In Chiaravalle Centrale, municipal councilor Claudio Foti has challenged the local administration regarding the management of debt following an executive injunction from the Court of Catanzaro. The decree, issued in favor of Baffa Costruzioni srl, established a total liability of €109,463.31, covering principal, interest, and legal fees.

Foti alleges that the administration bypassed required oversight by failing to present this debt to the City Council for recognition as an off-balance-sheet liability, as mandated by Article 194 of the Consolidated Law on Local Authorities. He contends that this lack of council involvement prevented elected representatives from discussing a matter with significant economic consequences for the municipality.
