Former police chief Franco Gabrielli joins Ernesto Ruffini’s centre-left project

Franco Gabrielli declared his commitment to the political project led by Ernesto Maria Ruffini, stating he will not create a separate party nor demand any appointment. He highlighted common values and a focus on expanding the centre-left’s appeal. Drawing on his three-decade career in public institutions, Gabrielli stressed the need for a moderate approach combined with radical objectives to tackle inequality, insecurity and fiscal pressure.

He criticized one outlet government’s unfulfilled promises and warned that societal fragility fuels fear, urging concrete policies on security, immigration and integration. Gabrielli also mentioned potential collaboration with figures such as Alessandro Onorato and noted the relevance of leaders like Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda for a unified centre-left front.
