Day of inspections for the centre-left mayoral candidate Antonella Russo. But also of unprecedented diplomatic incidents. The PD councilor was among the Vascone market workers and took part, together with other Dem exponents, in the mobilization of the seafarers of the Strait (“not only the Blu Jet workers – the alarm raised by the provincial secretary of the PD, Armando Hyerace -, the Caronte & Tourist dispute, now upon us, is highly worrying”, and there is also a parliamentary question from the deputy Stefania Marino).
