From the talk shows of La7, where she has been very popular in recent years, to the candidacy for mayor of Palermo, passing through the European Parliament. Francesca Donato, MEP elected with the League, one of the fiercest exponents of the No Green Pass propaganda, who in recent years was practically stationary on TV, recently released by the Northern League in controversy with the too moderate positions of the League, announced with a video published on social networks his candidacy for mayor of the Sicilian capital who will choose the successor of Leoluca Orlando next spring.
“I want to offer an alternative to parties, to a policy that follows a logic that is too far removed from those of the citizens. I place my experience, my commitment at the service of the city of Palermo as an independent candidate for mayor ». Donato in recent months has led the front against the green pass, controversially leaving Matteo Salvini’s party, contesting the leveling of the League on the policies of the Draghi government. One thing that the former Northern League explains as follows: “My candidacy for mayor and my list will be a tool to give voice and role in institutions for all citizens who want to get involved and who have a different idea of politics.” «I ask citizens – the MEP scans in the video – to build together a project to revive Palermo. For this reason, the meeting with the associations of the territory, with the productive categories and all citizens of good will will be a priority in this phase to build a shared program that has as its foundation the defense of the rights of all ».
Donato is the first to announce his candidacy for Palazzo delle Aquile, burning the center-right and center-left coalitions over time. His last battle at the European Parliament is just the day before yesterday: he won a first round after joining the appeal against the decision of the bureau of the presidency of the European Parliament which from November 3 had subordinated access to the buildings of the European Parliament in its three workplaces in Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg at the presentation of a European Covid digital certificate. “Pending the final decision of the Court which should arrive by the end of the year, together with the other parliamentary colleagues we will write a letter to the President of the European Parliament Sassoli asking to suspend as a precaution the Bureau’s provision on the mandatory green pass for all MEPs and the workers of the EU Parliament, ”Donato explained. Now his battle will also be experienced in the Sicilian ballot boxes.
