Vico Equense beach dispute

Entities: Campania · Giuseppe Aiello · Francesco Emilio Borrelli · Vico Equense · Rosario Lotito

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli conducted a live broadcast from the beaches of Vico Equense without notifying the municipal administration. Mayor Giuseppe Aiello denounced the visit as a publicity stunt, pointed out technical inaccuracies about beach classifications, and invited the MP to the town hall to discuss the town’s seafront management.

A week later, Borrelli returned to Marina di Vico with a representative of Europa Verde for an on‑site inspection that doubled as a protest against alleged illegal beach stalls and private appropriation of public seafront. The mayor again attended, while Borrelli cited numerous citizen reports and urged the port authority to strengthen monitoring, emphasizing that the sea should remain a public resource.
