The article discusses the “Festa dell’Amicizia” (Festival of Friendship) which will take place in Ribera from October 5th to 7th. The event aims to address topics such as peace and freedom, with the belief that peace represents an absolute value that should not be compromised. The leader of the Nuova DC party, Totò Cuffaro, mentions that the festival will feature national and international figures, including Suha Taweel and Zahwa Arafat, the wife and daughter of Yasser Arafat respectively, highlighting the party’s openness to dialogue and discussion. The three-day event will cover various crucial national topics including healthcare, agriculture, youth, and civil rights, with a focus on the interests of Sicily and the country as a whole. Other notable figures who will be present include Gaetano Galvagno, the President of the Ars, and Roberto Lagalla, the Mayor of Palermo. Cuffaro also addressed current political issues such as the reconstruction of provinces and responded to critics who claim a lack of funds. He argued that the restoration of provinces is essential and that the cost should not be used as an excuse, stating that the organization could be restructured or combined with other electoral cycles. He also rejected the notion that democracy should be evaluated based on its cost. Cuffaro further responded to comments from former Palermo mayor, Leoluca Orlando, who claimed that Lagalla is not free from the influence of Cuffaro and Dell’Utri. Cuffaro dismissed these claims, stating that he never asked anything of Lagalla, even when he served as his councilor, and that if he were to ask, the mayor wouldn’t listen to him anyway. He concluded by suggesting that Orlando should continue as he is, as his recent actions and comments risk appearing pathetic.
