Blue trains sold out and it is also with buses from all over Italy that Forza Italia will fill Piazza Matteotti in Naples on Thursday. An “interactive square” and every fan is invited on the web to “book their tile”. For the closing of the European electoral campaign, the leader Antonio Tajani (in the photo) is widely mobilizing every parliamentarian, national and European, every local group, every section, corporation or association. «The climate is positive – assures the Italian secretary to the Giornale -, we are counting on a good result and this is the final sprint. After the demonstration at the sports hall in Rome, Fi returns to the square for a large popular celebration, in the city that Silvio Berlusconi loved so much. It is also a way of remembering him one year after his passing, with a new show of strength.” An impressive participation of all the people of Fi is expected in Naples and on stage next to Tajani there will be the Italian ministers and governors, the group leaders in Rome and Brussels, the candidates for the European Parliament, the party leaders. The event is organized first and foremost by Fulvio Martusciello, president of the MEPs, coordinator in Campania and champion of preferences. If the Ricchi e Poveri sang in Rome, in Naples there could be Gigi d’Alessio with his Neapolitan songs, with other characters from the show. “Surprises” are announced, without specifying.
The party’s center of gravity now seems to have shifted to the south and in the Neapolitan capital Fi could obtain the best result in the European elections, confirming itself as the leading party in the region. In Naples the Azzurri also celebrated two months ago the 30th anniversary of Fi’s victory in the elections of 27 March 1994. And the commitment for Thursday confirms how important the result of this vote is, the first major test of the party without the Cavaliere and under the leadership of Tajani who, also due to his thirty years of experience at the top of EU institutions, has greatly extolled the pro-European slant of Fi and its membership of the EPP. The party is aiming for 10% and all the polls show it close to the target, essentially tied with the League which it could overtake, changing the internal objectives of the centre-right. The Azzurri expect to get 7-9 MEPs. Tajani, head of the list in all constituencies except the islands where Caterina Chinnici leads, will decide who to take over from the second elected members.
In the north the latest polls would give Letizia Moratti, Massimiliano Salini, the SVP candidate linked to Fi, in pole position, in the centre-south Martusciello, Salvatore De Meo, Renata Polverini, in the Chinnici islands and the Sicilians Marco Falcone and Edy Tamajo. Tajani, who is currently expecting a granddaughter, is making his utmost effort and even the governor of Calabria, Roberto Occhiuto, is launching an appeal on social media: “Everyone in Naples”
