Pasquale Giuditta and Marcella Sorrentino, respectively the regional representative and the Benevento provincial representative of Noi di Centro, have called on the Democratic Party and the centre-left in Campania to apply garantismo consistently.
According to reports by NTR24 and Ottopagine, the statement was prompted by remarks attributed to Milan Mayor Beppe Sala after the Milan urban-planning investigation was reported to have ended without further proceedings against him. The precise legal outcome was described through the political statement and was not separately verified in the reporting.
Giuditta and Sorrentino argued that political competition should be kept separate from judicial hypotheses. They criticized the Pd and Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra for what they described as an intermittent or politically selective use of punitive judicial rhetoric — garantismo, in their words, “non a corrente alternata o quando fa comodo.”
In the Benevento context discussed in the statement, the two NdC representatives claimed that neither the mayor of Benevento nor other members of the city executive were under investigation. The underlying local circumstances and legal statuses were not independently verified in the reports.
To support their criticism of the Campanian left, they cited the Soresa investigation and the dissolutions of the municipalities of Caserta, Marano, Torre Annunziata, Castellammare di Stabia and Sarno. Those cases were invoked as examples in NdC’s political argument; the reports do not independently establish the legal claims attached to them.
Giuditta and Sorrentino said they would seek accountability from regional secretary De Luca and from the Pd’s national leadership, referred to as the Nazareno. They presented Noi di Centro and Clemente Mastella as holding a garantista position grounded in constitutional principles.
The reports carry only NdC’s position. They do not include responses from the Pd, Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra, De Luca or the Democratic Party’s national leadership.
