The Campania Regional Council resumes its session, and the institutional structure of the 5th Legislature is taking shape. After a roughly two-hour recess, the assembly elected its two vice presidents, marking a key step towards the start of its work. Luca Trapanese, representing the majority and the Five Star Movement, was chosen with 24 votes. He will also serve as deputy vice president. Giuseppe Fabbricatore of the Brothers of Italy party was elected for the center-right, receiving 19 votes.
This is Trapanese's first stint in the Regional Council, after serving as Councilor for Social Policies for the City of Naples in the government led by Gaetano Manfredi. This is also the first time in the Campania assembly for Fabbricatore, a former city councilor and group leader in Nocera Superiore and provincial councilor in Salerno.
During the session, the secretaries of the Chamber were also elected, with Lucia Fortini for the majority, receiving 23 votes, and Michela Rostan for the opposition, receiving 19. Completing the presidency were the councilors Raffaele Aveta of the Five Star Movement with 23 votes and Livio Petitto of Forza Italia with 18.
Councilors elected with Casa Riformista and those from Mastella – Noi di Centro – Noi Sud did not vote, a decision that, according to leaks, arose in protest over decisions made regarding the composition of the committees. This political signal marks the start of the new legislature and suggests a heated debate in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the council group leaders have also been appointed, completing the assembly's organizational framework. Finally, noteworthy is the decision by Mimì Minnella, elected with the League in the Salerno constituency, to join the Mixed Group and take on its leadership.

It's interesting to see how the new regional council is shaping up, but I wonder if the decisions made are truly aligned with the needs of the people. Let's hope the newly elected officials work for the common good.
