During a rally held this evening in Reggio Calabria together with the President of the Region Roberto Occhiuto, the Honorable Francesco Cannizzaro effectively announced his candidacy for mayor of the city.
During his speech, Cannizzaro used words that ignited the enthusiasm of those present and clarified his political intentions: “If needed, I am ready to take the field wearing the amaranth shirt”, he declared, evoking a strong identity symbol for the city and its citizens.
In his speech, the Reggio MP also wanted to underline the vision with which he proposes to lead the Calabrian capital, promising renewal and competence: “Let’s deliver to Reggio the best ruling class, the best political class it has ever had”, he stated, to the applause of the public. Cannizzaro’s intervention, warmly welcomed by supporters, thus marks the de facto start of the race to lead Palazzo San Giorgio, with the support of a substantial part of the Calabrian centre-right and the declared objective of relaunching Reggio Calabria with a new administrative season.
Cannizzaro then added that the Occhiuto Presidente list (already competing in the latest regional elections) will also participate in the electoral competition.
«We do not understand Ilaria Salis’ statements about the killing of the three carabinieri in Veneto. People like her should be kicked and sent home. And the same thing should be done towards those who think like her and, like her, hold institutional positions” Cannizzaro then stated.
“It is serious that there are people – added Cannizzaro – who allow themselves the luxury of offending the memory of the men of the police force who lose their lives in the exercise of their duty”.
