Storm for visiting former Knight, Zambuto resigns as … – The Republic

Marco Zambuto resigned as chairman of the Democratic Party in Sicily. A decision taken as a result of heated controversy erupted over the news, revealed today by the Republic, a visit of the exponent dem Berlusconi home.

A new storm linked to mad primary Agrigento, those organized by the Democratic Party with the participation of Forza Italy. The meeting took place in late February: Marco Zambuto, president of dem in Sicily, went to Palazzo Grazioli with Congressman Richard Gallo Plagued blue, which is the big sponsors of Silvio Alessi, who then won the elections to the gazebo. There Zambuto and Gallo Plagued saw Silvio Berlusconi.

A secretive meeting, entitled to voice political fiction until Sunday. Until, in a summit of the center of Agrigento, the same Gallo admitted the fact. To the amazement, and in some cases the indignation, of the many witnesses who have found in that face to face with the test of Berlusconi pactum sceleris: nothing but civic coalition for the good of the city, the agreement between the Democratic Party and Forza Italy and the hotly contested victory Alessi would be planned around a table. Some people add that, in Via del Plebiscito, the leader of the Democratic Party in Sicily would even talked with the former Knight of a role as deputy mayor in the administration Alessi. In the aftermath of his “revelations”, Gallo Plagued silent. He, Zambuto (also a past in the PDL), admits the encounter but offers his explanation: “I went to Palazzo Grazioli for a human question: Plagued Gallo was in trouble because some media had raised the statements of a repentant whereby Congressman in 1988 would have contributed to a murder of mafia. I asked him, in short, to testify before Berlusconi on his honesty – says Zambuto -. And he asked me because, as an opponent, I could be believable. “

The only certainty, in this story, is that the serious allegations against Gallo Plagued have been voted by judges without foundation. As for the “noble gesture” of Zambuto, the first to doubt is the secretary of the Democratic Party in Sicily, Fausto Raciti “Zambuto has an obligation to explain, and better, the reasons for a meeting inconvenient. Even this story confirms that we have done well to cancel the primaries. “

The number two of the National Democratic Party, Lorenzo Guerini, asked for the resignation of stamene Zambuto. And that is Raciti Undersecretary David Pharaoh, Colonel of Renzi in Sicily, Zambuto called to invite him to take a step back. Were not the only ones.

“It would be quite useful to resign, otherwise then we do.” So said the president of the Region Rosario Crocetta. “I’m really dismayed that Zambuto says it went to Palazzo Grazioli to ensure the honesty of a parliamentary respect to a possible involvement of quest’lultimo in competition for a murder – he added -. But what does this thing says? These statements have left me shocked. The rise of Zambuto to party chairman I think it was too accelerated went from member of Forza Italy, then the middle and then

President of the Democratic Party in Sicily. There is that People change, but there is little that anyone is responsible executive positions, “concluded Crocetta. Attack the president of the Commission for Constitutional Affairs Ars, the Pd Antonello Cracolici: “I hope Zambuto, after reading the newspapers, apologize to the militants of the Democratic Party and resign from office,” he writes on Facebook, after learning Visit revealed today by the Republic.
