Calabria politics: La Strada supports Frank Benedetto as Roberto Occhiuto presents new book

The political landscape in Calabria is highlighted by two distinct developments. The La Strada movement has announced its support for Frank Benedetto, emphasizing the need for parliamentary representation that addresses the structural difficulties of the region. The movement argues that Reggio Calabria should not be treated as a mere political testing ground, but rather as a territory requiring concrete solutions for healthcare, education, mobility, and public services to combat regional inequalities.

Separately, Roberto Occhiuto, the President of the Calabria Region and former national deputy secretary of Forza Italia, is presenting his new book, ‘Il coraggio di governare. Idee liberali, la forza di realizzarle’. The book, scheduled for presentation in Rome, reflects on his institutional experience, covering topics such as public healthcare management, European energy policies, migration, and the relationship between political ideas and administrative decision-making.
