Fratelli d'Italia calls for resignations and rejects opposition leader in Sicilian towns

In Messina, councilor Libero Giovani of Fratelli d'Italia announced that the party will not recognise any imposed leader of the opposition in the municipal council, stressing a constructive and independent stance and criticizing mayoral candidate Marcello Scurria.

In Favignana, the local Fratelli d'Italia chapter urged assessor Borgia to consider resigning after the council withdrew a proposal to join the "Cultura e tradizioni dei Castelli di Sicilia" consortium, describing the episode as a grave political failure and accusing the assessor of impropriety and lack of transparency. Both statements reflect the party’s hard‑line approach to local governance in Sicily.
