Controversy in Arzano: no women in the cemetery consortium

Arzano – appointments in the consortium cemetery: controversy erupts over the lack of gender quotas.

Despite the many publicized battles in favor of women, and denying what was signed in the notice of reopening of the terms for the presentation of applications to participate in the call for nominations as councilor of the cemetery consortium between the municipalities of arzano, Casoria and Casavatore and for "respect for gender equality"; the mayor Vincenza Aruta has instead chosen, in contrast to what is written in the official documents, three male councilors.

The "nominated" are: the former director of urban planning for the municipality of Arzano in 2006 (during the council period of the first dissolution for Camorra), the retired architect Luigi Pappadia (in the photo). It would be a knowledge of the old Arzanese politics at the time of the urban planning assessor Joseph Errichiello.

The other two members listed are the architect and former cemetery advisor Nicholas Pietrantonio, and the trainee lawyer Antonio Spiezia “close”, at least until some time ago, to the President of the municipal council Daniela D'Angelo.

Completely stripped of choices, the Democratic Party who comes out of it with broken bones, given that he will soon have to lose the seat currently held by the assessor Mary Theresa Abbot.

Now, after the controversial nomination, it will be up to the members of the new consortium body to vote for the president of the consortium, which is not at all a given, it will fall on Pappadia, originally from Sant'Antimo and who worked for many years at the municipality of Sant'Anastasia.

The councilor of Arzano Viva took to the field and criticized Aruta's decision Salvatore Borreal. “There is no end to the worst! The much vaunted defense of “gender equality” has been mortified by the decision of a woman. Yes, a woman, the mayor Cinzia Aruta of Arzano. Who evidently professes gender equality everywhere in an illusory way. Who was a member (and perhaps still is) of an all-female association in Arzano that carries out training activities in schools and runs an anti-violence center”.

“He reopened the terms of the public tender for the appointment of the three members of Arzano in the Cemetery Consortium with the motivation of respecting gender equality. Instead – Borreale complaint-, in reality she appointed all men by decree, she behaved by violating and not respecting her "creed", making it become only a hypocritical and propagandistic pretext, trampling on the elementary principles of gender equality, of "pink quotas" in collective bodies.

A real affront to all the women of Arzano, to all the professionals who have shown an interest, a collective mockery that offends not only women, but also, and allow me, men. Here, in Arzano we have a hypocritical mayor”.

Meanwhile, negotiations for the imminent reshuffle are in full swing and, except for the resigning Francesco Taglialatela, Giuseppe Vitagliano and Ernesto Pollice, Maria Teresa Abate has ended up on the grill, who is not particularly welcome to the mayor.

Safe and considered "untouchable", however, Fabiolone Gallo e Magdalene Tramontano the latter supported by two councilors of Nuove Generazioni. In the meantime, while everyone is busy on the political chessboard, the implementation of the Municipal Urban Plan and the management of the million-dollar PNRR tender for the construction of the town hall in via Napoli equal to approximately 10 billion of the old lire.
