Sala: “I’m not running for the European elections, I’m still being mayor. Those who have the trust of the citizens must go on”

“I just point out that since I’ve been mayor, every three or four months the rumor comes out that I want to do something else but I’m always here. So this time too I will continue to do my job”. She said it the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, commenting on the rumors of his possible candidacy in next year’s European elections. “If a person is elected and has the trust of the citizens, he has a duty to go ahead and complete his mandate, and I will do it,” she concluded.

For Sala, the absence of 7 councilors at yesterday’s session “is a serious matter”

“Yes, of course we can talk about a crisis. I’m sorry for Fontana because you should never be happy with your colleagues’ problems, but it’s a serious thing”. This was stated by the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, in response to those who asked him if we can speak of a crisis for the Lombardy regional council after what happened yesterday, when seven councilors deserted the council session including those of the Brothers of Italy.

“I think it’s not just a small sign but a clear sign of the fact that, on the other hand, the construction of governance systems is closely linked to the logic of the parties – he added on the sidelines of an event -. In Milan this is not the case, because I’ve always had absolute freedom or I’ve taken it. I’ve never had any conditioning”. On the possibility of correcting the weight of the parties involved, Sala added that “it depends on what my colleague Attilio Fontana is able to do. If we start like this, then everything becomes much more difficult, so if he has to correct it must be done immediately – he concluded – He is the president, he was elected so he must have the freedom to make his choices otherwise I understand his outburst that we cannot go on like this”.
