In Florence, for example, you wait longer in the Parterre to redo the electoral card (even 30 minutes yesterday morning) than in the polling stations, where the Civil Protection organization and the volunteers for sanitation and service “skip the line “for the most fragile it worked. With the surprise that the elders did not desert the polls at all. At least in the big cities. And the consequence that occurred was a fairly high turnout, despite yesterday’s fears: at 7 pm yesterday, 36.29% of voters, 1,084,000 people, had voted in the regional elections. This figure is higher than the national average, close to 30%. And even more than the poll at the same time as 5 years ago, in the 2015 regionals, when, in addition, we voted in a single day: this time more than 36.2%, then 35.4%.
In Tuscany, the turnout at 11 p.m. yesterday was 48.29 percent.
But it is the data in the data that makes the analysis more interesting: it is in Florence that participation, at least until 7 pm, was flying yesterday. In the province it reached 39.6%, with peaks above 40 in Bagno a Ripoli, Pontassieve, Sesto and Scandicci. And above all it is in Florence, a city that has risen very high, more than 49%.What does it mean? The hope of the Democrats is that these numbers represent the sign of a massive mobilization of the people of the center-left in support of Giani to “oust” the League. And the proof, according to the Democratic Party, would be precisely in the maximum participation in the vote in the “strong” of the Democratic Party, the area where the center-left in recent years is showing to keep its treasure. Also for the participation in
other historically “red” areas The sensations that filtered through from the surroundings last night were positive: high participation in Prato (39%), in the old capitals of Arezzo Pei Cavriglia and San Giovanni Valdarno (about 40%), and also in Siena (39) and in Siena . In Livorno alone, among the red bastions of Tuscany, participation did not break through and stopped at 32% at 7pm (34% in the city). By contrast, in the white areas of Tuscany, closer to the center-right, the lowest share: Lucca 32.9%, Grosseto 33.6%. And even in the provinces of Massa and Pistoia, which in 2019 gave the Lega success, lands where this time Ceccardi hopes to part with the Democratic Party, the participation was not very high: Massa 30%, Pistoia 35%. In Pisa, on the other hand, the participation is quite high, 37%, although it does not increase, and this was considered positive yesterday in the circles of the Northern League.How is it going to end? Will Giani stay with Tuscany or will Ceccardi scrape it off and the red history of the region will shake the Pd and the government in one fell swoop? In the afternoon it will be discovered why the polls are also open today, from 7 to 15. But all the confidential forecasts that circulated last night between the parties spoke of a face to face between the League and the Democratic Party, also counting the fears of the Alternative left by Tommaso Fattori and Irene Galletti’s 5 Stelle. Those who hope not to be crushed by the polarization of the consensus and the calls for a “useful vote” that have occurred in these hours.
“Historic day,” Ceccardi said yesterday as he left the electoral college.
“Important vote” also according to Giani. For the candidate of the Communist Party Salvatore Catello “bad organization”. Also at 19 yesterday, the turnout in Tuscany for the constitutional referendum on the cut of parliamentarians was 38.17%, higher than the regional ones (but the audience of the incumbents is different: 140 thousand more in the regionals than in the referendum , where those registered in the Air registry are not counted). In the 8 Tuscan municipalities called to renew the municipal and mayor councils – Arezzo, Viareggio, Coreglia Alteminelli and Sillano Giuncugnano in the province of Lucca, Villafranca Lunigiana (Massa Carrara), Cascina and Orciano Pisano (Pisa) and Uzzano (Pistoia) – participation is equal to 37.74%
