A three-way race is expected for the next regional elections in Lombardy.
For the Pirellone the outgoing governor Lorenzo Fontana
could challenge each other next year
for the center-right;
the resigning former
vice president Letizia Moratti
, supported by the Third Pole;
and
the economist Carlo Cottarelli
on whom the attention of the Democratic Party would be concentrating, who is also working on a shortlist of candidates for Lazio.
Pd, Cottarelli hypothesis in Lombardy, pink names for Lazio
Carlo Cottarelli could be the Pd candidate for Lombardy, while it is excluded that Letizia Moratti could be.
This is the reasoning that is done in Pd environments.
For Lazio there is skepticism about Conte's desire to find an agreement: a response from him is expected for today.
"In any case - it is reported - we will go our own way" or with a candidate indicated by the Democratic Party or with the primaries, which are not excluded even for Lombardy.
Among the names that are taken into consideration for Lazio, those of the regional councilors Alessio d'Amato and Daniele Leodori, as well as Enrico Gasbarra or a civic.
Ronzulli: Fontana is the candidate of the so-called right
In Lombardy "Attilio Fontana will be the candidate of the center-right".
This was stated by the Lombard coordinator and president of the Forza Italia group in the Senate, Licia Ronzulli, on the sidelines of the press conference for the presentation of the new regional councilor for Welfare Guido Bertolaso.
After Letizia Moratti's candidacy with the Third pole "there is enough regret" since in the center-right "she has had a lot and held various positions. She has always worked well but in this case there is a bit of regret for the choice of run with a line-up that is currently positioned on the left with two leaders coming from the Democratic Party ".
The Lombard coordinator of Forza Italia said.
On the reasons that led her to resign "
you should ask her - he added - perhaps due to a lack of candidacy for the presidency but this does not mean that there have been unfulfilled promises.
I cannot know, in the interview between Fontana and Moratti I was not there ". Moratti" was not in Fi quota "even though she was" when she was mayor of Milan and minister ". At Pirellone she was chosen" by the Region and by Fontana as a representative of the center-right but at this moment he is on the other side of the river ". And anyway" I don't think Moratti has resigned "in contrast to the directives for novax issued by the government." I think the motivation is quite instrumental - he continued - then I agree on vaccines.
Fi's position has always been clear and I believe history is proving us right. "

Moratti, this right builds only fences
"The center-right no longer exists. We have also seen this with the first measures of the government. This is a right that, by dint of building walls, closes us all in a fence."
So Letizia Moratti talks about the choice to apply in Lombardy with the Terzo Polo in an interview with La Repubblica.
"We need a new approach, an innovative synthesis between reformism and pragmatism - he continues -. I also address the Democratic Party and all the other political forces that want to interpret this new phase of change. We need a new, more secular approach, a synthesis innovative between reformism and pragmatism ".
