On 26 October 2026, Benevento broadcaster NTR24 published a political letter attributed to Luigi Rubano, described as a voter of Clemente Mastella.
The letter responds to an editorial by Marco Staglianò and to recent statements by Gino Abbate, entering an ongoing local discussion about alliances and political conduct in Benevento and the Sannio area.
Its central argument is that the current political debate should take past alliances into account rather than presenting present positions as entirely linear or ideologically pure. In the writer's phrasing, reflected in the headline, the people of Benevento do not need lessons in consistency.
Among the points raised, the letter argues that Abbate's 2020 election to the Regional Council benefited from Mastella's support, votes and political organisation. That remains the letter writer's claim; NTR24's published extract does not independently verify the underlying electoral history or subsequent party alignments.
The letter also rejects rhetoric appealing to the "intelligence of the Beneventans," portraying local voters instead as having a long political memory.
The broader dispute cannot be fully reconstructed from the material available: the referenced editorial and Abbate's recent declarations were not acquired alongside the letter, and the extracted page exposes only part of Rubano's text.
