In late July 2026, Modica’s mayor Maria Monisteri Caschetto dissolved the city council for a second time within 18 months, citing an administrative review amid a fire emergency. Opposition parties denounced the move as a partisan stunt and warned of administrative paralysis. Eight days later, two councilors, Antonio Drago and Tino Antoci, formally resigned, stating that the conditions no longer allowed them to serve under the mayor’s reset of the executive. They expressed gratitude for past collaboration and confidence that their work would benefit the city, while the mayor framed the reset as a means to streamline governance and advance pending negotiations. No further developments have been reported since these resignations.
