Sicilian political and union leadership changes

Overview

Recent developments in Sicily involve shifts in both labor union and political leadership.

Giuseppe Accardo, a superintendent of the Guardia di Finanza, was elected as the new Regional Secretary General for Sicily of the Sindacato Nazionale Finanzieri (Si. Na. Fi.) on October 23. Accardo succeeds Antonio Gioia and aims to focus on personnel rights and administrative dialogue.

In the political sphere, Anthony Barbagallo resigned as the regional secretary of the Democratic Party (PD) in Sicily.
