Scafati. “In light of the crisis that has opened up within my majority, the absence of a common perspective and shared intent, I have resigned as mayor of this city. With me also all the councilors who make up the Council”.
The mayor of Scafati and regional representative of Forza Italia, Pasquale Aliberti, announced it in a note. In the last few days, 5 majority city councilors had held a press conference, effectively opening the crisis at Palazzo Mayer 17 months after the administrative elections that had (re)assigned the tricolor sash to Aliberti.
The resignation, among other things, comes just a few weeks after the full acquittal obtained by Aliberti himself, accused of political-mafia electoral exchange.
The mayor of Scafati has made an appeal to other political forces: "Today, on the eve of yet another City Council meeting, called to deliberate on important issues for the community, I feel the need to take a step back and resign as mayor to verify whether there is still room for establishing a relationship of institutional dialogue within the city council, with all the civic forces that, beyond party and ideological affiliations, have the future of this community at heart".
