In Porto Empedocle, the Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) city coordination announced its withdrawal from the governing majority supporting Mayor Calogero Martello. The decision, driven by disagreements over political methods and administrative direction, caused internal party friction, as two FdI councilors declared they would remain in the majority to support the Mayor. In Palermo, FdI has engaged in active challenges against the governing majority supporting Mayor Roberto Lagalla. The party filed motions of no confidence against Councilors Elena Grandi and Marco Granelli, citing mismanagement of public works and urban greenery. Furthermore, FdI leadership has demanded clarity regarding regional assessor Alessandro Aricò following a police operation, signaling a significant political rift within the coalition. As the 2026 regional elections approach, center-right maneuvering is intensifying across Sicily. In the Agrigento constituency, FdI is positioning itself to become the leading party, leveraging its recent municipal performance where it secured five seats in the provincial capital. In Siracusa, FdI and Forza Italia issued a joint statement regarding the potential mayoral candidacy of Giuseppe Carta. The parties emphasized that “no agreement has been reached” concerning Carta or any other candidate, stressing that a shared political and administrative program must be established through coalition discussions before any individual candidacies are formalized.
