It will be a battleship that will accompany Gigi Vicinanza to his candidacy for mayor of Castellammare di Stabia. Twelve, perhaps thirteen lists, in all despite a skimming and merging currently underway. In these hours the war of positions in the civic and political parties of the Vicinanza galaxy is taking place.
THE MERGERS
Some civic lists have already been merged. We are talking about Uniti per Stabia by Massimo de Angelis, which has incorporated part of the list and Ora di Cambiare by Giovanni Tito. Giovanni Nastelli remains the leader of the political formation of the pharmacist from Stabia. Even the former Five Star Movement led by Teresa Manzo had to surrender to the merger with Nino Di Maio’s list.
THE FLAT RATES
It seems that former mayor Nicola Cuomo’s Common Good list will not be present with the symbol. Too few candidates, so Cuomo’s group would join the mayor’s list. Campania Libera should also skip, which was presented to Antonio Coppola by the Deluchians but which probably will not be present with the symbol. Also because Rosario Cuomo, who had the task of forming the list, has a history as a candidate on the center-right lists.
THE WAR OF THE CHOSEN
Such a broad coalition leaves room for internal tensions and a frantic rush to the last vote. There is a lot of competition and even those who can count on vote packages from over 500 preferences can be left out. This is the case of the Democratic Party, where all the big names will be running, starting with Roberto Elefante and ending with Nicola Corrado. But Mario Casillo’s latest move to place Angelo Melisse, Eduardo’s son, alongside Maria Amodio was not a welcome one. Now there is Manfredi’s current which is asking for space on the list, but they risk becoming many “vote donors”, because with such a broad coalition and with the game of remains, the Democratic Party risks winning no more than three seats. Unless Vicinanza breaks through the 60% wall to gain an even larger majority.
