«The regional elections in Calabria were a great result for us moderates. We have exceeded 4%, we have obtained two regional councilors, we have demonstrated that the proposal of We moderates, when it also has roots in the territory, is a fundamental contribution for the government of Calabria, but also for the government of the country. Now we will work because, as President Occhiuto has repeatedly reiterated, the contribution of We Moderates cannot only be with its two regional councilors, but also with an active and qualified presence in the council.” This was stated by the president of Noi Moderates Maurizio Lupi, today in Gizzeria together with the deputy vice president and regional coordinator of Calabria, Giuseppe Galati, for a meeting with the local party. Lupi is not afraid of the appeals presented by three excluded councilor candidates who ask for a recount based on the votes assigned to the presidential candidate and not to the list.
A recount that could lead to the exclusion of We moderates who with the recalculation would not exceed the 4% threshold. «Many appeals are filed after the elections. Everyone – said Lupi – legitimately has the right to present all the appeals they want. It seems to me that the data was validated by everyone who was supposed to validate the data. So we keep working.” «It seems to me that today the challenge, even here in Calabria, together with President Occhiuto – Lupi then said – is to continue good governance and overcome the challenges we face, for example on healthcare and the fact that we are about to leave the commissionerate is an important signal. Then there are the great challenges regarding the issue of businesses, at a time like this, of the relaunch of the South, of young people, which for us is one of the fundamental elements and We moderates will insist a lot on this. Young people, families and small and medium-sized businesses must be at the heart of the political action of the national government, but also of the regional government.”
