Who lost the elections: Italy alive evaporated

In an Italy where traditionally everyone claims victory, the last round of the 2020 regional elections brings out some political data that identifies some losers. Loser of luxury, but who is unlikely to show it, is the leader of the League Matteo salvini that after the coup d’état in Emilia Romagna had failed with the candidate Borgonzoni defeated by Bonaccini, he could not drag Susanna Ceccardi to victory against a Eugenio Giani who certainly did not have the favors of victory.

But that’s not the only defeat in Tuscany To sum up Salvini’s misstep: if the League secretary claims the result achieved in the Marches where the League plays for the first place in the voting list with the Pd, the disappointment at the misstep in Puglia while in Campania the league is only fourth. Also, Zaia’s surprising result in Veneto ends up reducing Salvini’s influence in an electoral round that tells the reconfirmed governor of the Liguria Giovanni Toti able to bring his own “Let’s change!” at the top of the preferences to the detriment of the allies. And also the victory of the center-right in Market with Francesco Acquaroli he ends up wearing a star on the banner of Fratelli d’Italia and Giorgia Meloni, whose lists are growing almost everywhere. Will the leadership of the center right be questioned again?

Salvini defends himself playing in attack: “M5 canceled”

“The first political force present in Parliament has been democratically canceled,” said the leader of the Lega, Matteo Salvini, commenting on the results of the election day. “If in a Region like Veneto the 5 Stars are at 3% and if Di Maio’s house struggles to reach 10%, the only region in which the government alliance has been tested, in Liguria, M5S and Pd have taken a hit memorable M5S and P … I leave the reflections. I had promised not to use the vote of the regional and administrative authorities for national political logic. ”

What happens in the 5 Star Movement

the 5 star movement hides the debacle announced in the regional elections with the result of the referendum. However, in the movement the confrontation has already begun. The day the news of the conviction of the mayor of Turin Chiara Appendino also arrives, many call for the opening of the General States of the Movement, a true congress to redefine the leadership of the 5 stars but also to redesign its skin.

Among the most critical voices is that of former minister Barbara Lezzi, who in a post entrusted to Facebook explains that the electoral return was an “absolute disaster” for the Movement. “General states immediately, otherwise – warns- the Movement runs the risk of extinction “.

The pentastellato Regent Vito Crimi calls for a new organization in the territories while the former political leader Luigi Di Maio seeks the victory of the referendum and tries to soften the divisions in the 5 stars that also pay for the dismissal of Alessandro Di Battista. Among the reasons for discussion is the government’s alliance with the Democratic Party, never digested by the pentastelada base, but which was declined in a failed agreement for the regional elections in Liguria (where the common candidate was defeated and the m5s with a meager 8%) and in some “laboratory municipalities”, the result of which as of tomorrow will give some reflection, as well as the strange alliance made in Matera with socialists and greens, which forecasts a good 20%.

The last call for Raffaele Fitto

The defeat in Puglia is perhaps the most heated for the center-right, as Salvini has for months criticized the choice of the Italian Brothers to run. Raffaele Fitto in Puglia, leaving him practically without support in the electoral campaign, as also happened in Caldoro in Campania. For the former president of the Puglia region (from 2000 to 2005), then a MEP, it is a tough defeat that follows the last failed election campaign to enter parliament as the “fourth leg of the center right”.

From the League come the words of former minister Fontana who invites the center-right to reflect on the options of the South. Options that had to be more innovative, is the ‘refrain’ of the League. Looking ahead to next year’s municipal councils in which important seats such as the mayor of Milan, Rome, Bologna and Turin will be at stake, Salvini highlighted the need for innovative candidates.

What happened Forza Italia

The vicissitudes of the tired leader Silvio Berlusconi they certainly didn’t do well Go Italy: where the center-right won the contribution of the azzurri, it almost disappeared from the polls, it is almost irrelevant. In Liguria there is the Cambiamo! of former Toti to prevail, in Campania the candidate Caldoro was swept by De Luca. Only in Apulia it obtains an appreciable result of around 8%.

Forza Italia is preparing a season of great changes.

Matteo Renzi condemned to irrelevance

The magic touch is gone, and even the lily doesn’t look so good. It is from Tuscany that the worst blow comes for Matteo Renzi and his creature Italia Viva literally evaporates, even in Florence it is below 7%. At the time of the launch of the new party he had pontificate a possible double-digit result at the national level, but even in the cradle of his movement he snatches a narrow 4% that allows him to bring just two representatives to the Regional Council. Will the senator from Florence be able to console himself with this?

Worse has been in Puglia, where Italia Viva’s lonely career has not even managed to lose the hated outgoing president Michele Emiliano. Ivan Scalfarotto, who had run for president, got a few thousand preferences.

In Veneto, the Italia Viva candidate obtained fewer votes than the No Vax candidate and the Communist re-founding candidate.

How would the national vote go

Just for statistics, you could also predict how this round of elections would translate into national terms. An estimate of the votes of the 5 main parties would see the PD stand out (20.4%), followed by Lega (13.8%), FdI (10.1%) and M5S (7.9%), then FI ( 5.3%). %), but the center-right forces must be balanced with the results obtained from the lists of president of Zaia in Veneto and Cambiamo with Toti in Liguria, which will get around 1 million votes in two.

Tecné tried to order the voting intentions detected at the time of the polls for the exit polls: this would result in a substantial fall in the League, always the first game but only 6 points behind the Democratic Party, then Fratelli d ‘Italy versus 5 stars and Vamos, Italia. Only Italia Viva exceeds the 3% threshold.
