The big names of centre-righttonight, they closed the election campaign for Vito Bardi, in Potenza, in view of the vote for the election of the president of the Basilicata Region. Today the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini spoke.
The centre-right expects an “extraordinary” result, according to the forecasts made by the leaders in the final rally in support of Vito Bardi, the governor seeking reconfirmation. He himself thinks “of exceeding 50%”.
To achieve the objective, the coalition has expanded its scope to Action. «The demonstration of Bardi’s good governance lies in the many lists that support him. The borders are widening, the real wide field is the centre-right”, the thesis of Antonio Tajani, on the eve of a test also towards the European Championships, where the leader of Forza Italia is ready to run in four constituencies. Meloni should run in all of them, but the issue is not officially resolved.
However, the campaign has already started and is intertwined with that of the various local electoral events, in a continuous long-distance confrontation with the centre-left, with references to a “Europe to change”.
The Lucanian challenge also becomes a national testing ground. «The banana republic is over“, the expression dusted off by that of FdI to claim work on security, on “friendly taxation” and to reject what it considers “shameless falsehoods” on prison for journalists and law 194 on abortion. «In a year and a half this government has produced much more than left-wing governments put together with scotch tape have done in an entire legislature“, the claim of the prime minister, who expects a check on “consensus and enthusiasm” from Basilicata. And from Potenza he accuses his rivals of “sympathizing more with those who attack” the police forces outside the universities than with the agents. Or to exploit the controversies over Autonomy.
“Imagine if I, who believe in a united Italy more than anything else, leave half of Italy behind”, he raises his voice from the stage, underlining that the reform gives to the South “the empowerment of its ruling class, and it is something that is needed”.
