Preparations for the Chamber of Deputies by-elections in Reggio Calabria have intensified through community engagement and political endorsements. The Forum delle Idee organized a public debate for the four candidates to discuss regional issues such as youth emigration, the labor market, and cultural development.

In a related political development, the movement ‘Reggio Civica’ officially endorsed Frank Benedetto, a local physician and city councilor, for the single-member constituency. Coordinator Giuseppe Ielo supported Benedetto due to his local ties, while criticizing opposing coalitions for selecting candidates perceived as outsiders.
