A New Term for the Controversial Politician
March 15, 2023
WEB Cateno Roberto Salvatore De Luca Fiumedinisi (born March 18, 1972) is an Italian politician who has served as the mayor of Messina since 2018. He has been a controversial figure throughout his career, but he has also been a popular one, as evidenced by his re-election.
De Luca's supporters praised him for his populist policies and his efforts to improve the city of Messina. They pointed to his success in reducing crime, improving public transportation, and attracting new businesses to the city.
His critics, on the other hand, accused him of being authoritarian and corrupt. They pointed to his history of making offensive and inflammatory statements and his alleged ties to organized crime.
Despite the controversy, De Luca remains a popular figure in Messina. He easily won re-election in the 2023 mayoral election, defeating his closest rival by a wide margin.
It remains to be seen whether De Luca will be able to maintain his popularity in the long term. However, for now, he is the mayor of Messina, and he seems to be firmly in control.
