«I know political ethics and therefore I naturally reject the invitations to respect Minardo’s political ethics to the sender, because my story speaks for itself in terms of the sense of political institutions. I will honor my mandate until the end and I will not disappoint the Sicilians.” Thus Renato Schifani, on the sidelines of the States General of education, in Palermo.
“My re-nomination? We’ll vote in a year”
«The issue of my re-nomination is not on the agenda because we vote in a year and, since we vote in a year, talking about re-nominations a year before is a cloying debate; out of place among other things because it distracts us from what should be the focus on government action: we are doing many things and unfortunately all these great things which I also consider useful and important for society are being overshadowed by journalistic or non-journalistic chatter, which obscures what government action is”, said the President of the Sicilian Region.
The president’s attack on Minardo
«I hope that the Honorable Minardo can dedicate himself full time within the limits of his parliamentary mandate to the role he has as coordinating commissioner of the party, covering Sicily far and wide because an administrative appointment awaits us and we hand him over a Sicily that achieved a great result in the last European elections, 23%», concluded Schifani the day after the meeting with Antonio Tajani, called following the words of the FI commissioner in Sicily, Nino Minardo, who had hoped for «a renewal in the structures and protagonists” after the judicial investigations.
