few days ago I read an article in a national newspaper, explaining that for one euro invested by the State in its territory, south of us must pay to the Treasury 30 cents, while a national north of it has to pay 2.50 even among the various taxes and levies. Quite a difference. The strange thing is, though, that in the south do not have better services! Or major infrastructure, welfare or development. And even the impression that we are catching up.
Then there is a problem. Upstream: our inability to realize, through the ballot box (where the electoral system still permits), a real selection of the political class. We are often too knowledgeable and committed and we choose badly our politicians, we do often, badly, on the basis of personal friendships, promises, oratory skills of the candidate rather than for its actual or alleged political and administrative capacity. But, in my opinion, there is also another problem: addiction. We are so much accustomed to see government budget in the red and inconclusive, the unemployed, poor, marginalized, inefficient hospitals, government offices distracted, now consider it normal, physiological, and we care not hardly. We miss the little that we are also satisfied. Certainly the Internet, creating circuits for comparison between people, this awareness is maturing, but for the majority of people continue to be normal.
But it is not normal at all! We must break this spiral of complacency and resignation; confront other realities, and how to know what others are doing better than us. And then we open our city to new people, cultures and experiences, and Chieti, Abruzzo city of culture, it must do so first. Why, for example, do not get to Chieti a higher number of university students in Europe? Let them come and live in the old city and tell us how to live in their own, as services work, what's that we do not have, and how there can be development, prosperity and a better society absolutely. How? I am not a technician but I think for a competition, sponsored by the municipality, which takes responsibility for payment of tuition and provide housing at low prices (strictly in the center of Chieti) nor even with local families, in two hundred university students from all major European capitals. Clearly, then, should create opportunities to meet, otherwise there is no debate and discussion with the city.
What do you think? And do not forget the return in terms of trade for the shops and activities center (another long-standing problem). Boys mica are not limited only to sleep and study .. or not?
