Arancio will leave the council for “personal and practical reasons”: “It is right to give space to young people”

Frost. Moreover, he is the councilor with the most administrative and institutional experience. The current city commissioner of the Democratic Party, Giuseppe Arancio, a former regional deputy, has made it clear that his presence will be limited in time. Personal and practical reasons, among them that he controls the fate of the mental health center, do not allow him to continue. He is one of the councilors who will soon give up his seat. “There are personal, health and practical reasons that do not allow me to go forward, and Mayor Di Stefano knows this – says Arancio – and it is right to give space to young people who have the qualities to do it.” The Democrats, as the leader of the council group, Gaetano Orlando, has made clear, do not intend to support radical changes in the city government. The electoral result allowed him to appear in the council with six members, and the funds in the council are likely to be linked to the numbers of Democrats in the coalition. “If the circumstances are right, we will think about two of our representatives,” he adds. The Democratic Party’s direction does not seem to foresee any particular deviations, even if there is no intention to pressure the mayor, with whom dialogue is open. Rumors follow one another, including the one that led to the former FdI city councilor Salvatore Schira. “We cannot comment on what are currently just rumors – specifies the PD commissioner – one thing is certain, that there is no agreement with the center-right advocates”.
