Since the fall, the Bastia business leader has been taking the pulse of the population. Via a questionnaire, Sylvain Fanti chose to consult residents about their expectations and needs. With the promise of coming back to them to deliver his summary of the situation. It was therefore in an establishment in the city center of Bastia that he returned his first copy. Friday December 20. A study with “Bastia Capitale” in mind, entitled The feeling of the Bastiais.
In front of around forty people, the future liberal candidate presented a restitution, a sort of compilation of the 400 responses according to the entrepreneur, which is structured around five themes: mobility and accessibility, economic dynamism, urban planning sustainable and ecological transition, quality of life and security and culture and youth.
A new penetrant to relieve congestion at the entrance to the city
“There are above all three priority subjects recognizes the entrepreneur firstly in terms of mobility since there is a double expectation. The residents who responded wish to improve accessibility and circulation in the city while reducing nuisances in terms of pollution.” 77.6% of respondents are in favor of the creation of a new penetrating road to relieve congestion at the entrance to Bastia. On an economic level, their wish is simple: “They want to live better, which means creating jobs.“79.7% of them want tax incentives to attract businesses and businesses. Sylvain Fanti then takes up the last subject that was debated, the pre-emption of commercial premises, and opposes it.
The last point that seems to be unanimous is the insecurity expressed particularly in the north and south of the city. And yet with a rate of 40 incidents of delinquency per 1,000 inhabitants recorded in 2023 in the department, delinquency remains low. Questioned in our columns, Anne Valla, the director of the national police of Haute-Corse, explained: “We cannot speak of insecurity but of a feeling of insecurity.” The figures are therefore opposed to a feeling.
Next with who?
A document which also compiles wishes in the fight against incivility, or ecological transition tools. What’s next? Thematic meetings in the presence of experts. For the future candidate it will then be a question of building a program in line with expectations. There remains a big question: with whom?
If among the audience, the municipal councilor Livia Graziani-Sanciu was seen, that the deputy Jean-Louis Milani was excused for his absence and assured to position himself from February, who will be the campaign companions of Sylvain Fanti ? Will he be able to count on support for Stéphanie Grimaldi who gave up running for the Bastia municipal elections in 2020? Sylvain Fanti could also count on the allies of Jean-Martin Mondoloni provided that the 2020 agreements with the left become obsolete. “I am in a united approach in order to bring together as many people as possible on the right”, assures the future liberal candidate. To be continued.
