Administrative, Meloni: “The center-right confirms its strength”. Third Pole, the Grupponi case breaks out

First mayor seats decided and post-vote reflections arrive. The premier Giorgia Meloni he doesn’t hide his enthusiasm: «I send my best wishes to all the mayors elected in the first round of local elections. The centre-right confirms its strength as a government coalition, the value of stability and clarity vis-à-vis the Italians». the national manager of the organization of Fratelli d’Italia, John Donzelli, nips the Schlein effect: «It seems to me that it really isn’t there. We saw it at regionals as we see it today. Just as it doesn’t seem to me that the alliance or otherwise with the 5-star movement matters much in this type of election – he continues -. Both because by now they have very similar lines and they wage war with each other, and because Conte’s party always pays for a poor structure on the territory”. On the victory of the center-left in Brescia, with the candidate Laura Castelletti, Donzelli says: “They were outgoing, it seems to me a result in line with expectations.

Less calm waters in the Third Pole, due to the alleged passage of the deputy Naike Piattini from Action to Italia Viva. Charles Calenda he entrusts his comment to social media: «We learned this morning from a newspaper about this theft. All the best to Naike. Every choice is legitimate and respectable. Let me just note that, out of respect for the community that elected you six months ago almost without knowing you, a prior communication would have been more elegant. But I guess the surprise exit was part of the deal. This story, otherwise irrelevant, well explains the distance in behavior with Matteo Renzi. While we were busy traveling around Italy supporting the lists, often made together, for the administration he was busy with these matters. Good road”. Punctual reply by Matthew Renzi: «Everyone should take the steps they want to take. If necessary, I’m also ready to take a run … we will never say what Calenda or Richetti should do … but someone should ask themselves questions if there are those who leave a party because they were disappointed ». And then he adds: “There are no personal needs to kill the Third Pole project”.

«It won’t be easy, but the comeback of the centre-left is starting to be possible. It is undeniable, the centre-right takes many cities, but be careful. There are symbolic territories and places, such as Brescia, where the mass descent of the three leaders of the hundred-right, who wanted to give a push to a coalition that, however, resists, was not served. An important signal and Salvini knows it well. Yesterday Udine, today Brescia, tomorrow Ancona, Vicenza and Siena. It will be a demanding job but if based on a serious political proposal, it can give results”. The PSI secretary wrote in a post, Enzo Maraiocommenting on the administrations.

“The Democratic Party holds but that without a political proposal capable of keeping all souls inside, including the reformist one, it cannot be successful”, he commented Rosa Maria DiGiorgi, candidate in the Pd primaries for Florence. “Elly Schlein must be acknowledged for having kept the party on track in a difficult phase and after a heavy electoral defeat, but the verdict of the polls is clear: the left-wing Pd is unable to break through”
