The arrests for exchanging votes, the suspected mafia infiltrations and the heated political clashes and earthquakes in the municipal administration of Bari do not seem to have affected the consensus of the center-left in Bari. Or at least that’s what the results of a recent survey seem to say. Just under a month from the municipal elections in the Apulian capital, with the mayor dem Antonio Decaro ready to run for the European Championships, the centre-left split is after you. While the centre-right united he has to chase. This is what emerges from the survey carried out by Yoodata on May 13th and published on the Instagram page Voting intentions.

To the question “which candidate for mayor of Bari will you vote for?”, the 34%-38% replied Michele Laforgia, the candidate of the 5 Star Movement, Sinistra Italiana, Psi, +Europa, Italia Viva and left-wing civic lists. Just one percentage point away (33%-37%) Vito Leccese, the candidate of the Democratic Party, Greens and civic and left-wing lists. Behind them, however, Fabio Romito (26%-30%) supported by the compact centre-right: Fratelli d’Italia, Lega, Forza Italia, Noi Moderati, UDC and right-wing civic lists. While the candidate of civic lists Sabino Mangano with a threshold between 0% and 2%. AND undecided or does not know how to give voting instructions, instead, the 17%.

Then the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosion March 19th, decided to start the process to verify the hypothesis of dissolution of the Apulian capital. A move that Decaro defined as “an act of war” And “sabotage of democratic life”.
