Campania, De Luca: ‘I support Fico, but I will explain to him that the time for nonsense is over.’

Florence, 11 October (LaPresse) – ‘Will I support Roberto Fico? I support the centre-left and I will explain to everyone, starting with Fico, that the time for demagogy and nonsense is over.’ This was stated by the president of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, speaking on the sidelines of the Festa dell’Ottimismo 2025 (Festival of Optimism 2025) currently underway in Florence. ‘After 10 years of democratic and civil revolution, Campania needs serious proposals, not nonsense, if it wants to win the election campaign,’ added De Luca. “I will explain to Fico that, since he has been in opposition in the Campania government for ten years, he must first learn about the things we have done and talk about them, otherwise what will he talk about? Not being Richard Gere or Monica Bellucci, he will have to win support by talking about what has been done.” ‘I will remind Fico,’ he continued, ‘of a statistic: when in an election campaign in Campania the Five Star Movement gets 9% and De Luca gets 70%, who do you think needs to change? I believe that those who get 9% need to change; they need to learn how to talk to citizens and win support. There will be a battle for the centre-left to give continuity to the regional government.’
