Battipaglia municipal political crisis

Overview

In Battipaglia, Mayor Cecilia Francese is attempting to navigate a political deadlock after losing majority support during a September 14 council session. Now holding only eight councilors, the mayor has requested a meeting with municipal councilors to discuss the possibility of a “government of the end of the mandate” to ensure public services and works are not obstructed.

Opposition leaders, who control 12 seats, have threatened to boycott the meeting. They are demanding either the mayor’s resignation or the full dissolution of the municipal board. As of late September, Mayor Francese is attempting to mediate with these opposition leaders to avoid a total political stalemate. A formal vote on a motion of no confidence, signed by 12 opposition members, remains scheduled for discussion during the municipal council meeting on October 1.

Entities
