Michele Emiliano wants to return to the judiciary more than twenty years after the last hearing, but not on tiptoe: the former mayor of Bari and outgoing governor of Puglia aims to get back there toga straight to the top of your career. On the other hand, his political future is uncertain: the new regional president Antonio Decaro blocked his path to re-nomination Pugliaforcing the former governor to direct his ambitions towards new and old horizons. Between a candidacy for Parliament in 2027, a return as simple councilor and the return with great pomp in the judiciary, Emiliano he chose the last option.
