Two municipal councillors in Cerreto Sannita, Ilaria Tedeschi and Christian De Nicola, have announced their departure from the Noi di Centro party. The council group itself will remain united and continue to operate autonomously in the municipal council.
What happened
Tedeschi and De Nicola communicated their break with Noi di Centro, explaining that the council group will stay together while acting independently. The departure concerns the party affiliation, not the working unity of the two councillors.
The councillors say they intend to begin an autonomous political path based on freedom of judgment, dialogue, transparency and shared decision-making.
The new name of the council group has not yet been communicated.
Why they left
According to the statement reported by local coverage, the decision stems from disagreement over political agreements concluded at territorial level without the prior involvement of local representatives. The reporting also mentions Forza Italia in connection with those agreements.
The available sources report the position of Tedeschi and De Nicola. No response from Noi di Centro or from the other political groups involved has emerged in the verified research.
Context: the group formed in 2024
The move closes a chapter that began in July 2024, when De Nicola and Tedeschi joined Noi di Centro and formed the council group "Noi Di Centro – per Cerreto Sannita," with De Nicola as group leader.
That background helps explain the significance of the current announcement: the two councillors are not leaving the council or dividing from each other, but ending the party link established two years earlier.
What stays the same, and what to watch
For residents, the practical point is continuity: the two-member group remains intact and will continue its council activity in autonomous form.
Two questions remain open. The first is formal: what name the autonomous group will take, since that has not yet been announced. The second is political: whether the break will produce formal changes to administrative roles or to the balance within the municipal majority. That has not been clarified in the sources available.
