If they had been tests for the launch of a spacecraft into space, a critical message would have arrived in Houston. The Cosenza Democratic Party continues to have problems with the polls and the growth seen at a national level during the last European elections did not lead to an encouraging result in Calabria. Particularly in the north of the region, historically a basin of votes and a hotbed of leaders. Compared to the 24.11% celebrated by Elly Schlein, from the Pollino to the Strait it did not go beyond 15.88%. This is the worst percentage in the entire Southern District. Even Molise and Abruzzo brought home better data, which cannot fail to worry the senator Nicola Irto.
Circumscribing the field to the vast Bruzia areathe numbers drop even further to 14.21%more or less in line with the policies of 2022. No growth, despite the Federation managed by the secretary Vittorio Pecoraro the ritual thanks went out to members, militants and those who didn’t make it: in this case Jasmine Crystal (by the skin of your teeth) Luigi Tassone.
There is no shortage of admission of responsibility. «Our result is not free from critical issues that will need to be addressed and analyzed – say the democrats -. It seems clear that we are far from the percentages obtained in other areas of the South such as Puglia or Campania and that here, the 5 Star Movement continues to be the main force.” Not only this however, because throughout the province the Democratic Party has suffered attrition on both sides.
On the left, the exponential growth of Adv that he had in Maria Pia Funaro, former deputy mayor of Cosenza of the Democratic Party, a pawn who capitalized on her popularity in the more progressive areas of the Bruzio capital. Just under 2 thousand votes for her Cosenza, Rende and Castrolibero and 5 thousand in the province. From the right the major blows were inflicted by United States of Europe with the exploit of Filomena Greco: 1900 votes in the “future” single city and more than 12 thousand in the province to mitigate the socialist flop. Not to mention the weight of Action which has in Giuseppe Aieta its new exponent. These are figures in the past all linked, some more or less, to the world of democrats.
«There was no candidate attributable to the province of Cosenza» they object to the complaint from the Federation, which has seen for the umpteenth time a jagged electoral campaign. Each area turned to the national representative of reference. The constant have been Lucia Annunziata And Antonio De Caro following indications from Rome, the famous currents then took different paths.
Carlo Guccione, Giuseppe Mazzuca And Salvatore Giorno they accompanied each other to Sandro Ruotolo, who became an MEP with 110 thousand preferences. Its result in the province was positive, slightly higher than that of Pina Picierno who counted on the support of Nicola Adamo and Enza Bruno Bossio. The regional councilors are more neutral Franco Iacucci And Mimmo Bevacqua who did not indicate any third parties other than the former Rai presenter and the mayor of Bari.
The analysis of the Federation of the Democratic Party of Cosenza tries to put some patches. «We achieved above average results, as in Cosenza (18.65%), Rende (17.69%), Castrovillari (17.52%), Acri (19.84%), Paola (19.28%), Amantea (17.84%) , Casali del Manco (24.01%), Luzzi (21.49%) and Belvedere Marittimo (21.34%). We also welcome very significant results in smaller municipalities such as Aiello Calabro (46.4%), Mormanno (29.73%), Spezzano Sila (33.72%), Longobucco (25.36%) and Rocca Imperiale (35 .06%). It is clear – they say – that the presence of club structures and a solid presence of administrators allow us to be the leading force in many municipalities, rewarding work in the territories. On the contrary, in several municipalities where there are no clubs or where these are no longer active, we encountered some difficulties». In this regard, the data is devastating Corigliano Rossano where the PD struggled to even reach 9% despite the triumph of Flavio Stasi.
