BOLZANO. The provincial assembly of the Verdi Green Squareentitled “Green makes the difference”. An opportunity to meet to discuss the fundamental role that is played at a political level in the municipalities. For the Greens it is necessary to address the issue of the high cost of living, the housing crisis, the constant pressure on the quality of life that comes from unbridled tourism development.

“Local decisions form the basis of trust in democracy,” he explains. Elide Mussnerco-spokesperson for the Greens Grüne Vërc. Mussner emphasizes that it is precisely at the municipal level that the foundations for the future are being laid. “People feel insecure, because they have the feeling that the answers to their questions are not coming, and yet that is precisely the job of politics: to decide. Not deciding means stagnation, and it is fuel on the fire of the right, which propagates simple solutions to complex problems, which do not hesitate to talk about climate hysteria while our neighbors are being flooded.”

The assembly offered a platform for Green councilors from all over South Tyrol. “Paul Rösch, former mayor of Merano, has shown what the Greens can do when they are in government: an inclusive policy, without ethnic barriers and oriented to the needs of the population,” it was said today. For Chiara Rabini, municipal councilor of Bolzano, “participatory processes are essential: people have the right to be heard and administrations have the duty to listen.” “Our goal at this time is clear: to support the municipalities in their function as catalysts of change, for a social and ecological transition that leaves no one behind,” added co-spokesperson Luca Bertolini.

“Small and large centers have a decisive role in building a more equitable future, where social and environmental justice go hand in hand, we can no longer postpone and this will be our goal in view of the next municipal elections,” concluded Bertolini.
