Sant’Agata Militello: Councilor Vitale declares independence

Councilor Antonio Vitale has officially declared himself an independent in Sant’Agata Militello, marking a significant fracture within the governing majority led by Mayor Bruno Mancuso.

In a formal communication to municipal leadership, Vitale cited an unrecoverable political and management landscape. He criticized the administration for a lack of internal democracy, claiming that strategic decisions are made at the top without prior consultation with the council. Vitale described the council's role as merely ratifying decisions rather than participating in the decision-making process. He further alleged that administrative uncertainty has led to the loss of important funding and prolonged administrative paralysis.
