NEW YORK (STATI UNITI) (ITALPRESS) - Nella notte della vittoria elettorale di Zohran Mamdani, abbiamo visitato i bar di Park Slope, a Brooklyn, trasformati in piccoli osservatori della storia. Abbiamo posto domande a giovani e meno giovani, newyorkesi di nascita o d’adozione, che hanno celebrato con entusiasmo l’elezione del primo sindaco musulmano e socialista di New York City, simbolo di una generazione che chiede giustizia sociale, case accessibili e una politica più vicina alla gente. Le voci raccolte raccontano un sentimento comune: “speranza”. Speranza in un cambiamento concreto dopo anni di disillusione e disuguaglianze crescenti.

00:00Nella notte della vittoria elettorale di Zoran Mamdani abbiamo visitato i bar di Park Slope

00:12a Brooklyn, trasformati in piccoli osservatori della storia.

00:20Abbiamo posto domande a giovani e meno giovani, new yorkesi di nascita o d'adozione, che hanno

00:26celebrato con entusiasmo l'elezione del primo sindaco musulmano e socialista di New York City,

00:33simbolo di una generazione che chiede giustizia sociale, case accessibili e una politica più

00:38vicina alla gente. Le voci raccolte raccontano un sentimento comune, speranza, speranza in

00:45un cambiamento concreto dopo anni di disillusione e disuguaglianze crescenti.

00:50Why did you vote for him?

00:53I voted for him because he represents the kind of leadership that the city needs at this

00:59moment of time that we've been missing for so long with the previous mayor and it's just

01:06I feel hopeful for the first time in what feels like forever.

01:10What of the program for you is the most important thing?

01:15Affordability is number one, the most important as a native New Yorker and I really think

01:20that's going to be achievable with the fiscal plans that he put forward, the universal

01:26childcare, I think is going to be a game changer for New Yorkers.

01:29Mom Donnie also has a policy platform that I really agree with and I think it's based

01:34on sort of compassion and care for the city of New York, so that's why I voted for him.

01:40I actually changed my restrictions for the first time to New York City just to vote for

01:45him, I really just like his policies. I think he's like bringing something new to the

01:48table. We already had Andrew Cuomo in office and he clearly did do a good job.

01:53I think that he's going to be really good for the city. None of the other candidates are

01:56really strong for the city and he brings a new energy and like a younger energy that we're

02:01severely missing in politics right now, so a new face will be good for New York.

02:07I'm a teacher and affordability.

02:10Affordability, we love New York. We want to make New York the best place it can be and

02:14he can do that. Somebody that didn't vote for him feel like he's scared because they call

02:21him a communist or they say that he's anti-Semite. What do you respond?

02:30In terms of communism, you're coming from Italy, you have social services there, you have health

02:35care, you have an investment in the people. We want that here too in the States.

02:40Yes, we want that here. And Mamdani has done such an amazing job meeting with the Jewish

02:45community in New York and as a Jewish person who grew up in New York, I don't feel like

02:50he's a threat to us. I think he's only working to build bridges with us. We love him.

02:55I agree with most of his policies. He's inspiring and idealistic. I'm a democratic socialist.

03:00What do you want now to do first thing?

03:05I think the rent freeze would be nice. It doesn't affect me, but it should affect the

03:09people who actually need it. I think he should do his best to make good on his promises.

03:15I think he should hire an excellent security detail.

03:18What would you like that Zora Mandani do first thing when he's mayor of New York City?

03:27Freeze the rent.

03:28Is this a vote against President Trump too?

03:33No, this is a New York mayor race, right? So Zoran is the best person for New York City,

03:42to run New York City. He has New York City's best interests at heart. So this is why we support him.

03:49I already appreciate how he treats people like human beings and sees the humanity in all of us.

03:54So he's already got my vote. He's already got everything good to walk into the office.

03:59and I would like for him to, as much as he can, not get corrupted by the interests that are going to

04:06come at him. So that's all I want.

04:08It's tremendously exciting to have someone who has fresh ideas, who wants to really listen to the

04:15majority of New Yorkers and make it an affordable place to live, which is not a city for the

04:21billionaires, but it's a city for the people.

04:24The New York mayorship for a long time, it's been associated with corruption. You know, a lot of negative

04:28things that we're seeing all around our country in terms of graft, in terms of, in terms of perverse

04:34interests. I think, I think when he, at the very first he's been doing this throughout his campaign,

04:39he's embodying a better vision for New York. I want to see him protect the citizens of New York City

04:45from ICE, for instance. I think we've seen some outrageous infractions on that front. So if he can

04:50protect the residents of New York City from ICE, that would be a great first step.

04:55Did he vote, sir?

04:56Yes, I voted, yeah.

04:58Are you happy tonight?

04:59No, not at all.

05:01For whom did you vote?

05:04Cuomo.

05:05So why do you think Bandani is not going to be a good mayor for New York?

05:09Because he is a child who espouses socialism. And maybe when he grows up, he'll know better. But for

05:18the moment, we will have to survive this.

05:21I voted for Bandani because he's young. He has new, brand new ideas. And he's most importantly

05:29talking about making the city more affordable, right? And what I think that he should do first

05:34when he's in office, besides sell a rate, right? I really think he should tackle the affordable

05:40housing. And then free buses, yeah.

05:44I hope he comes through with his promises about free buses and increasing the rent and affordability.

05:50But it honestly has just been so nice to see a politician have a backbone and like a moral grounding.

05:56I'm very happy and proud that this happened tonight.

05:58What do you want Bandani to do first thing when he will be the mayor of New York City?

06:05The first thing? I mean, what he said he's going to do. Freeze the rent, fast and free buses,

06:12hopefully child care, affordability. I hope he delivers. It'll be hard, but I think he can do it.

06:19Do you think this is also vote against President Trump?

06:23Oh, definitely. Yeah, for sure.

06:26The middle class people that are striving off the streets and working a lot to pay high rent,

06:34food has gone up in the last couple of years. And there's so much homelessness in New York City

06:40more than ever before. And they're sleeping on their trains, you know, it's a lot of cops.

06:46They're not really doing their job, honestly, down here, as they should be.

06:49I believe and hope that he just makes New York affordable. That's it.

06:56I really appreciate he believes in something. I think it's going to be a challenge for him to

07:01follow through on his promises, but I really believe in his values and what he stands for.

07:10I've not been this happy since Obama won his second chair. Anything he can do to make this city more

07:17affordable for regular people will be a win. And do you think this is a vote also against

07:22President Trump? Absolutely.
