BARI – «We are part of the same family of the large centre-left coalition which split only to make the primaries coincide with the first round, but a large part of the program is a common programme»: this was said by the centre-left candidate for the municipal elections of Bari, Vito Lecceseon the sidelines of a public meeting together with the other centre-left candidate, Michele Laforgiawho was defeated in the first round.
Leccese and Laforgia have signed a political pact even if there was no official agreement.
«Michele and I – said Leccese – want a fairer, more inclusive, greener and more sustainable city. Legality is a prerequisite, today we signed an act of commitment to strengthen the control systems in the municipal administration, but there was already a strong understanding between Michele and me regarding the need to find ourselves united after the first electoral round”. “A political agreement – she concluded – which is a prelude to a city government agreement.”
BELLOMO’S LUNGE (LEGA): THE LEFT STEALS SEATS FROM THE OPPOSITION
«If good morning starts in the morning, any new left-wing administration would start off on the wrong foot. I think the danger that, in the event of an unfortunate victory for Leccese, materializes in terms of the minorities’ tribune is truly disconcerting. Not giving the Leccese-Laforgia relationship formal prominence, with the evident and deceptive aim of stealing seats from the real opposition to favor the false one, is an original sin that is difficult to accept, with consequences also on parliamentary relations”. This was declared by the deputy of the Lega, Davide Bellomo, member of the House Judiciary Committee.
«I wonder, in fact, how the left could talk at Montecitorio or at Palazzo Madama about legality, transparency and institutional correctness after behavior that has nothing to envy of that of the old communist regimes. Naturally – he adds – this is one more reason not to vote for Leccese, preferring Romito. In the name of truth and respect towards political opponents, with a council dialectic based on seriousness and honesty. By nipping power games in the bud that have nothing to do with good administration.”
