“The pacts are made to be observed and from what we learn from the declarations, a few days ago, by the mayor of Palermo, Roberto Lagalla, on the composition of the municipal council, the electoral pact signed by all the center-right parties on the agreement of the candidacy for mayor of the professor, according to which whoever had reached 3.5% would go to a councilor.
We now know for sure that this will not be the case.
” Totò Lentini, group leader of Popolari e Autonomisti all’Ars and leader of the Alliance for Palermo, says this.

“Lagalla was regional councilor for more than four years, thanks to the seriousness of the center-right coalition that in that case guaranteed the pre-electoral pact to include it in the regional council – recalls Lentini – since he renounced his candidacy for president of the region , and certainly not by post-electoral numerical representation having, with his Idea Sicilia movement, elected only himself in 2017.
It is singular that today the mayor advances arguments of numerical representation in the next municipal council, starting with the betrayal of a “written” pre-electoral pact that provides for the presence of a councilor designated from the “Alliance for Palermo” list, which reached 4 , 7% by far exceeding the quota set during the center-right summit together with the other parties that supported it ».
“If our exclusion from the city government really were to be realized – underlines Lentini – we would find ourselves in front of a real betrayal against the coalition and the credibility of the center-right, creating an incurable vulnus also in view of the next regional elections and national.
Today we are asking for the mayor to immediately convene a political meeting with all the parties that supported him and contributed to his election ».
