After the green light to the sale of San Siro for the majority of the mayor Sala, the first defections arrive. Monguzzi (Verdi) says “goodbye”, while the head of the “room list” resign
The Green light to the sale of San Siro It seems to have caused internal shocks from the destructive potential inside the junta of Beppe Sala. After the favorable vote, who arrived in the city council at the end of an exhausting 11 -hour session, The left majority now records the first defections.
The head of the Sala List is resigned
The first significant crack in the political building of the left majority materializes with the decision of Marco Fumagalli to resign as a group leader of the “Beppe Sala Mayor” list.
The outgoing group leader had expressed his opposition to the San Siro operation from the beginningkeeping a critical position that led him not to participate not even in the final vote.
Since his vote is no longer decisive, given the exit from the classroom of the Forza Italia councilors who lowered the quorum, Fumagalli decided not to vote during the session, thus deciding to resign as a group leader of the Sala List.
Its exit represents a worrying signal for the coalition holding, as well as a powerful allegory of isolation and the difficulties that are characterizing Beppe Sala’s second mandate.
Monguzzi says “goodbye”
Even more sensational and definitive is the announcement of Carlo Monguzzithe 74 -year -old municipal councilor of Europe Green, who made his exit from the majority with words of fire against the administration.
«In common the policy is over. Cynicism and opportunism win. From the dream started with Pisapia to the nightmare of these days. For me the measure is full. Goodbye, “the Milanese environmentalist wrote in a note from very hard tones.
Monguzzi’s message represents much more than a simple political defection: it is a profound ideological break with what he himself calls “the majority of cement”. The exponent of the Verdi, who had voted against the resolution on the sale of San Siro, considers the green light to the new stadium “the final breakage point»After months of growing tensions with the municipal administration.
The escape from Monguzzi from the majority could have even wider consequences for the political balance of Palazzo Marino. The Parliamentary of the Verdi Angelo Bonelli He had already announced “a profound reflection” on the permanence of the party in the junta and in the majority, e The official exit of one of the most representative councilors of the Milanese environmental movement could accelerate a more general detachment process.
The junta shakes
In short, it is a deep crisis for the Sala administration, which goes far beyond the individual defections related to the San Siro case. The junta has in fact already been crippled by the investigations on the urban planning that led to the resignation of two councilors: before Guido BardelliCouncilor for House Dimexosis in March 2025 after some of his private chats had ended up in the prosecutor’s investigation, and subsequently Giancarlo Tancredicouncilor for urban regeneration that left the assignment last July.
Now, with the post-san siro crisis, the majority estate appears increasingly fragile. “No danger for the junta,” he tried to reassure the room, but the facts seem to deny the optimism of the mayor.
The Verdi, through their national leader Bonelli, are evaluating “if the conditions still exist to support the junta”while the Councilor for the Environment Elena Grandi He could be forced to leave the executive as a consequence of the breakdown of his party with the majority. In this case, it prefigures (yet another) reshuffle, on the resignation of the mayor we have now lost hopes.
