(ANSA) - PALERMO, 03 AUG - "I thank Gianfranco Miccichè for the expressions of esteem towards me. As a Sicilian, deeply attached to my land, I can only consider the candidacy proposal for the Presidency of the Region a very high honor and an equally high responsibility" .
So in a note the former minister Stefania Prestigiacomo.
"I have been a Forza Italia militant since 1994 - recalls the Italian parliamentarian -, a party that has given me so much and to which I have dedicated all my political work. Today as yesterday, my commitment is available to the party".
"As far as the Sicilian Region is concerned - Prestigiacomo emphasizes - I believe it is essential, as is happening for the definition of candidacies and programs at a national level, that the center-right coalition find the reasons for unity both in terms of programmatic proposals and candidacy for the Presidency. the strength of our alliance has always been the unity of purpose with which we presented ourselves before the voters. Failing this distinctive trait - he concludes - would mean dispersing the heritage of credibility and trust that Sicilians recognize in us and thus favoring a left without ideas, which has restoration as its sole objective ".
