Palermo divided over nightlife regulations: Council work blocked

Last Updated: November 17, 2023

The nightlife regulation in Palermo is causing a deadlock in the City Council. The regulation, which has been under discussion for six months, has only seen two articles approved due to disagreements among the majority. The tension during the session was evident, with the DC party warning allies not to abuse their patience, while other parties emphasized the need for dialogue. The City Council groups have also criticized the mayor for not having a supporting coalition, and the meeting was closed with the assessor waiting for the Council’s decisions before making political evaluations.
