Fratelli d’Italia exits Porto Empedocle governing majority

The Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) city coordination in Porto Empedocle has announced its withdrawal from the governing majority supporting Mayor Calogero Martello. City coordinator Giuseppe Todaro cited a lack of political conditions for continued collaboration, citing disagreements over political methods, administrative involvement, and the city's future direction.

However, the decision has caused internal friction within the party. FdI city councilors Michelangelo Bruno Gallo and Roberto Marcolo have declared they will remain in the majority to support Mayor Martello. Gallo intends to retain his position as an assessor in the municipal government. The councilors expressed astonishment at the coordination's decision, suggesting it may be driven by external political motives, while Todaro stated that the councilors' decision to stay is politically incompatible with the party's official stance.
