Gardone Riviera Politics: Clash Over Community, Riviera Ulivi, and 45 Bis

During the Gardone Riviera city council meeting, the split between Paolo Elena, mayor of Toscolano Maderno, and the Garda Community was also discussed. “I would like to understand what the real reasons for what happened are,” observed Guido Armellini of Forza Italia. “And I add another consideration: I hope that the establishment of the Riviera degli Ulivi consortium was not influenced by dissatisfaction with the limited activity of the Community. I would dislike for the two organizations to end up being redundant.”

Mayor Bazzani responded that he had spoken with the newly appointed Giuseppe Mongiello. “On March 10th, in Bardolino, a general assembly will be held to update the budget forecast. Mongiello will outline the guiding principles there. Let’s not forget that the Community carries out tourism promotion for all of Lake Garda,” Bazzani reminded, encouraging moderation and not to follow Elena’s mood swings.

Question Regarding the Management of the 45 Bis

The last issue: the 45 bis. The Gardone Riviera mayor reported dissatisfaction with Anas. “At the last meeting, held in Gargnano, no technician was sent, despite the invitation. Together with Bruno Faustini, president of the Montana-Parco Community, we requested that Anas be excluded from managing the 45 bis,” he said.

“We would prefer that the heavy responsibility be transferred to the provincial administration. It would certainly be capable of doing much better,” he added.
