"I ask everyone to pray for me. I'm sick too, I hope I can make it."
Clemente Mastella took the microphone in the Basilica of Benevento, packed for the celebrations for Our Lady of Grace, patron saint of Sannio, organized by Archbishop Michele Autoro.
His voice cracking with emotion, he made the announcement, chilling the many faithful present. Then, after a few moments of silence, a huge round of applause erupted, encouraging the man who has now been the mayor of Benevento for ten years.
Many messages of encouragement appeared on social media. Mastella appeared deeply moved and moved. He also recalled his ten years as city councilor and addressed the Catholic Church after the Lefkada schism, which he "called a terrible thing," reiterating the importance of a church that "comes down to the people, to the poor."
Clemente Mastella was also Minister of Labor for 7 months in the first Berlusconi government and Minister of Justice from 2006 to 2008, during the Prodi government which he helped bring down when he was leader of the Udeur.
