The political panorama of Vibo suffers a shock right in the heart of the council led by mayor Enzo Romeo. With a formal letter dated 3 February 2026, Professor Vania Continanza submitted her irrevocable resignation from the position of municipal councilor for public education.
A decision which, although taken in a climate of declared serenity, seems to be intended to respond directly to the recent turbulence that has affected Palazzo Luigi Razza.
A choice to break the political impasse
There are no personal reasons behind Continanza’s step backwards, but rather a clear political will. In the letter addressed to the mayor, the now former councilor explains how the choice came at the end of a careful analysis of the current administrative context. The declared objective is to “facilitate overcoming the impasse that has been evident to all for days”, thus offering a way out to the government coalition in a moment of evident stasis or internal tension.
The balance sheet of 18 months of mandate
Despite her farewell, Vania Continanza proudly claims the work done since her appointment until today. Over a year and a half of activities which, according to what was written, would have made it possible to lay “solid foundations” for the city’s school sector.
The former councilor was keen to thank Mayor Romeo and the Democratic Party for the trust placed in her, underlining the relationship of mutual esteem built with school managers and administrative staff. The results of this commitment were formalized in a technical report delivered to the mayor, which summarizes the objectives achieved in eighteen months of “spirit of self-sacrifice”.
The return to school
For Continanza, an institutional parenthesis defined as an experience of civil and cultural service thus ends. “I was a teacher devoted to politics and today I return with conviction, full time, to teaching”, she declared, confirming her desire to fully resume her educational mission, which she had never completely abandoned.
Now the ball passes to Mayor Enzo Romeo: Continanza’s resignation could be the first step in an imminent council reshuffle necessary to restore impetus to the city’s administrative action.
