Barely a week after the official ceremony and Stefano Bandecchi, former resigning mayor of Terni, withdrew his resignation, announced on social networks and officially presented the following day. The new decision has already been registered. “It is thanks to the opposition, both that of Terni and the national one, that made me think that Terni and the nation cannot be left in the hands of these animals,” explains Bandecchi, national coordinator of Alternative Popular, also involved in the European electoral campaign. . “I am working on the candidacies. The FdI amendment that will be discussed soon requires us to collect 180,000 signatures to be able to present ourselves as candidates. An undemocratic decision, a few months before the elections,” she says.
It is a brief note from the municipality that reports the revocation of the step back, which days ago was presented as “irrevocable” by the mayor and national leader of Popular Alternative, which has become known for brawls in the city hall and sexist accusations. statements. “This is – the mayor writes to the president of the municipal council and for information to the prefect – to officially communicate the revocation of the resignation presented to the municipal council, accepted according to the protocol of the Terni City Council on February 9, 2024.” Resignation that came after a long sequence of exaggerated episodes. The last one a few days ago, at the town hall, when he got carried away in one of his statements: “A normal man looks at a woman’s ass and maybe tries: if he succeeds, he fucks her, if not he goes home. Feel as offended as you want, that’s my idea.”
The intention to abandon the tricolor band and the position of mayor had been motivated by Bandecchi “for political reasons”, because the local core of his political movement would have been contaminated by those personalisms typical “of the parties that have ruined Italy in the last thirty years,” Bandecchi had said. A tug-of-war with the supposed “dissidents”, which lasted just a week, marked by extensive media coverage in national news. Only seven days, to relaunch his candidacy for the European elections and profess himself noble father of politics and teacher of its popular alternative, in addition to making himself available as a “ductor” if necessary, for the benefit of the nation. And this morning the act of revocation was registered in the municipality.
What convinced Bandecchi to retrace his steps and remain mayor of the town of Umbria was not so much his people, who in an attempt to redeem themselves had issued a document to reiterate their alignment with the values of his party, but the presence of “too many incompetents” in the political landscape. “I cannot leave the city in the hands of these animals,” declared the mayor.
