Benevento had a crowded news day on October 23, according to local broadcaster NTR24. Opposition groups presented a no-confidence motion against mayor Clemente Mastella, built around a 24-point dossier. The same bulletin reported agricultural and haulier protests linked to fuel and production costs, a cost-of-living mobilization in front of the prefecture, and reopened ticket sales for Arezzo-Benevento.
24-point motion against the Mastella administration
Opposition groups presented a no-confidence motion against Mayor Clemente Mastella, structured around 24 points of criticism, according to NTR24 and Ottopagine.
Ottopagine names the signatories as Pd, Città Aperta, Sinistra Italiana–Avs, Civici e Riformisti and Civico 22. The same report says a public demonstration was planned for Sunday evening along Corso Garibaldi.
NTR24 describes the dossier as a broad administrative critique. The points cited in the follow-up reporting include delays to public works and PNRR projects, school-related issues, transport and parking management, urban services, and conditions in the city centre.
The available material does not include the full text of the motion or a response from the Mastella administration.
Investigations mentioned, not established
The opposition connected its political initiative to judicial investigations involving municipal figures. NTR24 reports an opposition claim that four of seven senior municipal figures were involved in investigations.
These are reported allegations. They do not establish criminal responsibility, and the available material does not independently establish the legal status or merits of the investigations mentioned.
Fuel-cost protests around Benevento
Agricultural and haulier protests linked to fuel and production costs were reported or announced around Benevento, including activity at Ponte delle Tavole and along nearby roads.
NapoliToday reports announced agricultural and haulier mobilizations in the Sannio, including planned demonstrations on State Roads 87 and 212 and at Ponte delle Tavole in Benevento.
NTR24's October 23 bulletin also reports protests over fuel costs. The reports mix events already held with planned or ongoing mobilizations; the exact impact on traffic and fuel supply is not independently confirmed in the material reviewed here.
Cost-of-living mobilization at the prefecture
NTR24 separately reported a cost-of-living mobilization involving students, workers, pensioners and unions in front of the Benevento prefecture.
The bulletin presents it as a student and union mobilization over living costs, distinct from the agricultural and haulier actions over fuel and production costs.
Arezzo-Benevento: ticket sales reopen
NTR24 reported that ticket presales for Arezzo-Benevento had reopened after technical problems, with the match scheduled for Saturday at 19:30.
Ticketing information and match-related travel arrangements may change after publication, so supporters travelling to Arezzo should recheck sales channels and kick-off details before departing.
What to watch
Two practical threads are worth following.
First, the political timetable: whether the no-confidence motion proceeds, when it is debated, and whether the administration publishes a point-by-point reply to the 24-point dossier. Readers should look for the full motion text rather than summaries.
Second, Sunday evening in Benevento: the opposition announced a public demonstration along Corso Garibaldi. Anyone in the city centre that evening should allow extra time and check local traffic notices.
A note on travel in the Sannio
For visitors, the protest reports point to three areas to check before driving: Ponte delle Tavole in Benevento, State Road 87, and State Road 212. The reports describe announced demonstrations rather than confirmed closures, so check current local traffic information before travelling and avoid assuming any route is blocked or clear.
