When everything seemed to have been defined in Castellammare di Stabia, a few days after the presentation of the lists the parties still found themselves dealing with lists, collections of signatures and failed candidates (as in the case of the centre-right). But let’s go in order.
On the centre-left, the candidacy of Luigi Vicinanza is one of the few fixed points of Stabia politics, after turbulent months. In the end the line imposed by Rome passed, even to the detriment of the local leaders replaced by the regional secretariat because they were not aligned with the choice of mayor decided by the non-Stabiese leaders of the party, it seems to only partially unite the broad field.
Without prejudice to the contribution of civic groups which, at the moment, seem more like semi-empty containers than political movements, the left which refers to Tonino Scala, already candidate for mayor in the last municipal elections, seems to continue not to swallow the method with which the Democratic Party regional and national imposed Mayor Proximity. As well as the 5Setelle. Also because the left and the Grillini had found a different agreement with their democratic ally, the one in which the president of the Stabiese PD Roberto Elefante was the candidate for mayor.
An agreement reached through a political-programmatic confrontation that had developed over time and which had accelerated in the last year. Everything is ready, only to then discover that the PD itself has broken the bank by disavowing the work of the local party, the first, among other things, to create that famous wide field so sought after at a national level.
In the meantime, Vicinanza has found an agreement with Salvatore Vozza who, with his group, has never stopped repeating that we need to reach an agreement on the programs and run together with the centre-left.
In the centre-right, which is dealing with the wounds opened by the early dissolution of the city council, there doesn’t seem to be much clarity. Luigi Bobbio, former parliamentarian and mayor of Castellammare di Stabia, now seems to have passed away and now the name of Loredana Strianese, wife of the patron of the Stabiese Bank, Maurizio Santoro, and former councilor of the Bobbio council, comes to the fore.
To avoid being left off guard, the centre-right is also considering some other names to wink towards the centre, in an attempt to broaden its coalition, especially towards Antonio Coppola. The ASL manager was, in fact, the subject of declarations of appreciation by Forza Italia MP Annarita Patriarca, one of the directors of the centre-right coalition from Stabia.
At the center, however, the grouping of Coppola and Alfano is aiming for an electoral campaign that sees its strong point in belonging to Stabia. The civic group is organizing itself to represent the alternative to the two opposing sides by focusing on the internal resources of the city and its community, without impositions or team orders coming from Rome or Naples. At the moment the centrists would count on an alliance of seven lists that would be ready to challenge the other candidates in the race towards Palazzo Farnese led by an independent leader from Stabia who will aim to have an all-Stabia government team that brings together the best professionalism and energies of Castellammare.
