If the consensus on the capital municipality was difficult to find, for the mayoral candidate of Termoli Nico Balice it was only a matter of time and last night, under agreements reached, the centre-right officially invested him with the burden-honour of being the one to try to collect the dual legacy of Francesco Roberti first and then Vincenzo Ferrazzano. Having joined Forza Italia in the autumn, a strategic entry because the Azzurri hold the upper hand in the Adriatic city, he had long been referred to as the Governor’s “dolphin”, with the path paved by the renunciation of the possibility of re-nomination by the current mayor.” in second.” Thus, the councilor for urban planning elected 5 years ago with a Robertinian civic list, a long-time lawyer and president of the rowing club, finds himself having the most important chance of his life in his hands, he who has always had bread and butter at home administration, given the father’s profession, municipal secretary. He will turn 55 in December and the Brothers of Italy, Forza Italia, Lega, Noi Moderati, Popolari per l’Italia and UDC have unanimously expressed their support for him. As for the other candidate Aldo De Benedittis, the official presentation takes place this afternoon at 3.30pm. Meanwhile, here are his first words as mayoral candidate: «I am honored to be able to represent the centre-right coalition in the next local elections in Termoli. I thank President Roberti and all the parties of the coalition who, following a calm discussion, converged on my name. We will start our electoral campaign shortly, although to be honest we have been at work for some time. Furthermore, I take this opportunity to thank the deputy mayor Vincenzo Ferrazzano for the precious task carried out in this phase together with the council and the entire majority”. However, precisely in the centre-right, a noisy divorce also took place yesterday, which we certainly cannot call a bolt from the blue, but the farewell of Annibale Ciarniello to the League, albeit “telephoned” given the relationships that had been created in the last months, it is a serious loss for the Salvinian team. Probably, he believed that his moment of legitimate ambition had also arrived, but the rule of boxes prevails and so, the president of the municipal council, Annibale Ciarniello, yesterday made his transition from the League to the Brothers of Italy official. A return, we can say, since there had already been membership in the Melonian formation in the last phase of the Di Brino administration. «After about 6 years, I am leaving the Molise League because, despite myself, the conditions have ceased and I have decided to join the Fratelli d’Italia party. I am grateful to the regional coordinator Di Sandro and the provincial coordinator Sen. Della Porta for the welcome they gave me. I will commit myself to the next administrative elections with seriousness and loyalty to contribute to the success of the Brothers of Italy and the center-right coalition. I am convinced as never before that in this crucial moment the city of Termoli needs to be governed by a strong and cohesive centre-right supported by the Brothers of Italy. Thanks cannot be missed to the Lega Salvini Premier party.” Meanwhile, on the opposite side, gray smoke in the dem mission that the triumvirate composed of the regional secretary Ovidio Bontempo, the club commissioner Antonio Giuditta and the federation secretary Oscar Scurti, who had already been received last Wednesday by the national head of local authorities of the Democratic Party Davide Baruffi. A second meeting aimed at concluding the reasoning in an attempt to convince the Dem leaders to give the green light to mayoral candidate Joe Mileti.
