Desenzano Ex-Associate Places Posters Criticizing Mayor and Party Feud
After the New Year’s firing, former assessor and deputy mayor Enrico Frosi had posters put up on the walls of Desenzano. To thank his collaborators and claim credit, but also to send a pointed message to Mayor Cino Anelli and more subtly to the ex-Christian Democrats who requested and obtained his removal.
“The role of assessor and deputy mayor,” reads large print on Frosi’s posters, “gave me the opportunity to live an experience of great satisfaction. I worked with passion, driven by the desire to give the city a better future. Thanks to the valuable collaboration of volunteer and folklore groups, municipal employees, and merchants, Desenzano has been able to showcase a splendid season of events, worthy of being called the capital of Garda. And through television, we positioned ourselves as a tourist destination in the spotlight of the general public.”
Public accusations and claims of achievement
Many thanks to everyone, a claim of his merits as Tourism assessor, and above all, a sharp critique of Mayor Cino Anelli who, according to Frosi on the posters, “without giving explanations, removed my role and the chance to continue my program.”
A poisonous closing, which Frosi also reiterates verbally, explaining in a phone interview his unexpected message on the city walls. “What they did to me is unfair,” laments the former vice mayor.
When it is decided to dismiss an assessor who received more than 300 votes in the election, it is at least necessary to explain the reasons to the citizens. All that has been said and written is only that my own party, Forza Italia, repudiated me. But why? I believe I was inconvenient for someone because I aimed for a new way of doing politics. Instead,” Frosi attacks,
in Desenzano, Forza Italia is now dominated by former right-wing Christian Democrats, old-guard politicians, with whom I had nothing to share. That is why I was ousted. But the mayor should have publicly explained what was really going on.”
Ongoing party infighting
A subtle message understood only by insiders. Everyone else, however, can read the posters hung up in recent days— a sign of unresolved disputes and fierce conflicts still igniting within the blue party from the inside.
