Abstract:
In the 2013 elections, the Sicilian city of Messina voted-in a mayor from the Cambiamo Messina dal Basso (CMDB) movement. Perceived as a Messiah sent to save the city from years of political and economic mismanagement, it soon became clear that it would not be easy for him to negotiate the bureaucracy of the traditional clientelist political establishment. This paper explores how the CMDB movement has come to terms with negotiating bureaucratic and structural time while attempting to maintain their Messianic ideals.
