Regional, the Marche turns right after 25 years of center-left: Acquaroli is close to 50%. Mangialardi: “Paid for the jingles on health and earthquake”

IT IS mid afternoon when the first rumors circulate. Giorgia Meloni, undecided whether to go directly to Puglia – now lost by Raffaele Fitto – or get on the winners’ wagon in Ancona, turn in the direction Market sit at the press conference with his dolphin, Francesco Acquaroli. The results are now clear: the candidate of Brothers from Italy, repeatedly in the spotlight of the news because accused of having participated in a dinner that celebrated the march on Rome, he is the new president of the Region. With approximately 10 percentage points He also beats the center-left candidate, the mayor of Senigallia Maurizio Mangialardi, and leaves the opponent of the 5-star Move at less than 10%, Gian Mario Mercorelli, breaking the continuity of 25 years of the “red” government and before another 25 years of Christian Democracy.

“The desire for change was perceived“, Comments the very faithful Meloni, interviewed by Tg1, perhaps giving reason to those who in the last days spoke of a “protest vote“Not so much in favor of the center-right candidate, but” against “the policy of the former governor, Luca ceriscioli. “We pay for not being able to counter negative jingles on the earthquake and the management of the health emergency ”, the loser defends himself but promises a battle from the opposition banks. On the other hand, the 5-star Movement did not arrive, guilty, according to Mangialardi, for not having accepted an alliance that, as the mayor of Pesaro also points out, Matteo ricci “It could have been decisive.” Actually, looking at the current results, the percentages would not have been enough to win the center-right, although they would have given Acquaroli a hard time, at least forcing him to postpone the celebratory press conference, organized when the sections scrutinized were just 400 out of more than 1,500.

No post-earthquake reconstruction me health careIn addition to the economic crisis derived from years of inaction, they were the factors that most weighed on the election at the polls. Without forgetting the failure of the Covid hospital in Civitanova, built in a hurry to make up for the lack of beds, and then closed less than a week after opening for “lack of patients.” All the pieces that have been returned in the voting booth to a people tired of the Marches and undoubtedly wanting “something new.” The results in theto turn off: more than 59% of those authorized went to the voting table, despite being one of the last possible days at sea, 10% more than in 2015 when the center-left won indisputably, highlighting Acquaroli himself (already then a candidate ) of almost 20 percentage points.

La Marche is like that 15th region that passes into the hands of the center-right. Celebrate, above all, the Brothers of Italy that the League touches in the list preferences. “The center-right with the fundamental leadership of Fratelli D’Italia offers this Region a different development season”, Giorgia Meloni, aware of her objectives, comments. If we look at the results of the individual lists, in fact, if on the one hand the Democratic Party remains in the lead, confirming itself as the first option of Marche, in the center-right coalition a confrontation is brewing: the League de Salvini after the feat of the European Championships in 2019 stops “only” at 21.5%, with the Brothers of Italy exceeding 17%.

In the “red bastion,” as the leaders of the right too enthusiastically call it despite well-planted roots in the Christian Democrats, the North farm of the Region, historically the most voted by the center-left. The area of Pesaro me Urbino, the one that had to bear the most the shock wave of the advance of the center-right from the South, in reality it seems not to have been maintained. Acquaroli achieves 48% of preferences in the Pesaro area, compared to 38% in Mangialardi. However, the province of Ancona, the only one at the time where the mayor of Senigallia results in the head. Faced with such an obvious debacle, the commentary of the mayor of the Doric city comes like a sword, Valeria Mancinelli, a name that, say the evildoers from within the Democratic Party, should have aimed to avoid “giving the region to the right.” “The results tell us that the center-left wins where at least two of the following three essential factors concur, a regional government perceived as efficient and close to the people, a political and social roots in the territory, and a candidate for the presidency with a personality strong and recognized, capable of attracting relevant consensus – writes the mayor – In the Brands there were none of these three ingredients“.
