The article discusses the recent debate surrounding alliances and candidacies for the upcoming European elections, focusing on the perspective of Totò Cuffaro, the national secretary of the Christian Democracy party.

He mentions the missed opportunity for a reintegration of a lower center-right area based on shared principles, and expresses the disappointment of the Christian Democracy party in the evolution of the situation. Despite the absence of their symbol and candidates, Cuffaro reaffirms the commitment of the party to supporting the efforts within the center-right in the European consultation and hopes for the future development of a European People’s Party.
