Foggia councilor blames mayor for city depopulation

Foggia city councilor Pasquale Cataneo has accused Mayor Maria Aida Episcopo of political responsibility for the city's severe demographic crisis. Data indicates that Foggia currently leads Italy in the outflow of residents.

Cataneo noted that the city also ranks last in Italy regarding per capita income and spending. He argued that the administration has failed to fulfill promises made in 2023 to address the loss of human capital, stating that the issues were well-documented even before the current administration took office.
