Naples – A sudden decision, arrived after a difficult night, reopening a chapter that was never entirely closed. Maria Rosaria boccia, an entrepreneur from Pompeii who has already been at the center of national news for the so-called "Sangiuliano affair," announced today that she is withdrawing from the race for the Campania regional elections, where she was a candidate as a councilor on the "Dimensione Bandecchi" list.
The communication came via a letter addressed directly to the movement's leader, Stefano Bandecchi. It's a personal and painful letter, expressing profound distress and the feeling of having to once again face a legal process that feels like an open wound.
"Dear President," Boccia wrote, "yesterday evening I received my second notice of investigation in just over a year.

Campania elections, Rita De Crescenzo takes a stand: "Vote Forza Italia, I'll even accompany you to the polls."
Manfredi dismisses the De Luca era: "Now for a renewal with Fico." And he challenges Meloni: "We'll win in Campania."
The affair brings to the fore the shadow of unresolved legal proceedings, which, according to Boccia, risk turning the election campaign into a battleground for personal, rather than political, reasons. A risk the entrepreneur says she is no longer willing to take, neither for herself nor for her family.
At this time, no official comments have been received from the "Dimensione Bandecchi" list. It remains to be seen what political impact the resignation will have, both on the list's composition and on the internal balance of power within the front supporting the movement's candidacy in the regional elections.
A step backward that speaks to fatigue, pressure, and an increasingly complex relationship between justice and political representation, in a context where the line between constitutional guarantees and public opinion appears increasingly blurred.

Maria Rosaria Boccia's situation is very complicated. I understand her decision to withdraw because the pressure is so great and the public scrutiny can be harsh. Let's hope she can find a way to resolve her problems.
