LECCE – «The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sent a message of congratulations to Adriana Poli Bortone immediately after the electoral victory of the centre-right in the run-off in Lecce. ‘Great’, the message from Giorgia Meloni to Adriana Poli Bortone who thanks the president and the government for the support received in these months of the electoral campaign”. This was communicated by a note from the staff of the new mayor of Lecce, Adriana Poli Bortone.
Among the good wishes received “in these hours – continues the note – those from Antonio Tajani, Pierferdinando Casini, Gianni Letta, Giuseppe Valditara, Maurizio Gasparri and many other parliamentarians”.
THE WORDS OF ARCHBISHOP SECCIA
«The people of Lecce have democratically chosen the mayor for the next five years and now it is up to the new mayor Adriana Poli Bortone to welcome and transform the expectations of her fellow citizens into wise administrative choices». With these words the archbishop of Lecce, Michele Seccia, greets the new mayor of the city.
“I met Senator Poli Bortone several times during the years of my ministry in Lecce – continues the archbishop – I have always appreciated her love for this city but also her tenacity and courage as well as her skills”.
«I don’t allow myself to make recommendations to the new mayor: he doesn’t need them, his experience is a great guarantee – adds Monsignor Seccia – I only ask you to take care of the suburbs above all, to listen to the hardship and poverty that come from some neighborhoods of Lecce. Families and lonely people who often choose hiding and silence in order to preserve a residue of dignity.”
“I ask you – he concludes – to know how to invest your energies in young people who I see increasingly attracted to escape to other shores; not to neglect the disabled and to work to combat the various forms of dependence”.
