Numerous State Police officers guarded the building, even carrying out a light charge to prevent the protesters from entering the town hall. After a brief respite, they were allowed to enter, and as soon as Mayor Cecilia Francese began her speech, she was immediately challenged: "You must resign," several residents shouted, "Go home." The session then resumed without any major incidents.
Vincenzo Inverso, leader of the #perunnuovoinizio movement, is once again calling on the mayor to resign: "The massive police presence in the City Council is proof of the end and total failure of this administration and of Mayor Francese.
