Who are the candidates
The first to make the candidacy official was Antonio Tajani himself, last April 20th. “I am running for the European elections because, in this phase, whoever is elected secretary has the duty to put himself at the head of his party comrades. If the soldiers have not left the trenches, not even the lieutenant leaves the trench”, said the May 1st, introducing the entire FI team. As mentioned, Tajani is the first name in four of the five constituencies. For insular Italy there is Caterina Chinnici – former candidate for the Sicilian Region with the Democratic Party – outgoing MEP. Among the names that stand out in the lists, there is also that of Letizia Moratti, former mayor of Milan and vice president of the Lombardy Region.
