The opposition council members of Cerda express deep concern over the ongoing legal case involving Mayor Salvatore Geraci. They are alarmed by the serious accusations brought against him and other members of his majority, raising disturbing questions about their management of public affairs. They believe it is essential for the mayor to immediately resign from his position and from the regional Anti-Mafia commission as a matter of propriety and respect for the Cerda community. They emphasize that they believe in the presumption of innocence, unlike Mayor Geraci who exploited and manipulated issues involving his opponents during the election campaign. They express full solidarity with the municipal police commander and the priest who was dismissed and call for the mayor to urgently convene a council meeting to submit his resignation.
