Ancona, Sept. 29 (LaPresse) – "Thank you all. This has been a challenge to address unresolved issues. We started this journey five years ago and we will continue."

This was Francesco Acquaroli's first comment at his campaign headquarters after being re-elected.

"Thanks to the energy of civil society, which has grown compared to five years ago. Thanks to the entire Government, which over these years has listened to the Marche Region and stood by our territories. Our goal is to bring the Marche region back — as we have already begun to do — among the most developed regions in Europe."

On the work ahead: "We are determined to continue with our efforts and reforms. We will work on the critical issues, on the territories, on the earthquake- and flood-affected areas."

As for healthcare: "We are working at the local level and are ready to provide more answers."

He then thanked "the mayors and the intermediary bodies, the people of Marche, and my loved ones."
