«The opponent to beat is the right. The right is split.” Thus the candidate in the Reggio Calabria by-elections for the centre-left, Frank Benedetto, on the sidelines of the final event of his electoral campaign. These by-elections are “a test of strength between the various coalitions. Ours is united, they are disunited. We give an example of cohesion, of union”, he added. “We – said Benedetto – defend people, the weakest, schools, those who are different, but above all we defend good people. Vannacci has his way of reasoning, his way of doing politics which is completely different from ours. We have little to share.” “Our voters are determined. But what I reiterate this evening is that this is a new left, it is a new way of thinking, all together. We work together – underlined Benedetto – because our objective must be to defeat the right and, at the same time, to provide services to the citizens.
“Many people are now tired of services that are not guaranteed”
«We toured the entire college 5, meeting thousands of people, we were on the streets, we collected their pain, their cries. Many people are now tired of services that are not guaranteed. The strength of the entire broad field is the commitment to representing these problems in the parliamentary seat.” Regarding the opponents’ rallies and the heated tones between Vannacci and Cannizzaro, Benedetto observes how each of them represents “their own political idea which is completely different from mine. I am on the side of the people and therefore I discuss with the people, I talk to the people and above all I want to advance the rights of the people. This is my way of thinking. I am not going to accuse anyone, I am not going to insult anyone. Those who insult practically do not engage in politics, they only make scoops, they try to do things above all against others people, against adversaries”.
