the room “No disputed seats”. Rochelio Pizzardi, the city coordinator of Italia Viva, is sure of this, reiterating that the division benefits his party and councilor Alberto Zappietro. “There is not, nor has there ever been, any disputed seats. The delirious and imprecise indications of web adventurers have generated enormous confusion and, in some ways, a vain expectation even among long-standing political figures with respect to a fact that, otherwise, has been established for several days”, he explains. Miguel Donegani’s “PeR” laboratory, which would find itself without representation at the civic assembly, has not ruled out legal appeal. “Since then it was completely clear that Italia Viva would have had the seat even if candidate Di Stefano won the run-off, as then happened, so talking about a contest, updating and adjusting from time to time, with about ten different versions, the seat assignments as if it were a car race, today I’m ahead, tomorrow you overtake me and, at the last bend, Tizio wins, is pure nonsense fed by adventurers who I hope will not be given credence in the near future. I don’t want to get into technical explanations – adds the Iv exponent – which would be indigestible to citizens but with that data and starting from that date it is perfectly possible to deduce the actual assignment of the seats and this through the simple application of the procedure, in some ways also of a mathematical nature, referring to the so-called d’Hondt method, desired and indicated by the regional and not national law since it is inapplicable in the territory of the Sicilian Region, in force in electoral matters”. According to Pizzardi, there are no other solutions.
