But now on the Bari stage they give a public demonstration of unity. They do it a week after the vote. Tajani, Salvini and Meloni are in the city after their personal election tours in the region where they bombed the 15-year-old center-left region and the government. Favorite target of the Minister of the School Lucía Azzolina.
A pattern that is also repeated on the stage set on the San Nicola di Bari quay at sunset, as the people of Bari prepare for Saturday night. Police forces close the pier and reduce the area with several hundred supporters and party flags flying. Next to the bar of the pier a group of young leftists and social centers that will protest with boo and whistles throughout the evening.

The three leaders first parade in front of the cameras. “The compact teams to fight are those on the left. In Puglia there is a beautiful air of change. From Emiliano and from the left only attacks and fights “, says Salvini who, however, denies for the first time the Lombard sanitary model:” The winning model in Puglia is that of Apulia. I have met many doctors who ask me that only merit is worth, not closeness, coexistence. The merit. “To those asked about the investigation by the Milan prosecutor’s office that led to the arrest of three accountants close to the Lega, Salvini responds:” I am very calm, I have been looking for money in Russia and Switzerland, Luxembourg, San Marino , Liechtenstein for years. and they find nothing. “Then the” historic “handshake between Salvini and the candidate Fitto. Immediately behind the vice-presidential candidate Nuccio Altieri, the man from the League who preferred the center-right, however, the MEP Hermanos de Italy.
Raffaele Fitto and Matteo Salvini
“The opponents are nervous” says the leader of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni who also comments on the case of the visit in August together with Fitto to the company in Polignano in which a Covid outbreak broke out: “The company was closed. They use the argument to discredit us in the election campaign. But we can go to the companies, the Democratic Party and the 5 Stars cannot do it. Meloni is convinced that if he wins here and in the other regions, it could be an eviction notice for the government: “The President of the Republic is not just a notary.”
Then when it comes to getting on stage, there is a kind of competition between the different fans. There are those who shout the name of Matteo Salvini. Immediately an even louder cry from the followers of the Brothers of Italy, the true hosts of the evening, for Giorgia Meloni. Presidential candidate Raffaele Fitto, who has been waiting for this moment since the 2005 defeat to Nichi Vendola, takes the stage. He cites inefficiencies and waste: “In 15 years, no infrastructure has been built. We are among the regions with the highest taxes on waste. They have created a bureaucratic monster and what is happening in agencies and in ASL these days is scandalous. We have to break this system of distribution of perks ”.
Then it is the turn of the three leaders. From Lorenzo Cesa from the UDC to Tajani from Forza Italia who receives applause from the public for Silvio Berlusconi who suffers from Covid. When Meloni appears on stage, at the end of the square the protest chants from the leftist protesters increase. “The Region in recent years has been a great car to seat friends of friends against any meritocracy.” Launches an attack on epidemiologist Pierluigi Lopalco, center-left candidate with Emiliano: “We saw it with the shame that false technicians paid 100,000 euros a year to carry out the electoral campaign. Like Lopalco, a shame. We want to know who came up with the cancer patient list. Methods that show difficulties on the part of our opponents ”. Meloni, like Salvini after her, attacks the government in handling Covid and illegal immigrants.
Salvini challenged in Matera, boos and banners. “You are only friends of illegal immigrants”
However, it is the leader of the League who closes the evening. However, it does so by denying what Meloni said a few minutes earlier, that is, by not giving national weight to the Apulian vote: “It is not an Apulian vote to be used in Rome, it is an Apulian vote for the Apulians.” Cite San Nicola “the patron saint of sailors and students, they are two pieces of Italy that this land, this boardwalk deserve to represent again. The people of the sea. “And immediately after the mention of the saint of Myra, however, his speech becomes more aggressive:” In Puglia we want tourists who pay, not those who disembark. My balls are full of drug traffickers, illegal immigrants, time wasters and left-wing friends who do not welcome because they are generous. Those who want to fill Bari with immigrants do so because in the shoes of these people they earn billions of euros. “He points to the protesters:” Raffaele is a good signal. If the only answer the left can give is the whistle and the red flag, guys we have already won. “
Salvini, however, is the only leader who warns: “After 15 years the center-right has a single candidate and a compact team. The train of change does not return from Bari ”. Meanwhile, it gets dark on the Bari seafront. Now it is up to this city and all of Puglia to determine if the time has come to embrace and embrace the government model of this right with sovereign traction. How welcome, yet you just don’t want to hear about it.
