The decisive summit between the centre-right forces to decide the fate of the coalition in the capital and possibly identify the unitary candidate should be held this evening, but a further postponement is not excluded. In reality, the conditions for arriving at a synthesis will hardly be determined.
The face-to-face meeting between Ines Fruncillo and Rino Genovese that should have resolved the issues was not held and will not be held, for the provincial President of Fratelli d’Italia the name of the Rai journalist has no longer been on the table for at least a month, therefore there is no evaluation to be done. The Flame is not willing to give in on the civic solution, it is not willing to give up the symbol and a proposal for change for the city with an identity traction, although capable of expressing a broad proposal of representation, of attracting consensus from the civic bloc which belonged to Gianluca Festa but without giving in to the temptation to take anyone on board.
Genovese, this is the reasoning of the leaders of the Brothers of Italy, is no longer an option from the moment he said he was unavailable, with a document delivered to the press, to be the candidate of a political coalition. And on the other hand, that document was followed by further declarations to this effect, even a passage to the public meeting called by Avellino Prende Parte. After that, the priority is to obtain the best possible result in the European elections – Fruncillo’s candidacy goes precisely in this direction – and compete in the city with a recognizable proposal and a reliable ruling class for the future of the party in the capital.
But there is one more point that explains the reasons why the events of the last few days have strengthened the identity line of the Brothers of Italy. With Gianluca Festa under house arrest, the civic bloc that has governed Palazzo di Città for these five years has definitively dissolved and is not written anywhere, regardless of what regional councilor Petitto decides to do, which all the references coming from that world are unavailable to find shelter in the shadow of the Flame. Ines Fruncillo’s bet is precisely this: to remain faithful to the line shared with Rome, confirm the symbol at all costs, try to broaden by capitalizing on the hegemony of the Brothers of Italy on a general level, balance the two dimensions of the vote, European and administrative .
In the same way, the Genoese hypothesis at the head of a civic bloc remains the preferred solution for the Honorable Rotondi, for Angelo Antonio D’Agostino and for Forza Italia, therefore, until proven otherwise, also for the League. And it is the only solution that Genovese could accept to take the field, the most useful solution also for D’Agostino from a European perspective, the solution that Rotondi has been pushing for for over a year. Evidently, the role that Petitto should play is strategic, as he is a bridge-builder who could guarantee a good part of the outgoing majority.
In all likelihood, therefore, the center-right will be split in the capital. On the one hand, Brothers of Italy with a recognizable proposal and a flagship candidate, in pole position are Iandoli and De Conciliis, on the other hand, the civic bloc led by Genovese with the support of Lega and Forza Italia. A rupture that will inevitably polarize the clash between Fruncillo and D’Agostino.
In this context, and we conclude, it is very difficult to try to make sense of the statements of the regional coordinator of Forza Italia Fulvio Martusciello. Who, on Thursday, gave the agencies a few lines to place a loud veto on the name of Cosimo Sibilia as a possible candidate for the tricolor armband, to say he was certain that with Festa’s arrest and the end of that experience finally the capital will be able to turn the page by rewarding and announcing that Forza Italia will make its name.
Now, net of any consideration on the tones used by Martusciello to attack Cosimo Sibilia, who by listing incontrovertible facts responded firmly and punctually by ridiculing him, it is clear that with those few lines the regional coordinator of Forza Italia, who is also seeking reconfirmation in Europe , has in fact bypassed the provincial management group, announced a party candidature, launched his takeover bid on the city in an electoral key thanks to the support of the mayor of Chiusano. When they say genius.
