Naples, 7 October (LaPresse) – "I thank President Meloni for the trust she has placed in me. She is doing a lot for the South and for Italy, and I am further flattered that she wanted to give her imprimatur to the start of this election campaign. I aim to win, and I know that there is a great desire for change in Campania." These were the words of Edmondo Cirielli, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, in Naples for a conference at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, on his candidacy for the presidency of the Campania Region announced by Fratelli d'Italia and supported by Lega and Noi Moderati. “I want to be the coalition's candidate. I never asked for this candidacy, but I am doing it with pride for my homeland and also because I am convinced that the centre-right can offer Campania a different opportunity,” added Cirielli.
