“Rimaper? Absolutely not. There is only the date of the elections to decide. I will decide it with the managerial groups of the coalition that supports me both at the regional and national level and since the date of presentation of the resignation affects the date of the elections, I took a few days, but at the beginning of next week I think I am deposited them formally ». To say it, Roberto Occhiuto, resigning president of the Calabria Region on the sidelines of the works of the General States of the South of Forza Italia in progress in Villa San Giovanni.
“When I talked about my intention with the national leaders of the coalition – he added – I had very positive feedback. I would not have resigned if I had not also had the consent of the national leaders. It seems to me that there are no problems from this point of view. Then of course, the early interruption of the legislature is not the best gift that could be made to a regional, majority or opposition councilor, but certainly there is the consent from the whole team that has supported me the other time and that will also support me in the coming weeks when we go to vote “.
«I lived the judicial affair in a painful way because it is the first of my life. I clarified everything and therefore I have nothing to complain about the judiciary. I don’t resign for a warranty notice. However, unfortunately, the reverberation of this warranty notice on the regional administration was very negative. I also need to understand what relationship of trust is between me and the Calabrians ».
Regarding the opposition, Occhiuto noted that “he generally asks for the resignation but when a president resigns, then they contest him because he resigns only because he wants to speak to the Calabrians. But anyone who governs is reproached many things. I reproach myself, for example, that I could have done more in many areas. But I did everything I managed to do and for this region I did extraordinary sacrifices, also putting my health at risk ».
