Renato Coletta is the new entry in South calls North announced this morning by Federico Basile and Cateno De Luca, in the now usual Tuesday press conference. A striking name (even if there had been no shortage of rumors in recent weeks), if you think about how harsh the political opposition implemented by the councilor of the fourth Municipality, a former centre-left, was, especially during the period of the water crisis.

“I was approached for an effective collaboration, on the merits – explained Coletta – I accepted by continuing to do street politics. I gave myself a sabbatical, I got out of the ring, and I noticed some nuances: usually the good guys are in the opposition and the bad guys are in the government, but I saw that the good guys weren’t that good after all and the bad guys weren’t that bad. This is what happened, in total coherence with my principles”.

Today’s conference is dedicated to the recovery and the path taken since 2018, in particular from the creation of Arisme, passing through the famous “pact” of May 2019, on the occasion of the European elections, with Silvio Berlusconi.
