Ruotolo recalled the work of the Stabia Observatory against the Camorra and linked the current political crisis to suspicions of infiltration during the last municipal elections: "It's not a crime to be related to a Camorra member or to solicit votes, but it is morally unacceptable," he declared, explicitly calling for Oscurato's resignation. He added: "If he doesn't step back, I will also consider resigning from the City Council."
