the participation that will decide everything – Libero Quotidiano

The ministers have also arrived, in the last mile of a party that is becoming the Italian Ohio. Yesterday it was the turn of Francesco Boccia, responsible for regional affairs, then a Dario Franceschini, connecting. All striving to avoid an outcome that could have incalculable consequences. For him P.S, for the majority, for the government. Even if everyone tries to limit it to a local vote, even yesterday Nicola Zingaretti guest of Door to door, everyone knows that the vote in Tuscany will not be a local vote. Because it is a symbol, it is the other edge of the red triangle, although it has not been red for a long time, as the six out of ten capitals that now govern the center-right (Pisa, Arezzo, Pistoia, Grosseto, Massa, Siena) and a center-left. reduced to the regional capital, Florence, the only true point. HE dem toscani They say it without too many words: the “belt of Florence”, plus Empoli, is the only cord that supports the wave Ceccardi, the advance of the center-right. The entire coastline shifts to the right center. And so is the hinterland far from Florence, where the well-being of the past has disappeared for years, the crisis bites, unemployment rises.

And the emergency Covid only compounded this data. Florence resists, yes. “They dream of Florence,” he says in the Democratic Party. Without hiding, however, that the rest of the field is already lost. And who knows how long. The Tuscan elections are also a challenge with an ancient flavor: Florence against all. Or all against Florence. A contrast that sees the “countryside” always suffer the supremacy of the city. And the candidates embody this challenge: Giani He is Florentine and, as the Democratic Party reminds us, there has been no president of the Florentine region for more than ten years. Ceccardi is from Pisa, he is the anti-Florence, the possibility of non-Florentines taking over the capital.

In these hours when polls cannot be published, parliamentarians’ chats are full of polls, analysis, polls. That confirm what was known. It’s a match in ready, nothing is taken for granted. Much, it is said in the Democratic Party, will depend on participation. It is always said, in any election. But this time it is especially true. Because Florence alone weighs a lot in terms of voters. But it depends on how many will vote. And in the last votes there was a progressive in Tuscany disaffection. If participation is less than 45%It is said in the Tuscan Democratic Party, Florence will not be enough. And then there are the candidates. Giani is an old-fashioned politician. He knows all the mayors of Tuscany, one by one, he knows the names of the administrators of the smallest town, he knows inch by inch the ruling class of this region, everyone says about him. But actually, let’s talk about leadership. Not from the people, from people outside the party’s schemes. Giani is an old-fashioned politician. Penalized by Covid, which has obscured it for months. Ceccardi has fewer relationships, but, right now, he’s riding the sentiment of those on the sidelines, those who haven’t been in Florence for years. But that is not necessarily enough. Then there is the internal dispute within the center-left, about who will be to blame in the event of defeat. by Matteo renzi He belongs to the Democratic Party, which was not committed enough, for the Democratic Party he belongs to Renzi, because it was he who elected Giani, he is his man. In any case, despite scaremongering, Nazarenes are confident. Giani will win, a little but he will win, they say.
