«We have separated the theme of election day, we have decided to keep the European and municipal elections on the same date , Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June (ballot on Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th) and we have addressed the appointment of the general secretary Saverio Lo Russo, councilor of Palazzo Long-standing Chigi. He was director of the State Regions conference for a long time and knows the tools we have available as a Region to work with the Government and with Europe."
Thus the President of the Region Alessandra Todde at the end of the first meeting of the Council.
Again on Lo Russo ( WHO IS HE ), Todde adds: «His experience can help us change pace and standing». And, responding to those who speak of the second "foreign Pope" after the Health Councilor: «If things had gone well and if we were reaching perfectly functioning balances I would understand these criticisms, but we are facing rubble and a disastrous situation, so I would concentrate on experiences and skills" . Furthermore, he explained, «Lo Russo is the person who has challenged the regional laws in recent years and knows very well what our weak points are and will be able to advise me very well on the things I shouldn't do».
Finally, on the merger of the airports, Todde states: «Now we need to deal with the dossiers and therefore take into consideration all the withdrawing revenue documents in our possession : it is important to deal with the main players, the Chamber of Commerce, F2i, and make sure that there could be a strategic position for the Region. They are the entry and exit doors of our Island, which allows us to be competitive with the outside world and the Region will have to adequately exercise its prerogatives."
