here are the 14 candidates for the European elections in our region

ANCONA Les jeux sont faits. Today the deadlines for submitting candidate lists for the European elections expire and the parties have now lined up their teams. Just a few details are missing to start the game, but the main symbols already have their names associated with them and a patrol of 14 aspiring European parliamentarians. Daredevils who try to subvert the laws of statistics by trying to get elected in a consultation which, to put it mildly, is not in our favour. For exactly 20 years no member of the Marche region has been able to sit on the golden seats of Brussels. But hope is the last to die.

Tops and flops

Among those who believe it – with some reason – there is Carlo Ciccioli, regional councilor pushed by the wind at the stern of the Fratelli d’Italia battleship. And with the candidacy of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni leading the list everywhere, the push is even stronger. The former regional group leader may have a chance. For everyone else, the road is uphill to say the least. The first from the Marche to take the field as a candidate was the deputy of the League Mirco Carloni, with his wealth of personal votes but in a round like that of the European elections in which the shock wave of the peers makes the difference, he is not among the favourites.

The teams

The same goes for the other Northern League candidate Anna Menghi, regional councilor and former mayor of Macerata, who in recent hours has made her entry into the field official. Then there is the former regional councilor and businesswoman from Fermano Graziella Ciriaci, who accepted Forza Italia’s invitation to run in Brussels. Lega and Fi who will also engage in an entirely internal challenge to obtain second place in the center-right behind FdI. In the other half of the field, the Democratic Party fields three people from the Marche: the former deputy Alessia Morani, the outgoing mayor of Pesaro Matteo Ricci and the tricolor band from Arquata del Tronto Michele Franchi, who joined the group last minute. The 5 Star Movement, for the call to the polls on 8 and 9 June, has instead focused on two former parliamentarians: Mirella Emiliozzi and Sergio Romagnoli. The list ends with the parties fighting to overcome the 4% threshold set in the European elections. Running with Azione di Carlo Calenda are the outgoing mayor of Fano Massimo Seri, the secretary of Fermo Germano Craia, and the former regional councilor of the PDL and now consultant to the governor Francesco Acquaroli on the subject of the Adriatic-Ionian Macroregion, Umberto Trenta. The Green and Left Alliance finally relies on Pergola councilor Sabrina Santelli and Agnese Santarelli. A large patrol of suicide bombers who dream of a place in Europe. One in a thousand (maybe) makes it.
