Antonio Mazzeo (Pd) is not going to Europe
The president of the regional council Antonio Mazzeo was unable to win a place in the European Parliament for the Democratic Party. “I am not among those elected to
European Parliament, but today I see it as a new starting point. Because there is a heritage of relations and human relationships, built in recent weeks with all the territories of our region, which we must cultivate and grow day after day.” “When the democratic community – he then explains – asked me to give a hand (and I once again thank the national secretary Elly Schlein and the regional secretary Emiliano Fossi for doing so) I didn’t hold back, even though I was aware that I wouldn’t have had the knowability and media visibility of others. In recent weeks there have been a number of personal attacks which have hurt me and certainly not helped me, but in the face of which the affection and closeness I have received from you have been touching.” Then best wishes to my party comrade Dario Nardella.
