Edmundo Cirielli, deputy foreign minister and a leading figure in Campania politics, opens up to the possibility of a candidacy for governor of Campania, but without forcing things. “I gave the availability that was asked of me by the regional coordinator Antonio Iannone, and it is right that it be so. I am a man of the territory, but also a government representative who does his duty”, he declared on the sidelines of the book presentation “Why Italy is right-wing” by Italo Bocchino.

Cirielli then added: “If necessary, I would be happy to do so. I have experience as a land administrator, I love my region and I would be happy to be able to contribute.” However, he clarified that this is not an imminent decision: "We haven't even started discussing the candidate for the regional elections in Campania next year. I'm sure that once we've addressed the issue, we'll definitely be very quick to find a solution. The choice is up to the coalition."
Cirielli, future in the Region?
Despite the expressed availability, Cirielli underlines the importance of his current role as Deputy Foreign Minister, in a particularly complex historical moment. “I will not jostle to be a candidate - he precised - I really like what I do. I have a crucial role in a difficult international context, with two wars underway. I think it is essential to continue to give my contribution in this role”.
The possibility of a candidacy for the leadership of the Campania Region is not excluded. “If the circumstances are right and I am called to this experience, I would certainly be proud of it”, concluded Cirielli, leaving open the possibility of a future direct commitment in his homeland.

Cirielli was right to say that he doesn't want to force things, but we need to see if he really wants to be governor or just talk. His experience as an administrator is important, but in politics there are always many complications. I hope the coalition finds a quick solution, but I'm not sure it will be easy.
