Meloni-Nordio reform, flop in Siracusa: No close to 60%

Follow us

More than six out of ten in the province have rejected the constitutional reform branded by Meloni-Nordio. A blow for the center-right, especially for Luca Cannata. The parliamentarian from Brothers of Italy, who campaigned for the Yes, emerges clearly defeated even in his Avola, where he only gathers 40.48%. The No side approaches 60%, in a city where the mayor Rossana Cannata did not spare efforts in support of the Yes. A political Caporetto to reflect on ahead of the upcoming electoral deadlines (Regional and National). "We did what we believed was right, - says Luca Cannata - with seriousness and responsibility, advancing a reform to modernize justice. We respect the citizens' vote. Now we move forward for Italy and our land."

In Rosolini, the reference territory of the Forza Italia regional deputy Riccardo Gennuso, the Yes did not exceed 41.8%. The data is clear: without the support of Sicily, Giorgia Meloni risks losing even the Political elections. The center-left rejoices, having promoted the No to the reform, from the Democratic Party to the 5 Star Movement. The only two municipalities in the province that went against the trend, where the Yes prevailed, are Pachino (53.09%) and Portopalo (61.4%).
