“Disappointed? And why should I ever be? We won in a bastion region of the left thanks to the leadership of the Brothers of Italy and the center-right, a region that we never ruled for ourselves, an unthinkable result until a few months ago . FdI is the only party that has grown in all regions to vote: we have gone from 6% to 19% in Marche, in Liguria we doubled, in Tuscany we are 14% of 5%, in Puglia we are plus the Fitto 20 list %. We have done everything possible to contribute to great results: the center-right rules in 15 of the 20 Regions, we have won two supplementary schools and one with our candidate. ”Thus, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, the leader of Fdi Giorgia Meloni, who responds in waiting ‘for the shoulder’ of the government:
“I think a narrative was made from reality. In these elections, out of six Regions in the vote, four saw the new nomination of outgoing governors. And the four, also because of what was the phenomenon of the management of the Covid emergency, have been reconfirmed “.
″ Obviously we would have been happier to win in Tuscany and Puglia too, but we had to fight it all, with the government parades promising the Recovery Fund money if we had ‘voted right’, while in Puglia they sent leaflets to patients cancer and they hired people three days before the vote … It was a very tough battle “, adds Meloni, but” most have lost another Region, the M5S is being reduced to a minimum, their advantage even where they have won is increasingly smaller. The left has played with the fear of losing Tuscany as it had with Emilia-Romagna to make it seem like a victory to reconfirm in territories for its historical strongholds. However, a little game ”.
When asked if he expected more from the center-right allies, Meloni responds:
“I know that at FdI we have done everything possible, we couldn’t ask for more. We will do all the evaluations that we have to do when we have the elements, but I am certainly not the type of person who starts to blame others for the results obtained ”. “I am convinced that competition counts, and among the challengers of outgoing and renowned governors, who objectively had a competitive advantage, Raffaele Fitto is the one who obtained the best result”, adds Meloni, “who won the Yes ci leaves them satisfied, But in the M5S they do not dare to politicize this vote in their favor. If it had been for us it would not have been done either, none of us have supported the request for the referendum with their signature. They wanted me to hide the debacle of the Movement to the Regionals, but they achieved the opposite effect. Because in order to go against the government, many voted for No. So No, which on paper would have won more or less 5%, has achieved a sensational result. “
The request for an early vote still makes sense “because the misalignment between this Parliament, even numerically after the referendum, and the forces that are part of it is increasingly evident. It no longer respects the popular will. And it is true that the cut in the number of parliamentarians will have to be completed with a broader constitutional reform, but it cannot be this House and this Senate that complete it. How to reform the state will have to be one of the issues of the electoral campaign along with others that are very important for our future. And the Brothers of Italy will fight for presidentialism, which is the only one that provides democratic guarantees, stability and efficiency at the highest level ”.
“What I do not expect is that on the day of the vote journalistic reconstructions will come out, not denied by the Quirinal, according to which the head of state would not have dissolved the Chambers even if we had won in all the Regions. It is something that surprised me a lot, both in the background, because it would mean ignoring the popular will, and in the method, because certain things can weigh in the open polls. I was waiting for a denial by the Quirinal of these indiscretions, I am amazed that it has not arrived “, continues Meloni, a new electoral law” can be done quickly and how, we are not deceived neither in the content nor in the timing. Do not even try to propose a return to a proportional electoral law that would be nothing more than a law without problems ”. The majority system makes more and more sense. This vote made it even clearer that the system is reverting to a bipolar pattern, with the increasingly weak M5S destined to lose any function. Kind of a flirty PD list. And when we vote, it will be absolutely clear. As soon as possible, I hope ”.
