Genoa investigation, Bucci: “Repentant? Maybe of something yes, but I will tell the magistrates”

In the event of the resignation of governor Giovanni Toti and early elections, the mayor of Genoa closes the door to a possible candidacy for the regional elections

GENOA – Do you regret going on Spinelli’s yacht? “I don’t regret anything. Maybe I regret something, but… I don’t know, maybe I’ll keep it to myself, I’ll say it when I talk to the magistrates.” Thus Marco Bucci, this morning on the sidelines of a “Giornale” conference in Doge’s Palace.

The mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci, closes the door to a possible candidacy for the regional elections, in the event of the resignation of governor Giovanni Toti and early elections. “I have a contract with the Genoese to stay here until June 2027 and I want to keep this promise, this debt with the Genoese until June 2027”, replies the mayor to reporters who ask him to account for the rumors that are starting to circulate in recent days. “Let me know about these rumors,” he adds.

“The Democratic Party has the freedom to ask for my removal as commissioner, but the government will decide. Among other things, he has the possibility to decide every year because the tasks are annual. It may well be that next time they won’t renew me, but it’s still the government that has to decide. And every citizen has the opportunity to write what he wants to anyone”, said the mayor regarding the request that arrived yesterday in the city council from the Democratic Party.

“I have always shown that I feel like continuing. So I move forward with even greater energy.” Then, he admits, “it is obvious that the situation is more difficult now, but it is a duty that I have undertaken towards the citizens and therefore we must move forward. Genoa cannot miss the opportunity to have seven billion to invest, it will be difficult for that to happen in the future.” But there may be a risk that the investigation will slow down everything – continues Bucci – it is our duty to ensure that there are no slowdowns. We are here specifically to overcome the barriers, it is our job. With the story of the San Giorgio bridge we have overcome so many barriers, there was one every week.”
