Mimmo Lucano

About

Domenico "Mimmo" Lucano is an Italian former teacher and politician who served as the mayor of Riace between 2004 and 2018 and again since 2024, and was elected a member of the European Parliament in 2024. As a mayor, he attracted international attention for his open migration model. After the first-instance trial had sentenced him 13 years and 2 months in prison, which was controversial and much debated, he was acquitted of most of the charges on appeal, with the judges ruling that his migration management model was not criminal. He was the successful left-wing independent candidate within the Greens and Left Alliance electoral list for the 2024 European Parliament election. Read more
