“We found Giovanni Toti very toned as always, without surprise for those who know him, lucid and determined. This encourages us to continue our political action, respecting the programs with which we were elected. We trust, with full respect for the parties, that clarity will be clarified as soon as possible. President Toti is the first to want him, so that he can return to the government of the Liguria Region.” Words of Alessandro Pianapresident pro tempore of the Liguria Region, immediately after the conclusion of the meeting with the president Giovanni Toti currently under house arrest which took place in the latter’s home in Ameglia, in the province of La Spezia.
The meeting, which lasted about three hours, was authorized by investigating judge Paola Faggioni. Together with Piana, on the recommendation of Stefano Savi, Toti’s lawyer, the other personalities that the governor asked to meet are the councilors Giacomo Giampedrone And Marco Scajola. “The political line is based on reiterating the results obtained – adds Giampedrone -. Let us not retreat an inch on our administrative action, in the hope that the Supreme Court can restore the president to his natural role. Today there were three of us but we represented the entire council. We strongly claim the possibility and the right guaranteed by the Constitution that the president can return to his post. Our mandate expires in September 2025 and, let’s say clearly, there is no other prospect. We await the outcome of the review and the Court of Cassation. There is no question whatsoever of the president’s political viability. Regardless of what Toti chooses about his private life once he returns, the Toti List has its full viability and is entitled, with or without Toti as a candidate, to carry forward its political viability.”
“It was a pleasure to see Giovanni again after all this time – continues Scajola. He is saddened by the situation he is experiencing, but he remains combative and convinced of his excellent work in the interests of the Ligurians and Liguria. We did not talk about resignation, but about continuing the action according to the mandate given to us by the citizens in 2020. We hope the judiciary can carry out its task as soon as possible. John has the right to govern but also the duty to govern.”
