Overview
- Vincenzo Napoli formally filed his resignation on January 16, which by law becomes irrevocable after 20 days.
- The resignation immediately ended his post as president of the Province of Salerno, with Giovanni Guzzo to serve as regent.
- Once the resignation takes effect, the city council will be dissolved and the prefect is set to appoint a commissioner, making a May–June election window likely.
- Vincenzo De Luca has signaled a rapid return to local politics, emphasizing public order and proposing specialized municipal police units with monthly pay incentives.
- Center-right leaders allege the resignation was engineered to favor De Luca, a claim Napoli denies as false.
