Genoa. Regret having gone on Spinelli’s yacht? “I don’t regret anything. Maybe about something yes but… I don’t know, maybe I’ll keep it to myself, I’ll say it when I talk to the magistrates”. So does the mayor Marco Buccipressed by journalists on the sidelines of a conference organized by The newspaper at the Doge’s Palace.
Bucci, who at the moment he is not under investigation even if he is intercepted in various passages of the investigations opened by the Prosecutor’s Office (such as the one in which he compares the entrepreneurs of the port to pigs), he is expected in the next few days at the palace of justice to be heard by the prosecutors as a person informed of the facts.
The mayor then denied the rumors that he would be a possible centre-right candidate in the Region in case of early elections: “Let me know these rumors. I have a contract with the Genoese to stay here until June 2027 and I want to keep this promise, this debt to the Genoese until June 2027.”
On the hypothesis of resignation of Giovanni Totistill under house arrest, Bucci commented on Minister Crosetto’s words according to which he will ultimately be forced by psychological pressure: “I don’t know, it’s not about me, you have to ask him. There is pressure, I feel the pressure… I don’t make any suggestionsI don’t talk about the work of the judiciary because I respect the work of the judiciary and I have 100% faith in the judiciary.”
To ask them Bucci’s resignation from the role of commissionerHowever, yesterday the Democratic Party was in the city council. “They have the freedom to ask for it, the government will decide – he replies -. Among other things, the government has the possibility to decide every year. The positions are annual, they are renewed every year. It may well be that next time they won’t renew me, but it’s still the government that has to decide. And every citizen has the opportunity to write what he wants to anyone.”
He certainly has no intention of resigning: “I’ve always proved it, haven’t I? So I move forward with even greater energy. It is obvious that the situation is more difficult now, but it is a duty that I have undertaken towards the citizens and therefore we must move forward. Genoa cannot miss the opportunity to have 7 billion to invest, it will be difficult for that to happen in the future”.
