Basilicata: five unpresentable for the Regionals

There are five “unpresentable” candidates – three in the centre-right and two in the centre-left – for the regional elections scheduled in Basilicata on 21 and 22 April. It is the result of the checks carried out by the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission on the violation of the self-regulation code. The unpresentable are Angelo Antenori (Lucanian pride), Vincenzo Clemente (UDC-DC with Rotondi-Popolari Uniti), Francesco Piro (Forza Italia) in the centre-right; Lucio Libonati e Livio Valvano, both candidates with the Avs-Si-Psi list. Among the unpresentable, Piro is an outgoing regional councilor.
