A political crisis has developed in Terni, initially centered on a deadlock regarding the proposed sale of the gas network by Terni Reti. While company officials presented technical details to the III council commission, the sale was stalled by opposition from the ‘Con Bandecchi per Terni’ group and individual councilors.

The situation escalated when four councilors from the ‘Con Bandecchi per Terni’ group—Marina Severoni, Andrea Sterlini, Andrea Colasanti, and Federica Mengaroni—officially moved to the opposition. They revoked their confidence in the mayor and the municipal board, citing political disagreements following recent comments by the mayor. This split has reduced the governing majority to 15 councilors, leaving the administration's ability to govern uncertain and raising the possibility of early elections.
