Rome, 24 May. “I am a guarantor and I believe that the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, has the sacrosanct right to defend himself, as he is doing. Whether he is guilty or not will be decided by the judges in the unfortunately not short time required by Italian justice. However, there is a political theme. The Liguria Region is not manageable at the moment, because the ongoing investigation is so deep that it is unlikely to be closed in the space of a few weeks. At this moment, President Toti and his council are not able to govern Liguria.” Thus Matteo Ricci, mayor of Pesaro, coordinator of the Dem mayors, PD candidate in the Center constituency in the next European elections, during the program L’Aria che tira, broadcast on la7.
“The reasons of the community come before personal issues. In the interests of Liguria, it would be useful for Toti to take a step back and open a new political page. Furthermore, this would allow the Governor the possibility of defending himself as best as possible, within the timeframes and methods of Italian justice”, added Ricci. “In the end, it will be Toti’s decision, however the embarrassment in the majority that supports him is evident. This is also why I believe that the interests of Liguria must prevail”, concluded Ricci.
