Poli Bortone: “Ready for the ballot, Salvemini rejected”
Adriana Poli Bortone spoke this evening at the headquarters of the electoral committee in via Braccio Martello. Her statements were collected by Leccesette:
I highlight the oddities recorded in these elections. In some sections, such as 54, they are close to 10%. The control of the ballots served to close several sections left open, without minutes, in which anomalies were recorded, such as the number of voters different from the number of ballots. A check, absolutely necessary, which in any case we did not ask for.
Salvemini: “0-0, ball in the centre”
Carlo Salvemini has released some statements which can be found on his page Facebook:
0-0, ball in the centre. A new electoral campaign begins. We are ready to experience this transition with passion, enthusiasm, trust, serenity and determination. Congratulations to my opponent for the result obtained. I don’t experience the result as a de profundis.
