Government

The city government has been dominated by the Partito Popolare Cisamarrese since independence in 1671, with the party winning an absolute majority of seats in the Consigljo Municipale in every election. The party is mainly supported by the majority Cisamarrese population. Other major parties in 1680 are the United Nationalist Alliance and Coalition 1660. The city administration is also marred with corruption and cronyism stemming from pre-independence.
