“I think that Mario Calabresi is one of the high-level people who can start to gain interest”. The mayor of Milan Beppe Sala speaks with journalists on the sidelines of the events on the day of his succession at Palazzo Marino and responds to those who ask him if a possible candidate for the center-left could be the journalist and former director of Repubblica Calabresi. name, for now, because for Sala “it is necessary to carry out this verification: if there are alternatives from the so-called civil society then we can organize ourselves on the selection method and whether they can be primary or no” he concluded.
Sala’s mandate expires in 2026, immediately after the Olympics, and both in the center-left and in the center-right the maneuvers to propose a strong name have been underway, even if under the radar, for some time. “I hope that the center-right makes a good choice because the competition is always healthy”, continues Sala, also sending a message to his political party: “The center-right has an advantage over us, which is always together, while we struggle more At the moment, however, even in the centre-right, the divisions are such that today which of them can decide the candidate? Historically it has always been the League but FdI gets a lot of votes, Forza Italia Milano considers it its fiefdom, so it will be fun.”
On the centre-left front, he observed, “I continue to urge them not to talk about it yet, because it is too early”. The point, according to Sala, “is that any interests of people who are outside politics and parties, who want to express their abilities for Milan, must be explored. If they are not there then it is clear that we will go with the classic, primaries etc. Before talking about primaries it would be good to understand if there are authoritative availability capable of winning”.
Anci, mayor Sala: “I will fight for the president to be from the North”
“I will fight for a mayor from the north to become president of the ANCI,” Sala said on the sidelines of the opening of Digital Week, specifying that he is not running for this role. “I repeat what I said some time ago, I’m not in the game for two specific reasons. The first is that the commitment on Milan is very onerous – he added -, there are mayors who can afford to do this meritorious thing but I At this moment I would have many doubts.”
The second point, according to Sala “is that there is still a centre-right veto on my name, and I understand this also because I can cause more trouble than many others. If you want to find a slightly more shared solution then I understand it. Having said that I believe that the presidency of Anci is best given to the north. The names are there, I also mentioned them to the secretary of the Democratic Party – he explained – I am convinced that the relaunch of the country starts from the north, at this moment For those like me who see the discussion on autonomy as a problem, it is important for the North to take a position and take sides.” And then “also due to a principle of alternation, the last president of Anci (Antonio Decaroformer mayor of Bari, ed.) has been to the south and therefore it is right that he comes to the north”. However, there could be an agreement to bring the mayor of Naples to the presidency of the ANCI, Gaetano Manfredi. “I don’t know, that’s what the newspapers say, it’s probably true but right up until the end I think that the mayors of the north should make themselves heard”, he concluded.
