According to NTR24, a public meeting at the Auditorium Virgineo brought together Umberto Del Basso de Caro and Pasquale Viespoli to discuss the future of Benevento and a possible coalition ahead of the next municipal elections.
NTR24 reports that the discussion covered the city, a judicial upheaval described as involving Palazzo Mosti, the city's socioeconomic decline, and possible remedies.
The NTR24 piece reads the meeting as the opening of the municipal election campaign and as the occasion to make a political convergence public. According to that reading, the convergence could become a broad coalition including part of the PD, civic opposition groups, and right-wing components.
The same editorial argues that an alliance built only in opposition to Clemente Mastella would risk strengthening the Mastella bloc and producing an administration without a shared political outlook.
This account reflects NTR24's editorial interpretation published on 2 November 2026, not independently verified facts. The article does not give a precise date for the meeting, referring to it only as last Saturday, and there is no verified confirmation that the described convergence has become a formal agreement. The claims about judicial developments at Palazzo Mosti, socioeconomic conditions, and the composition of a future coalition have not been independently corroborated.
