Councillors Biagio Supino and Giulia Abbate have described the no-confidence vote against Airola mayor Vincenzo Falzarano as a "democratic no-confidence," saying the administration had left the town in serious difficulty.
According to statements reported by NTR24, the no-confidence motion was approved on 12 October 2026. The official council minutes and vote tally were not included in the available reporting, and the subsequent administrative steps have not been established.
Supino and Abbate said the vote reflected a political and administrative failure and thanked associations, committees and fellow councillors who supported the challenge. They also referred to 1,028 signatories of a petition backing the move.
The formal motion had been submitted under Article 52 of Legislative Decree 267/2000 by Giulia Abbate, Carmine A. Influenza, Giuseppe Maltese, Giuseppe Stravino and Biagio Supino.
As reported, the motion cited political, administrative, economic, property and environmental concerns, including alleged problems involving urban planning, industrial-site relocation, telecommunications infrastructure, flooding, water interruptions, road conditions, sewer works and waste-management infrastructure.
Those criticisms are political allegations by the motion's signatories, not independently verified findings in the reporting acquired.
The dispute concerns the political and administrative conclusion of Falzarano's term and the responsibility attributed to the previous administration by the opposing councillors.
