(Adnkronos) - Gli auguri della premier ai sindaci eletti: "Ai primi cittadini il compito di accompagnare le proprie comunità in sfide importanti"
In Raffadali, the Cuffaro dynasty continues, with the brother of Totò succeeded by his granddaughter Ida: she is the new mayor.
First the brother, now the granddaughter. The Cuffaro name continues to flutter over the Comune of Raffadali. After the two mayoralties of Silvio (brother of the former governor), the granddaughter Ida Cuffaro becomes the first citizen. The 27-year-old, with counting still incomplete, has already begun celebrations while her result hovers around 80% of preferences. What was once the stronghold of the Pci in the province of Agrigento, has long been a fiefdom of the Cuffaros and the Crusaders.
“I am so happy, we expected it, we had advisors during the election campaign, but at the moment the data is surprising. We wait until the end of the counting to see the result, but I am truly satisfied,” she commented. Daughter of Giuseppe Cuffaro (brother of Totò and Silvio), Ida is a law graduate and mother of three children, and works as an assistant at the Employment Center. In recent years she has collaborated with the current administration managing the institutional communication of her uncle Silvio, who, for 21 years (as mayor and vice-mayor) has been administrator of Raffadali. With Ida, the Cuffaro political dynasty continues.
A campaign that however saw the absence of Totò Cuffaro. The former governor – after serving 4 years and 11 months in Rebibbia prison for a sentence of 7 years for aiding and abetting the mafia – ended up under house arrest in December for corruption in the context of the new investigation into tenders and appointments in healthcare. Totò “Vasa Vasa” returned to freedom a few days ago, after requesting and obtaining a plea bargain of three years (but without prison), but he could not actively participate in the electoral competition: he cannot meet with individuals holding political positions, as stipulated in the supplementary provisions of the plea bargain sentence. Despite this, however, the granddaughter – candidate with the DC (party founded by her uncle) – managed to triumph, claiming the tricolor sash. Shortly thereafter, during the official handover, she will receive it from the hands of her uncle Silvio.
