Marino will be the leader in the Center constituency for Avs. The announcement was made in a press conference with the leaders of Avs, Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni.

Marino, as in 2013 for his first speech in the Capitol, arrived at the Foreign Press Room in Palazzo Grazioli, on a bicycle. Running as a candidate is a "courageous choice by Marino", the words of Europa Verde co-spokesman Bonelli.
