The former president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission Nicola Morra will be a candidate for United for the Constitution in the next Ligurian regional elections. While waiting for the center-right and center-left coalitions to dissolve their reservations about their gubernatorial candidates, Mattia Crucioli, leader of the UPC group in the Genoa City Council, announced that the party will collect signatures for the presentation of the lists and has already proposed Morra’s name as ‘governor’. “Our presidential candidate was chosen in the name of independence, competence and legality – says Crucioli – we will participate in the regional elections with a human electoral campaign, without economic requests to entrepreneurs or interest groups of any kind”.
Nicholas Morra, former president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, and former senator of the M5s, was born in Genoa, but raised in Cosenzaand is currently a minority municipal councilor in Vado Ligure (Savona). Although outside of Beppe Grillo’s Movement, Morra is close to its founder. United for the Constitution presents itself as an alternative to both the centre-right and the centre-left: «Two traditionally opposed political groups that have uncritically adhered to the same socio-economic paradigm, to the same political cultural framework of reference, becoming increasingly similar and indistinguishable in positions and actions, both praising competitive, destructive neoliberalism, aimed at profit for a few and subjugation for many», concludes Crucioli. The program will be presented in the coming days.
