Federico Pizzarotti says goodbye and Parma loses its Five stars. Not more separated in the house, not in lite continues, but now on two different streets that are difficult to cross again. The time of the divorce between Pizzarotti and the 5-Star Movement has arrived. The farewell, after years of torment of fractures, and attempts of clarification, has just given the mayor of Parma in a conference convened on Monday, 3 October. "No Beppe Grillo I never lifted from the sofa and it would not be in front of you and my citizens – he began – but what happened after that is a change of the M5s. I am a free man, who has always taken their responsibility as a free man I can leave this 5-Star Movement as it has become today." A step is not simple, as he admitted the mayor, "but somebody has to do it, I have to do that step, that neither the guarantor, nor the directory, nor the leader in pectore they wanted to do. It is evident that it was desired to reconstruct a situation that could be sewn up. We have been banned to sit around a table, talk and find a solution." At his side are loyal to always, to begin from the parent company, Marco Bosi, the councillors and the other councillors of the majority in the new faces series, while Pizzarotti speaks like a river in full flood, even if for the moment the group will not come out formally by the Five-star hotel.
election 2012 – in front Of them, to listen to the epilogue of the story of one of the most well known faces among the auditors in italy and the Five stars, there is all the national press gathered. Is the same as four and a half years ago, in may, 2012, she had witnessed almost incredulous at the election of the first cricket, the guide of a capital city of the province, a computer become the mayor of a city exit disastrously to fifteen years of centre-right, with a hole of over 800 million euro. A triumph of the Movement even before the conquest of Rome and the Parliament, which had become a Parma in a matter of a few days the capital of the Five-star hotel. Since then, many things changed. He admits Pizzarotti, that effort, during his rein, not to speak of "we", referring to the Five-star hotel. But so it is.
The breaking and insulation – In the ducal city, that Beppe Grillo is not seen from the 2013, considered the first citizen of the year of the rupture, one in which l'incinerator a symbol of the fight grillina began to burn the waste Ugozzolo, the one in which the policies of Pizzarotti have begun to be considered by the top management of too autonomous compared to the dictates of the Movement and the same figure of the mayor, always in the spotlight, too critical of the choices of the vertices. From that moment it was a crescendo of clutches. Before the attacks via blogs, the excommunications on every initiative of the mayor of Parma as a "school for directors" pentastellati, and finally the darkening of everything that was happening in what Grillo called the "Stalingrad of the Movement". In other words, a forced isolation from which Pizzarotti and its no longer out. "While others, even the Pd in his amendment, continue to speak of "effect" Parma, the Movement continues, ” Pizzarotti – yet we administered a city with 870 million of debt. All of us recommended to declare the default and instead we have made choices to balance. We may use our experience, to speak, to deal with, but Parma, which might be taken, for instance, is not mentioned in any speech". Pizzarotti was asking for a meetup national, to create a network with the auditors to the members of the steering committee, and a Luigi Di Maio, on the other hand, there was always a wall.
From the suspension to the new regulation has been used two weights and two measures", has often reminded us, the mayor, comparing his situation to that of connects Filippo Nogarin or Virginia Ray. In Parma, for example, no measures have been taken regarding the formation of a group of Five stars of the minority, and directory, and vertices M5s have never taken the party of the mayor when it is involved in judicial inquiries. L'notice of warranty hidden by Pizzarotti on the survey to the appointments of the Theatre Royal and emerged by the press last may, it marked the point of no return with its suspension, become almost indefinitely. The verdict of the guarantor Beppe Grillo, who had the task of deciding about the fate of his former protégé, it never came, unlike the tribunal, has filed the case two weeks ago.
The mayor was expecting a step back, or at least an apology and a response to the conclusions who had been sent following the decision. And instead, once again, the silence from Rome, Milan and Genoa. With the last two actions unbearable for activists and counselors of Parma, who always support Pizzarotti: the lack of invitation to participate in Italy 5 star hotel and the new regulation on expulsion, that lengthening the time of the suspension, is perceived as a way to get rid of the mayor parmesan cheese from the top, blocking any attempt to run for a second term in the upcoming municipal. "A standard in personam – has attacked the mayor – because they are the only suspended in italy and it is needless to say to those who are thought to this new regulation." "We have been waiting for – he says – but Palermo and the cowardice of not answering and not making a phone call, even after the storage has made this decision a matter of urgency".
The decision to quit – the Attitudes that have led Pizzarotti to the comments more and more bitter towards the Movement. "The one is worth one, we arrived at the dynasty between the father and the son, ” he wrote on Facebook in announcing the conference – from the horizontal democracy, to the political chief; by rules which are shared by all, to a package of rules top-down, in personam against the non-aligned and without respect for any procedure of discussion and approval". Also on Monday morning the memory before communicating the decision went to seven years ago, the beginning of everything. "It’s been 7 years since of the ” Florence Charter, and from the exciting day at the Emerald theatre when the 5 Star Movement was born. I was there, I was there to take my responsibilities as a citizen. Since then many things have changed." And the biggest change for the mayor for years, a symbol of the Movement 5 stars, was the choice of exit, gained its after a lot of delay. "I thought it was easier to change things from the inside, like they asked me in many, instead of from the outside. But I understand that is not possible. I am not that concludes, referring to what that Movement has become – and I never got this, but I still believe in those values in which we believed at the beginning. I want to represent what we could be if we had the courage to do it."
The future – For now, the mayor has denied the hypothesis of a new beginning of the political at the national level and has not withdrawn its reservations over a possible re-candidancy in the next municipal 2017 to Parma, with a list. civic, that time, lost the symbol, Five-star hotel, it would be a forced choice. "We’re still thinking about it, but it’s a personal choice. I have always said that the mayor does not I have to do it for a living because I will return to my work, and then it is not a necessity is stringent, but if there are the conditions, we’ll talk with the group and we will decide". Denied also to the relations with the Pd or with other parties, even if Renzi had spent words of praise for the mayor’s cricket, "dissident", and often the dem, especially at the national level, have seen a good eye on the work of the administration of Parma. "There is no interest at the national level and I have never worked for any political party at the national level, ” he stated, however, the first citizen – now, I think, as always, to my city."
"What is certain – says Pizzarotti, to conclude – is that I will always have my autonomy on the outside as well as my autonomy. Deciding to go out, I take a pleasure to the guarantor, who will, once again, not decide. This is not a surrender, but rather to show that the responsibility we take and not we step back even a step."
