NAPOLI – Just finished the presentation of lists for the renewal of the mayor of Naples, is already broke the case. Protagonist is Tonino Borriello, the director dem in a video as he handed (there was also another director, Gennaro Cierro) a euro to a supporter of the Democratic Party because they were to vote in the primaries Neapolitan candidate Valeria Valente, supported by the party and directly from Renzi . On March 6, the online magazine Fanpage.it immortalized exchange money outside a polling station. It was the storm, which brought Borriello in front of the guarantee fee, but also Antonio Bassolino, the former governor of Campania and for two mandates mayor of Naples, who own the commission presented two appeals, and a third directly to the national commission, however, getting a rejection of the whole line. And just a few hours after the application of Borriello, Bassolino writes on Twitter: “In the Democratic Party lists in Naples were candidates who gave money out at the polls: a shame.”

the defense of the director after the storm

” I did not to be rude as a party – he explains – it was cold, they had come there, they had not the euro and so I gave it to him. I did it in front of everyone, not in secret, there were others. ” Quell’euro, in fact, Borriello gave it in front of a polling station in San Giovanni Teduccio, his “headquarters”, the area where there was a high concentration of votes in favor of Valens. “I do not even know that lady – said the councilor, who greets the woman in the video – and not even remember the episode. Maybe I did it again, not even remember. Some people arrived at polling stations without the need for the euro contribution and so, out of courtesy, I gave it to him. ” And so Borriello, always Bassolino, now found himself in the role of supporter of Valente. “Any betrayal – makes it clear – when Valeria has decided to run myself, and others, we thought that with her was easier to defeat Luigi de Magistris in municipal, secondary let’s call them, because to me what matters are the municipal and interesting that the Democratic Party will win. That’s all. If the competition had been between Antonio Bassolino and Riccardo Monti, I would not have had any doubts to support Antonio, but with Valeria in the field thought that the way to win would be easier. ” And woe to give him credit for having recorded just in its San Giovanni in Teduccio, a lot ‘of votes in favor of Valente: “It is not my doing, I do not dramatize anything. Ask the citizens of Saint John, I made very few initiatives, not the ones I’ve done in the past. ” As for Bassolino, he says, “he is a person whom I respect very much, God forbid.” And his “political reference” recognizes this: “He had the great merit of revitalizing the election fabric of the Democratic Party and the party have brought us closer to the city. And this just goes thanked. “

The closure of the case

After weeks of procrastination, a trickle, the provincial Welfare Committee decided to close the procedure initiated against the directors Tonino Borriello and Gennaro Cierro. A majority verdict as president, Massimo Carrano, and vice president had proposed the suspension of at least nine months of the two, for having damaged the party’s image. Accordingly it closes as if nothing had happened the Neapolitan primary page. Besides, this could be the decision was in the air, as the three appeals filed by Antonio Bassolino have all been rejected.

Il Bassolino comment on Facebook

Bassolino sarcastically: “It lacked only a public praise “

the reaction of Antonio Bassolino was swift:” the acquittal, by a majority, of the people being filmed while distributing money out at the polls is the consistent conclusion of a shameful affair. It is irresponsible and self-harm a gift to the other political forces. It is only missing a public praise but the reward will come with applications. “

Bassolino invoked the violation of the Constitution

the violation of Article 48 of the Constitution which guarantees freedom of vote, and the illegitimacy of the election result announcement spoiled by the presence during the session of the organizing committee of the provincial secretary of the Democratic Party of Naples. They were the two cornerstones on which rested the use of twelve pages by Antonio Bassolino in which the former governor of Campania – defeated by 400 votes – calling for the annulment of the vote in the five polling stations where they recorded anomalies. “Such incidents – says the appeal prepared by the lawyer Riccardo Marone – have certainly influenced the election results.” In the application it is attracted to the regulatory framework governing the vote nationwide believing illegitimate ‘s interpretation that the consultation of 6 March should be understood as a manifestation of nature privatistic. Finally, you eccepì as in the evaluation of the first appeal by Bassolino there had been “an obvious contradiction” as the Committee was satisfied “the esecrabilità some visible episodes in the two and a half minutes of video Fanpage.it and on the other, however, does not apply the sanctions on the effects of such irregularities. “
