlined above is no longer in step with the times and highlights the profound shortcomings.
level "operational" using this term, I see big problems in Newfoundland following the decisions at the national level, because we have always expressed and maintain, first of all that is Newfoundland and the program and then the parties who wish to subscribe. Newfoundland lives in a phase that requires strong choices shared wide-ranging, and it is right that the PDL is look around in order to expand and deal with all the political forces present and future in order to achieve a common political line, addressed to growth of our city. At the local level, where most of us know, I think the time is ripe to grow and open minds to a strong policy of aggregation, which also targets people of outside the usual political roles, workers, students, businessmen, entrepreneurs, professionals, etc. .. dall'autoreferenzialità out that sometimes they have parties.
Personally I think it is also necessary to bring the people in politics and policy back to actively involve citizens in decisions, to ensure that there is a drift indifference to or ignorance of the facts.
Not to sound demagogic, but split the national level where everyone chooses according to his own sense of belonging, and the local level where there are different realities and needs, where people are different.
but remains as a benchmark, in both cases, the necessary moral and ethical conscience of the political issue, which is above every party and every flag. Personally I believe more in ideas and values \u200b\u200bthat made a priori in opposition, I hope to see a center (if that term still current) and modern liberal reformer.
Your experience in the PDL of Newfoundland, one of your budget on your business policy: A Reflection on the road that has been made so far, what could be a better deal? There were mistake? If so, what?
Unlike the problems at the national level, I think the PDL Terranuovese have conscientiously carried out its mandate until now, trying to involve citizens in the various initiatives, listening to and involving them in activities undertaken. I think as a force of opposition we have done an excellent job, both in the control objects in a manner determined by the choices that we were going against the common good is being proactive looking for shared (we have proposed a dozen motions in a year) fronts opening box.
As in all things we could do better, but worse, I think that we paid attention to the res publica is felt with good feedback, and praise from people with dedication and passion have grown and become reality this party, which for a common interest, and every day and listen to "work" for our fellow citizens. This is probably the key, despite a national level, the PDL is not doing a good impression prevail and where certain personalities, there are people who daily puts his face and the soul and certainly deserves more respect.
hope that in the near future, it can be ad un programma come ho detto
maggiormente condivisibile e concertato, proprio in virtù di quel senso di responsabilità che ci deve portare a vedere al di là dei confini del singolo partito, e non commettere l'errore di essere settoriali e autosufficienti, se vogliamo veramente crescere.
Io sono ottimista di natura, e nonostante le parti avverse, penso si possa creare veramente un progetto nuovo e positivo, che induca la gente a partecipare e condividere un attività politica concertata a trasparente, tornando ad essere protagonisti della nostra Terranuova.
