Frost. He is among the inspirers of the coalition outside the official center-right bloc. “Alliance for Gela”, in fact, also bears the signature of the former Ars parliamentarian Pino Federico. He is working together with other allies on the final aspects of the lists that are about to be filed. The collection of signatures has recently ended. “I only hope that it can be a non-doped electoral campaign – he underlines – people must be left free to express their preferences. First of all, I hope for this.” Controversies, rumors and more than a few “poisons” have not been lacking and everyone is secretly looking at everyone else. “We are convinced that our four lists are strong, rooted in the territory – he adds – the centre-right? We are in the centre-right and we will demonstrate it at the European elections by voting for candidates from this political area. However, the parties have decided not to open a democratic debate and for this reason we have focused on a candidate for mayor like Scerra who knows and loves the city. Others, however, had already made the decision seven or eight months ago. Their candidate was wanted by Mancuso and Cuffaro. I am amazed that Fratelli d’Italia only suffered passively. Evidently, there is no political class capable of supporting its own decisions. Fratelli d’Italia has suffered the choices of others, of exponents who are not even of the centre-right. These are decisions taken in other contexts, outside the city. If one of the proposed potential candidates wasn’t a good fit, they at least had to have a middle name. Instead, all this didn’t happen.” The official parties, in the broad pact with the moderates (Italia Viva and DC), are with the former municipal manager Grazia Cosentino. A path that “Alleanza per Gela” does not share and in which it does not recognize itself. “I, like everyone else, will give my contribution – Federico continues – I’m deciding together with the list. At the moment, I am running for city council.” The option of running for mayor had opened up for the former president of the Province. Mpa leader Raffaele Lombardo, with whom Federico has a long-standing political relationship, confirmed that he had asked him.
