COUNCILLOR among pilgrims
G ianfranco Wurzburger went to Lourdes since 1987. A past and a present in politics, past and present with the Naples Opera pilgrimages. Its presence in Lourdes for the event starts, then "falling in love" and desire to always come back, even several times during the year, to renew the encounter with Mary, to "recharge" the Grotto of Massabielle. Neo-livability Councillor for the Municipality of Naples II, unable to reconcile the commitment policy with the presence in Lourdes. "From a boy," he says, "I was trained as a Catholic involved in politics. My political career is based on the teachings of Don Sturzo De Gasperi: always be in service to others and work hard to return, in my case, living on the streets, neighborhoods, families, to the city. It is not easy to leave their political activities and institutional disconnect with everyone who contacts you to seek help, support, intervention in their neighborhood. But it is important to create a moment his own, to regain contact with Madonna and Lourdes. "
"Keep your lamps burning" is the theme of the pilgrimage to Lourdes this year. An invitation to keep alive the light of hope even in Naples, complex city. Yet the Neapolitans are always full of hope. "We as politicians," says Gianfranco, "we must ensure that this hope is kept alive in making concrete what Neapolitans have the right to: a clean, safe, friendly. The people's demands are legitimate: the Neapolitans look normal. Of course you need the assistance of the citizens themselves and a more developed sense of civic duty. But as administrators we need to make the same municipality and has a strong role of government, with the support of the central administration to start up all the delegations. Only then can we work better and keep the lamps of hope in our neighborhoods. "
