Mastella: "I am the only centrist mayor elected in this election. The vote in Benevento, the hundreds of congratulatory phone calls received from all over Italy, encourage me to create a centrist party at the national level, because without this you cannot win in Italy. I want to create a centre that chooses, not that is chosen".
Clemente Mastella, re-elected mayor of Benevento, said this when meeting journalists. “There are many people,” he added, “who want to get back into politics. You will see what happens in the next few days, starting with Campania.”
"Perifano like Trump. They are the only two politicians in the world who did not congratulate their victorious opponents after the outcome of the vote", Mastella explained, answering journalists who asked him if he had received a phone call from his competitor in the runoff, Luigi Diego Perifano, candidate of the center-left.
“And yet – added the former minister – since yesterday they have been calling me from every corner of the country to congratulate me on my victory 'alone against all'”. “Several politicians have called me, starting with the governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca up to Pierferdinando Casini, the mayors of Naples and Caserta, but also personalities from the world of entertainment such as Renato Pozzetto and Lino Banfi. No, Perifano did not call me”.
