Due to a clerical error in the documentation presented, the Cagliari District Electoral Commission had excluded the “Let's wake up Pula Toccori Mayor” list from the possibility of running for the next municipal elections scheduled for 12 June. Now, however, the decision of the Tar Sardinia , second section has arrived, which has readmitted all the candidates, including the leaders.
So in Pula the challenge to become the new mayor will be three: Ilaria Collu, Francesca Toccori and Walter Cabasino.
The stop was given because in the part of the form reserved for the authentication of the signatures of the declarations of acceptance of the candidacy for the office of municipal councilor, the details of the identification document of the authenticating public official had been reported (Toccori herself, in her capacity as city councilor) and not of the candidate.
The administrative judges, referring to the jurisprudence of the Council of State, considered that " the real identity of the subscribers was ascertained by the authenticator , noting in this sense, first of all, that the authentication was affixed at the bottom of the declarations of acceptance of the subscriber's candidacy for municipal councilor, whose details are reported in the declaration that precedes the authentication on the same sheet for each declaration ". Furthermore, the TAR underlined that "the small size of the Municipality of Pula, in itself, leads to the direct knowledge of the subscribers by the authenticator". As well as "the circumstance for which the authenticator, in his capacity as municipal councilor, is also the candidate for mayor of the Municipality of Pula connected to the 'Risvegliamo Pula Toccori Mayor' list, in which the signatories of the declarations agreed to apply, resulting in therefore, the assumption of responsibility of the authenticator with respect to the identification of the signatories of the declarations of acceptance of the candidacy in the same list is further supported ".
