Ernesta Zucco's candidacy for the Cuneo provincial election
Date of the event:
On 4 November 2026 the Cuneo provincial coordination of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra (AVS) announces the candidacy of Ernesta Zucco, mayor of Trinità, on the joint centre-left list for the Cuneo provincial election. The candidacy is presented as AVS's independent contribution to the coalition's shared path [1].
The announcement
The provincial coordination says it welcomes "with satisfaction" the finalising of the centre-left list, in which it takes part under Zucco's name. According to its promoters, the mayor brings to the coalition her administrative experience gained in Trinità and a vision for the province described as "fairer, more inclusive and more attentive to its territories" [1].
The issues raised by AVS
The coordination identifies three areas that will guide the candidate's and the group's work within the list: social policy and education, with particular attention to combating illegal labour brokering (caporalato) and protecting decent work; the relationship between the plains and the mountains, to be addressed through an equal dialogue and policies that give value to the ecosystem services of mountain areas; rights and the environment, with attention to the right to mobility and to curbing land consumption, which the coordination calls "particularly worrying" in the Province of Cuneo [1].
AVS's position in the coalition
AVS stresses that Zucco's presence strengthens the pluralist and progressive character of the joint list. The coordination announces its support for the whole centre-left coalition, arguing that only a united front able to engage with the territories can address the open issues in the Province of Cuneo [1].
