The centre-right in the province of Benevento is asking its regional leadership for a political review of alliances and strategy in Sannio, with the 2027 Benevento municipal elections in the background.
According to NTR24, the provincial secretaries Domenico Matera of Fratelli d'Italia, Domenico Parisi of Lega, and Alessandro Mauro of Noi Moderati have written to the regional secretariats of the coalition to request a political meeting on the situation in the Benevento area.
What the letter contests
The central point reported by NTR24 concerns Forza Italia. The three signatories argue that the party has taken positions and followed lines of conduct in recent years that they consider difficult to reconcile with membership in the centre-right coalition.
In particular, the letter refers to the most recent provincial elections. The signatories maintain that the conduct of the provincial leadership of Forza Italia directly or indirectly favoured a candidacy linked to the area of Clemente Mastella.
The letter also cites administrative convergences in Sant'Agata de' Goti, in the Mountain Communities, and in other local settings. Among the cases mentioned is the risk of similar dynamics at the Comunita Montana Tammaro-Titerno.
The full text of the letter was not published in the material reviewed, so the exact wording of the accusations and the examples cited could not be independently checked beyond NTR24's account.
What the signatories are asking for
The political request is for an ad hoc regional table, with the participation of the coalition's provincial secretaries, to clarify alliances, responsibilities, and prospects in Sannio.
No official reply from Forza Italia to the reported criticisms was recorded in the sources reviewed. It is also not yet clear whether the requested regional table has been convened or what its final composition would be.
Anyone following the dispute should therefore treat two questions as still open: whether regional leaders will accept the request for a dedicated meeting, and whether Forza Italia will respond publicly to the points raised by Matera, Parisi, and Mauro.
A parallel track: Fratelli d'Italia and Azione toward 2027
Separately, Fratelli d'Italia and Azione have started a shared process ahead of the 2027 administrative elections in Benevento, according to Ottopagine and Anteprima24.
Both outlets report substantially the same joint statement, so they should be read as one political communication carried by two local publications rather than two independent accounts.
The initiative is presented as an alternative to Mastella's administration. According to the reports, it is intended to include thematic working groups open to civil society and aimed at defining programmatic lines for the city.
The priorities mentioned in the Fratelli d'Italia-Azione discussion are economic development, promotion of cultural heritage, public services, and attention to the suburbs.
No mayoral candidate and no final electoral coalition for 2027 has been indicated in the sources reviewed.
What to watch next
For readers, the useful distinction is between what has been documented and what remains to be decided.
Documented: three provincial centre-right secretaries have publicly requested regional intervention; they link that request to the provincial vote, to Sant'Agata de' Goti, and to the Mountain Communities; and Fratelli d'Italia and Azione say they are working on a common programmatic path for Benevento in 2027.
Not yet documented: the complete letter, a Forza Italia response, a date or format for the requested regional table, and any agreed candidate or coalition for the municipal vote.
A possible next step, if the regional secretariats agree, would be the convening of the requested table with provincial leaders present. A possible element of any future Forza Italia statement, if one is issued, could be its version of the provincial election episode and of the local administrative convergences cited by the three signatories. Neither step has been confirmed in the research available.
