Breaking News: Aversa Mayor Franco Matacena Faces Political Crisis
Aversa, Italy — The political landscape of Aversa is in turmoil as Mayor Franco Matacena finds himself in a precarious position. The opposition councilors have seized the moment and are pushing for an emergency city council meeting to discuss the 2024 management report.
Opposition Councillors Demand Immediate Action
In a move that could potentially shake the foundations of Mayor Matacena’s administration, opposition councilors Mario De Michele, Marco Girone, Mauro Baldascino, Dino Carratù, and Imma Lama have called for an urgent city council meeting. The councilors argue that the financial document has been available to directors for nearly a month, with all necessary preparatory steps completed.
“It is unacceptable that the council is not convened. This behavior offends the role of the institutions and undermines the credibility of the entire Council,” reads a statement from the signatories.
Majority Struggles with Internal Divisions
The majority, grappling with internal power struggles and the withdrawal of proxies, appears to be caught off guard. The minority councilors have accused the majority of being “paralyzed by internal feuds” and “hostage to logic of power and current wars,” rendering them unable to fulfill their duties to the community.
Criticism Mounts Against Mayor Matacena
The minority councilors have not held back their criticism of Mayor Matacena, stating that his “accomplice silence” is a sign of political weakness. They argue that Matacena lacks the authority and will to govern Aversa effectively.
“He has the duty to guarantee respect for the democratic rules, and it is he who should recall his majority and convene the Council,” the minority councilors insist.
Urgent Call for Transparency and Action
The opposition has called for the convocation of the Council, demanding that the majority explain why they continue to delay. “The city has the right to know why it continues to waste time, because the institutional bodies are held hostage by logic of political survival,” they say.
“The Prime Minister can no longer remain silent: explain to the citizens why he keeps in the drawer a proposal ready for weeks. And to the mayor Matacena we say clearly: either he assumes the responsibility to govern, or leave room for those who really have the future of Aversa,” the councilors conclude.
Aversa, a city rich in history and culture, deserves effective leadership. The ongoing political crisis underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in local governance. As the city looks to the future, all eyes are on Mayor Matacena and the opposition to see how this crisis will unfold.
