«I have just won the appeal at the Court of Cassation and I am also in central Italy». Thus the mayor of Terni and leader of Alternativa Popolare Stefano Bandecchi, on Instagram, announces the outcome of the appeal presented for the exclusion of all constituencies from his lists except the South. «And I have heard of imbeciles, like Ferranti: one who is a politician in the Terni council and who today acted like a teacher telling me that “I’m a crybaby because I want to go to the EU elections but it’s not up to me”. Today Bandecchi spoke at a press conference at the Unicusano headquarters in Rome: «In three and a half years (at the political level) Stefano Bandecchi will be there because Italy must be changed. We didn’t think we would get 90% in the European elections, but we wanted to pass through these elections to gain accreditation as a national party.” Speaking about the vote in the European elections and the AP list, he added: «Bandecchi could have 4.5 million votes from those who normally don’t go to vote and who are massacred every day by a State that is no longer a State».
«What is happening now in the other constituencies? We will understand it within 24 hours at most, but the highest Italian judging body has expressed itself definitively. So we will be there.” «What I explained this morning in the press conference happened – the mayor of Terni then told ANSA – and which everyone present understood. The Supreme Court said this at an administrative level, underlining more: that the 2014 ruling still remains valid. I’m sorry that many people celebrated what they thought was a disgrace. Once again Bandecchi wins and has obtained a popularity that has cost him zero, thanks to the inability of some and thanks to suburban politicians who have demonstrated once again how much they don’t understand politics. Subjects who enjoy too much the misfortunes of others and my suggestion, which I have never enjoyed the misfortunes of anyone, is that everyone learns in a religious way to respect the sufferings of others, which then sometimes become great victories. In this case it is intelligence that wins over peripheral politicians.”
