«In his place I would be ashamed as a thief»- Corriere.it

«He who never changes his mind never changes anything. I realized that probably in the past I made some incorrect evaluations, I changed my mind. Today there is a family of values ​​that can welcome me and that has done so despite the fact that I have expressed harsh words even against Schifani in the election campaign. Schifani wanted to go further and wanted to give me a gesture of affection and esteem, which I appreciated». Thus the former leader of the M5S in Sicily, Giancarlo Cancelleri, announces the leap into Forza Italia, the opposing political barricade that he had fiercely contested for years.

Clerks, the former deputy minister and undersecretary for infrastructure in the Conte and Draghi governments who had abandoned the Five Stars in recent days
, this morning he showed up at the Forza Italia convention, underway in Palermo, sitting in the second row, right behind the president of the Region Renato Schifani.

The former deputy minister and undersecretary for infrastructure in the Conte and Draghi governments also received a welcome from the vice president of Forza Italia: “There is also a new friend in the room, Giancarlo Cancelleri whom I greet”. says Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, via video link.

«Forza Italia is an open party, I welcome Giancarlo Cancelleri. He was an opponent of Musumeci, but he did it with style. In his role as deputy minister and undersecretary he has shown that he is in the interests of Sicily », adds Governor Schifani.

Alessandro Di Battista, in a post on Facebook, instead uses very harsh words: «I remember Giancarlo Cancelleri’s attacks on me when I left the 5 Star Movement for that ignoble support for the Draghi government. A government which, among other things, allowed Cancelleri himself to collect a few extra salaries as Undersecretary of Infrastructures”. And then: «Well, in these hours Cancelleri is participating in the Forza Italia convention in Palermo. Is this perhaps the evolution that I failed to understand? Watch. Cancelleri is seated behind Schifani. I remember what he said both publicly and privately about Schifani himself. What an unworthy parable. I would be ashamed like a thief in his place.’
