MUNICIPALITIES – The turnout in yesterday’s administrative elections in Italy was 54.72%, according to the final data relating to the 818 municipalities managed by the Interior Ministry. In the previous homologous elections it was 60.12% ..
THE REFERENDUMS – The overall turnout for referendums is around 20%. It can be seen from the website of the Ministry of the Interior.
“It is very serious that in Palermo, without prior notice, a large number of polling presidents did not appear for the inauguration, or renounced their office, delaying the start of the voting operations. Such an attitude expresses an absolute lack of respect for the institutions and for the citizens called on this electoral and referendum day to exercise a fundamental constitutional right for the democratic life of the country “, declared the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese.
AFFLUENCE TO MINIMUMS, FLOP REFERENDUM
For the referendums on Justice and the abolition of the Severino law, this is nothing. The figure recorded on the turnout at 7 pm, equal to 14 per cent of those entitled to vote (based on the data of the Interior Ministry which concern 7,604 municipalities out of 7,903) does not leave many glimmers on the achievement of the required quorum (50% + 1). The Radicals and the League fought in a tough referendum campaign on the five questions, repeatedly denouncing the silence of the media. How much the low turnout contributed is difficult to establish, but it is enough to compare with the referendum of 7 April 2016 on drills, which had a turnout of 23.54% at 19, and then did not even reach 33% at the close of the polls, to get a picture of what will happen with the questions about justice. A picture so clear that it is almost superfluous to consider the need to wait for the first exit polls conducted out of the polling stations to realize, well before the closing of the polls, that the objective of those who intended to introduce a series of changes in the field of the judiciary and administration of justice was not centered. A fact that, moreover, unites this referendum to the referendums that have taken place in Italy in the last decade or so. But after all, the flop seemed to have been announced for days. And feared by all those who pushed the 5 questions to the end. The referendum was inserted in the context of an election day, at the same time as the administrative elections in 975 municipalities, including the greater Palermo, where the problems for the establishment of seats and the start of voting were not few, due to the forfeits of tellers and polling officers.
LEAGUE, WE WILL WIN ELECTIONS AND REFORM JUSTICE
“The battle to change Justice does not stop this evening, but rather starts again with renewed enthusiasm: it will be the center-right (together with courageous friends such as those of the Radical Party) to have the burden and the honor, after winning the next Political elections, to put their hand to the system “. A note from the League reads. “Thanks to the millions of Italians who voted for the referendum on justice: their voice is a commitment for everyone to make real and profound reforms. They deserve gratitude because they have chosen to speak out despite a shameful media silence (starting with state TV), the chaos in too many seats starting from the Palermo scandal, the cowardice of so many politicians. Thanks to those who informed and participated, to the governors lined up on the front line together with local administrators – of all political colors – and to many parliamentarians. All without forgetting women and men of law, cultural and intellectual associations “, concludes the note.
