"I thank Berlusconi, Meloni, Salvini, Romano, Totò Cuffaro when they gave me the news of the candidacy - he says - This victory will favor the Sicilian people, because there will be synergy with the national government".
"All parties that support me will overcome the 5% barrier, this will allow for a solid majority in the regional assembly," said Schifani.
On the composition of the junta he added: "I will respect the timing of the Statute and to form it I will ask for a list of names from the parties".
"
I will set up a conference of services, composed of men of the state, as former magistrates, possibly not Sicilians, to give us a hand" against mafia infiltration in the PNRR
", Schifani highlighted." However, they must be foreign to our territory - he adds - We we want the checks to be made, we will not shirk ".
