The climate in the city is increasingly hotter. Carlo Salvemini and Adriana Poli Bortone launch mutual accusations when there are only a few days left until the decisive challenge of the runoff. Tempers are also overheated in the groups that support the two candidates for the highest seat in Palazzo Carafa. At the center of the conflict is the moral question.
The senator’s lunge
Adriana Poli Bortone speaks of the “chain of immorality” and of a dossier full of decisions with which, according to her, direct assignments and assignments have been given from 2018 to today. The senator points the finger at a 110 thousand euro job given to a technician to check the trees in the city and refers to another candidate consultant with a civic list. She then underlines that she was acquitted because the fact does not exist in the investigations concerning Via Brenta and the BOC. The lawyer Francesca Conte also spoke on the ruling regarding the trial for the rental of the premises in via Brenta. “Questioning this sentence by continuing, in an instrumental way, to mislead public opinion by making it clear that that acquittal is not, after all, a true acquittal, means incurring, according to our penal code, the crimes of slander.”
The mayor’s counterattack
And on the topic of honesty, Carlo Salvemini says: «I’ve been hearing about a dossier on alleged misdeeds that I committed for a long time, but I’ve never seen anything. I am ready to accompany Adriana Poli Bortone to the prosecutor’s office to deliver this dossier. If we talk about honesty, I am ready to face any political DNA test. If you want to challenge me on this ground, challenge me. Politics is an extraordinary thing when it is tasked with changing people’s lives and not the personal destinies of a candidate. Let’s tell our idea of a united, free and honest city to as many people as possible.”
Siculella and Ciucci
This morning, Alberto Siculella will reveal his intentions in view of the runoff. Which Agostino Ciucci has already done by expressing his personal support for the senator. No official affiliation, but only a personal indication of the doctor, they are keen to underline from the “Rights and Civilizations for Lecce” list, which instead leave freedom of choice despite being against supporting Salvemini «who has not been able to be the representative of all citizens and did not guarantee constitutional rights.”
