Ravenna was in an account, but Genoa not so much. And in fact it was the Ligurian city that gave the figure of the electoral round. Also because, among the four capitals to the vote, he was the only one back from a center -right junta and the only one in which both coalitions presented themselves united. Thus, the victory of the candidate of the Largo Silvia Salis field already in the first round has started the celebrations of the parties that oppose the government of Giorgia Meloni. The gaze is to the policies of 2027.
The center -left therefore confirmed himself at the helm of Ravenna, returned to the government in Genoa and is ahead of Matera and Taranto, who go to the ballot. “It is now clear – commented the secretary PD Elly Schlein – The center -right rejoices for the polls, we win the elections “. But the government parties aim for the comeback in the second round.” It is an administrative round to which it is unlikely to try to give a national reading – it was the reply of the organization manager of Fdi Giovanni Donzelli – the center -right grows and continues to prevail widely “.
Ansa agency City, regions and provinces, the map of power in Italy – News – Ansa.it Large municipalities to the center -left, small centers and regions at the center -right (ANSA) He held the turnout: in the 126 municipalities to the vote, the average percentage was 56.29%, against 56.32% of the previous round. A figure that political forces have interrogated in search of signals for the referendums of 8 and 9 June on work and citizenship, which will be valid only if 50% of the voters will vote. “It bodes well,” said Riccardo Magi, secretary of Più Europe and the promoting committee of the question about citizenship. To bare still to be completed, the results of the capitals were outlined: in Genoa Salis permanently above 50%, against 43% of Pietro Piciocchi, of the center -right.
TO Ravenna the center -left candidate Alessandro Barattoni over 58%against 24% of Nicola Grandi, who runs with Fdi and Fi, while the League is with Alvaro Ancisi, stopped at 6%.
TO Taranto will go to the ballot Piero Bitettisupported by Pd and Avs, which is well over 35%: to challenge it will be either Luca Lazzaro, supported by Fdi and Fi, or the civic Francesco Tacento (who has supporters in the League), both above 20%. TO Materathe regional councilor Pd Roberto Cifarelli is very above 40%, while Antonio Nicoletti, who is supported by Fdi and Fi, is 37%. “Two extraordinary victories in the first round in Genoa and Ravenna, with Silvia Salis and Alessandro Barattoni – said Schlein – with the Democratic Party growing up by 8 points compared to the last elections and is the first party”.
The match between the opposition returns to play on the size of the wide field. Not surprisingly, the president of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte, focused on the civic profile of the new mayor of Genoa Salis: “His victory is the demonstration that projects born from below and inclusive of the proposals of civil society are perceived by citizens as trusted meritori”. While Schlein reiterated: “Being strictly unitary is not a thesis or a political debate, but an objective fact: united you win”.
This time it was not like that everywhere: the coalition presented itself in full in Genoa and Ravenna, while the M5S went alone (without reaching the ballots) in Taranto, with Annagrazia Angolano, EA Matera, with the outgoing mayor Domenico Bennardi. The president of IV Matteo Renzi took advantage of it for a stocked to Conte: “If the center -left does not put the vessels, it happens that he wins,” he said referring to the October vote, when the M5S did not want to coalition in the governor’s challenge, then won on the thread by the center -right candidate Marco Bucci against that of the center -left Andrea Orlando. Timally unitary declaration also by the secretary of action, Carlo Calenda: “When reformists, concrete and competent candidates present themselves, the consent comes”. The leaders of Avs, Nicola Fratoianni and Angelo Bonelli, already look at the policies: “The right can be beaten, Giorgia Meloni is a minority in the country. We, who are stubbornly unitary, we will continue to beat us so that after Genoa Italy can soon be free”.
