Carlo Ciccioli defends Francesco Acquaroli against calls for resignation

European Parliament member Carlo Ciccioli (FdI-ECR) has defended Francesco Acquaroli against calls for his resignation following the ‘Ricostruzione’ investigation. Ciccioli stated that Acquaroli is not under investigation and accused the political left of hypocrisy and double standards.

Ciccioli noted that Acquaroli had already taken action by requesting the resignation of his former chief of staff upon hearing rumors of irregularities, despite a lack of confirmed findings. He further criticized political opponent Mangialardi for making improper comparisons, citing Mangialardi’s own pending legal proceedings related to the 2014 Senigallia flood.
