(ANSA) - CATANIA, 05 AUGUST - "The candidate? The candidate of the center-right is the outgoing president of the Sicilian Region.
Until the coalition says 'no, Musumeci cannot be, there is another one'".
This was stated by the president of the Sicilian Region Nello Musumeci responding in Catania to journalists' questions on the sidelines of the laying of the first stone of the judicial citadel.
"We have been with the same government since the beginning - he added - with the same councilors. We arrived yesterday and there will be another one on Monday. We have worked quietly with our usual commitment".
"The coalition - added Musumeci - must eventually find a candidate who is not from Catania, because this is one of the accusations, that I am from Catania; who is not unpleasant, because it seems that I am unpleasant; who is not 1.85 tall. So someone with a stature a little shorter, that he was not ideally consistent, that is, that he did the bank jump, that he had legal problems, because whoever has not had them cannot be president of the Region. It is easy or not easy to find a candidate .. .? ".
