Bandecchi opens to dialogue with Forza Italia: "Alone, I'm worth more than 1%"
Published
Stefano Bandecchi, mayor of Terni and leader of the party Alternativa Popolare, is at the center of a possible rapprochement with the centre-right. According to the newspaper Il Foglio, the governing coalition is reportedly seeking to win his political support.
Bandecchi has confirmed that he met some senators from Forza Italia. In a statement, he said: "I met some senators from Forza Italia yesterday morning; alone, I'm worth more than 1 percent." With this remark, the mayor wanted to highlight the electoral weight of his movement, which would be above the one percent threshold.
The talks with Forza Italia come at a time when centre-right parties are looking for new allies ahead of upcoming electoral deadlines. A possible agreement could alter the local and national political balance, although, for now, no official details about the terms of the understanding have been announced.
The situation remains fluid. In the coming weeks, it will be possible to see whether the discussions lead to a formal agreement or remain merely an exploratory contact between the two sides.
