“I have received news of some statements made by the center-left candidate for the tricolor band of the capital, Antonio Gengaro, and addressed to me. I would not have replied in any way, because citizens know well how to distinguish the value of words in relation to the pulpit that pronounces, but unfortunately some pronounced inaccuracies force me to clarify: first of all, my convinced adhesion to Forza Italia dates back to two years ago, to the months before the last political elections”, states Angelo Antonio D’Agostino. “My candidacy for the European Parliament has nothing extemporaneous but is the culmination of a journey that comes from afar. Secondly, as all the people of Avellino know and remember, the project built around Gianluca Festa’s candidacy for the office of mayor five years ago had exclusively civic roots and perspectives. The undersigned, with the contribution of many citizens, convincedly embraced that path with maximum transparency and maximum linearity. No transformation operation then, no transformation operation when I decided to join Forza Italia, as mentioned, over two years ago. I want to hope, in the exclusive interest of the citizens of Avellino, in an electoral campaign that may be harsh but will be based on content, on the contrast between proposals and alternative solutions, in a climate of mutual respect. Because everything is needed in Avellino except a new season of resentment. Finally, I would simply like to remind the centre-left candidate that the undersigned has spent his entire existence creating jobs and wealth for the territories, and that everyone’s credibility is measured first and foremost with history, with what one has done in life . Very often it happens that precisely those who most easily indulge in moral judgments sin in morality”, he concludes.
