Municipal elections, decisive hours for the center-left coalition in Sassari and Alghero

Decisive hours for the broad center-left camp in Sassari and Alghero in view of the municipal elections of 8 and 9 June: The decision on the names of the mayoral candidates continues to be postponed day by day.

The final summit, initially scheduled for yesterday, was held in Sassari postponed by at least 48 hoursat the request of the Democratic Party, stuck in the choice between the names of the current provincial secretary and municipal councilor, Giuseppe Masciaand that of the former mayor and former president of the regional council, Gianfranco Ganau. The other parties in the coalition are pressing the deadlines, indicating between the lines their approval for Mascia: «We are worried about the delay with which the candidatures are being defined. While recognizing the PD’s responsibility to put forward its own candidacy proposal, we think we should take into account the clear signals coming from civil society regarding the need to express leadership inspired by the principles of renewal, change and inclusiveness”, they write in a note. signed by the acronyms Demos, Fortza Paris, Progressisti, Psi, Sinistra futuro. «Having deemed it appropriate at your request to postpone the discussion and decision on the candidatures for mayor until Monday 15th, once this deadline has expired, we ask that a meeting be set as early as tomorrow, otherwise we will consider ourselves legitimized to put forward and decide on proposals».

In this scenario, the Constituent movement for Sassari could take off, which has long indicated the former magistrate Mariano Brianda, defeated 5 years ago in the run-off by Nanni Campus, as its candidate for mayor.

Everything is also to be decided in Alghero, where a coalition summit is underway, also including Italia Viva, and where at the moment Raimondo Cacciotto’s candidacy remains standing, proposed by Avs, but also looms over the hypothesis of an entry of the Reformers with Francesco Marinaro and the other dissidents of the centre-right.
