Ballots, all the results
. Like a wave, the
center-left conquers 8 cities in the runoff out of 10
: it snatches
Rome and Turin from M5s
,
conquers Savona, Cosenza and Isernia at the center-right
, keeps
Caserta
and the former Northern League feud of
Varese
that the Carroccio tried to bring back to the end "at home".
The
center-right resists in Trieste
with the reconfirmation, for the fourth time, of
Roberto Dipiazza
but rejects the definition of "debacle" to analyze the vote. "A triumphal victory", exults the Pd leader Enrico Letta who symbolically crowns the victory of Roberto Gualtieri in Rome in the historic Piazza dell'Ulivo and of Romano Prodi. After an election with unprecedented abstention and a subdued electoral campaign among the candidates but very tense among the national leaders after Forza Nuova's assault on the CGIL, the geography of the great Italian cities is redrawn, now almost all in the hands of the center-left.
But the ballots mark the victory of the progressives even in some very symbolic municipalities for the center-right, such as Cosenza, the city of the new regional president Roberto Occhiuto, Varese, the city of Giorgetti and Maroni, and Latina, where the outgoing Coletta overturned the outcome of the first round and won on the historic former mayor Vincenzo Zaccheo. But the center-right rejects the reading of a losing center-right: "Let's go from 8 to 10: at the moment the center-right has more mayors than 15 days ago", is the first comment by Matteo Salvini who speaks of "mayors elected by a minority of the minority "after" a surreal electoral campaign spent chasing the fascists who are only in school books ". More realistic Giorgia Meloni who admits defeat, but "not the debacle"and blames the delay in the choice of candidates "but not the profile of the candidates" of the center-right. But above all, taking the reins of the center-right, the FDI leader hears Silvio Berlusconi, announces that she will call Salvini for a summit that will relaunch the coalition. The mood of Enrico Letta is quite different. He dismisses as "surreal" the analysis of the vote of the leader of the League and sees success as a reward "for the effort to enlarge the center-left".analysis of the League leader's vote and sees success as a reward "for the effort to enlarge the center-left".analysis of the League leader's vote and sees success as a reward "for the effort to enlarge the center-left".
"
I have always learned that the most important thing is to listen to the voters
. And they are ahead of us, they have merged and merged, those of the center-left and of the broad coalition that I wanted to build. With a triumphal victory", underlined the secretary of the Democratic Party,
Enrico Letta
, commenting on the outcome of the vote, to the Nazarene.
For the leader of the League,
Matteo Salvini
, "if one is elected by a minority of the minority it is a problem not for a party, but for democracy".
"Center-right comes out defeated in the administrative offices: we can't snatch the big cities from the center-left - commented the leader of the Brothers of Italy,
Giorgia Meloni
-. But from defeat to debacle, it's excessive. Debacle belongs to the M5s, the Democratic Party is celebrating on the remains of the Grillini allies ".
"Great satisfaction, the results of the projections are confirming the perceptions we had.
The united center-left wins almost everywhere,
" said
Francesco Boccia
, head of local authorities of the Democratic Party.
TURIN
- "I don't deny emotion. I dedicate this victory to a person who for me was a teacher, a father, a guide, Don Aldo Rabino". These were the first words of
