«The Bari community of universities and research, training, professional work and cultural production cannot fail to welcome with satisfaction the public commitment undertaken by Vito Leccese and from Michele Laforgia after the first electoral round, to share the political and civic responsibility of uniting and leading to victory in the second round all the forces of the progressive camp that have supported them so far”. This was declared by 14 professors from the University of Bari who signed the appeal to vote in view of the run-off for the choice of the mayor of Bari between Vito Leccese, centre-left, and Fabio Romito, centre-right.
The letter
«It is a commitment – they say – to valorise, with equal dignity and in proportion to the consensus obtained, and to translate into the practice of the future city government all the ideas and programmatic richness that, beyond the different points of view of the two candidates , expressed itself in the electoral debate, and built a barrier of broad citizen will against the claims of a local right fully co-responsible for the program of anti-democratic and anti-Southern division of the country implemented by the parties that support the Meloni government. The project of differentiated autonomy, as well as in the economic, social and health fields, has heavy, unacceptable negative repercussions also in the university, scholastic and cultural fields. This desire – they conclude – cannot fail to correspond to an equally broad and responsible participation in the second round of voting in support of Vito Leccese”.
