”I underline 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. An absolutely necessary check, which in any case we didn’t ask for.” This was stated this evening at the headquarters of the electoral committee in via Braccio Martello by Adriana Poli Bortone, candidate for mayor of the centre-right in Lecce, who, awaiting the decisions of the Central Electoral Commission, held a press conference to provide further clarity on what happened in these agitated and chaotic days in the city.
The senator then wanted to thank all the presidents, secretaries and scrutineers who worked amid many difficulties. But she also stigmatized Carlo Salvemini and her entourage for not having removed the insults aimed at her and her political side from the official pages of her political opponent. A heartfelt intervention in which Adriana Poli Bortone called together her electorate to avoid the risk of a reconfirmation of the outgoing mayor, who had already failed at the polls with a clear loss of votes and consensus.
