In Vittoria, the annual report by Mayor Francesco Aiello was critically reviewed by city councilor Biagio Pelligra of Forza Italia. Pelligra acknowledged improvements in the report's structure and tone but argued that it does not reflect the daily reality perceived by residents. He praised the financial management but criticized issues in sectors like environment, waste management, and urban infrastructure. Pelligra highlighted ongoing problems such as illegal dumps, delayed safety measures for historical sites, and inefficiencies in water supply, including the procurement of an unusable water truck and difficulties in accessing PNRR funds. He also pointed out the slow progress on urban renewal projects and lack of essential services in Scoglitti, emphasizing the need for better maintenance and urban management. Separately, in Ardea, a municipal councilor was convicted for defamatory comments made on Facebook. The councilor published offensive and confidential information about a 46-year-old man involved in a legal case, including derogatory language and unsubstantiated claims about his employment history. The court sentenced the councilor to a €450 fine, considering his conduct serious due to its public and offensive nature. This case follows previous social media disputes involving Ardea officials and highlights ongoing issues with political conduct online. Additionally, the article notes the broader context of political and social tensions, including past legal actions and the challenges faced by journalists and the press in Italy regarding defamation laws and press freedom. The cases underscore the importance of responsible communication by public officials and the ongoing legal and political debates surrounding social media conduct.
