Scicli: Noi Moderati office vandalised as local political figures condemn attack
Unknown persons shattered the entrance glass of Noi Moderati's Scicli office; the party, the mayor and a mayoral candidate condemned the act, with no motive established.
The glass entrance door of the Scicli office of the political party Noi Moderati, on via Fiumillo, was found shattered in the morning, according to Radio RTM and Giornale Ibleo, whose reports are dated 4 October 2026. Ragusa Oggi, publishing the same day, reports that unknown persons targeted the office the previous night. The reports state that no authors and no motive were known. The party's representatives said in an official note that they had found the entrance damaged, and Giornale Ibleo reports that Noi Moderati Scicli also issued a note on social media expressing its indignation.
In that note, Radio RTM reports, the party said it firmly condemned what it described as an unworthy act that did not belong to the identity of the city of Scicli. The party added that its members were incredulous and without words, expressing profound bitterness alongside what it characterised as a serious resolve to continue its path.
La Sicilia — Ragusa reports that the mayor of Scicli, Mario Marino, expressed solidarity with the party's representatives on behalf of the city community, defining the incident as a grave act that would have nothing to do with the tradition of respect and civil coexistence that characterises Scicli.
Radio RTM reports that Guglielmo Scimonello, a candidate for mayor of Scicli, condemned the episode and expressed total solidarity with the party's leaders, members and political community, describing party offices as fundamental outposts of democratic participation, freedom of thought and civil debate that merit respect irrespective of different sensibilities and affiliations. The supplied extract of his statement is truncated at that point.
Ragusa Oggi reports that the party's representatives, identified by that outlet as led by Guglielmo Cartia, described the episode as a genuine act of vandalism that would exclude any political motive, and its headline asks whether only vandals were involved; that question appears in the headline and is not attributed in the supplied article body to any source. The reports do not mention any arrests or investigative steps. The supplied material gives no date for the municipal election in which Scimonello is standing, and the reports state that neither the authors nor the motive of the act were known.
