This blog had rooted for as a new mayor Gianni Alemanno of Rome. Maybe because I was 5 years old when the Cold War is over, maybe because I feel hateful ideologies of the anchor past (clericalism, communism, fascism) Fascist Youth Alemanno I was scared. In fact, I found it less dangerous alignment clerical Rutelli, the candidate of the center (left).
There have been times when the conservative instincts of Alemanno turned out to be regrettable (camps, gay pride, gay village, these prostitutes), but I expected. Instead, what catches the eye is the complete innocence of the administrator Alemanno. I thought, you fascist, but maybe it's a capable mayor. The first 30 days of government suggest otherwise, show a person unable to put forward new proposals, but all intent on demolishing the projects (or works) of the junta last year.
To begin with, in a modern and intelligent city, as in Europe, the decisions taken by the outgoing government are respected. Not because the Europeans are more good or more balls, but because it did not destroy the economic sense. Every work requires time and public money. Design, construction, costs are not lost if the investment is expected to give its revenues. But above all, a capital city like Rome, that sucks (go) to be a global city can not afford to dwell in the past but must continually build its own future. As a bike ride, if not falling.
Alemanno does not think so. The Ara Pacis Museum by Richard Meier may not like the project and was awarded a dubious, but it's there, and is the third most visited monument Roma. Alemanno lo vorrebbe demolire. La Festa del Cinema voluta da Veltroni può rappresentare un investimento intellettualistico ed elitista, ma è ormai un fatto che genera introiti, posti di lavoro e reputazione globale. Perchè rimetterla in dubbio?
Alemanno, infatti, si è rimangiato questi propositi distruttivi (forse ha qualche consigliere leggermente avveduto o si è fatto due conti in tasca), ma ha svelato un'inquietante miopia di fondo.
Sulla politica del traffico, le idee di Alemanno risultano velleitarie ma devastanti. Roma è una città assediata dalle macchine. Circa 800 per 1000 abitanti, il più alto tasso d'Europa in una capitale con un enorme Old Town and a few large arteries.
But Alemanno is the embodiment of Roman Italy when it comes out, go to another town, sees things but does not understand how foreigners live, in fact, void, and repeats them as Pangloss of Voltaire's Candide, that "Rome is the best possible cities."
The curbs of the bus lanes? Abroghiamoli, because the motors that make zigzag between cars (illegal per se) could be hurt. A 700-space underground parking that would allow the pedestrian to the Pincio the Trident? We do not control the quality of the project, Let's stop it altogether. The minicar (microA of the children of Rome good of Parioli and Vigna Clara - the feuds of the right) driven by the Limited Traffic Zone? But no, they return in the old town, are the solution to the traffic! and who cares if their safety standards are worse than a false fiat made in China.
But the most preposterous decision has serious economic repercussions and harmful. The classic small right-wing Roman is convinced of two things: A) that the parking fee (blue lines) need to be done only when public transport is effective. He does not understand at all that the effectiveness of the TPL is directly proportional to how many fewer cars circulating. In all cities of the developed world, mayors govern not only the hard stop, but also possession of the car, to make the TPL profitable, efficient in the frequency and time. B) the company that runs the blue lines, the STA is chaired by the wife of Rutelli (horrible choice, I agree) .. but then, all fines if the pockets Mrs Palombelli Rutelli! The syllogism of Romano Noantri shows clear signs of weakness in distinguishing concepts like "management" and "misappropriation of public funds."
the background, the new Berlusconi government repeals the ICI on first homes. We earn the citizens, but we lose the municipalities. And what of Rome is the most affected: -300 million euro per year. But Alemanno does not think the Naif. Appealing a una discutibile sentenza del TAR (tribunale amministrativo regionale), il sindaco SOSPENDE indefinitamente il pagamento della sosta sulle strisce blu! Ossia, -47 milioni di euro all'anno per il Comune (pardon, la moglie di Rutelli), oltre al taglio dell'ICI. Ma soprattutto, qual è il messaggio per la cittadinanza? Che in una città già assediata dal traffico, dai cantieri di due linee metropolitane, di una nuova stazione ferroviaria e una nuova tangenziale, si potrà continuare a usare impunemente l'automobile come prolungamento del proprio culo.. Evviva le esternalità negative!
In conclusione, può essere che Alemanno col tempo acquisti confidenza con il suo nuovo ruolo di amministratore, dove non c'è posto per le ripicche ideologiche né tempo per rivedere decisioni già avviate. Dopotutto, AN è un partito che a Roma non ha mai avuto esperienza di governo e deve imparare. Ma se i segnali sono questi, resta un forte scetticismo che i prossimi 5 anni per Roma non saranno un periodo di sviluppo.
