There are excited hours and days, both in Piazza De Ferrari and in Via Fieschi. On the one hand, the formation of the council of Marco Bucciwhich reached the photo finish yesterday, on the other the reorganization of the parties that will take part in the new regional council. Armando Sanna will be the new group leader of the Democratic Party in the regional council and Roberto Arboscello towards the vice presidency.
President Bucci’s new (old) team
The President of the Region found the square a few minutes after the presentation press conference, when at the center of the conflict was the most thorny department, that of Health, which seemed to have to pass from the hands of Nicolò to those of Castanini. In the end it was the Genoese ophthalmologist who prevailed, not without tension and nervousness. This concerns the majority, which is preparing to unofficially begin the new legislature, which will be consecrated next Tuesday, November 26, with the first regional council. The team is ready, the councilors are there, seven in total (at least for the moment), waiting for the number to be expanded to nine. Four centre-right exponents confirmed by Giovanni Toti’s last council, three new faces: Massimo Nicolò (technician with the Fratelli d’Italia card), Luca Lombardi of FdI and Paolo Ripamonti of the League. However, the outgoing councilors Alessandro Piana, Marco Scajola, Simona Ferro and Giacomo Giampedrone have been reinstated.

Smiles for Emilia and Umbria, but the Democratic Party in the Region is on standby
This concerns the majority led by Marco Bucci; on the other side of the barricade the center-left celebrates the result of Emilia Romagna and Umbria, which saw Michele de Pascale and Stefania Proietti triumph, with the so-called wide, if not very wide, field. In short, it ended 2-1 for the progressive camp, but in Liguria the defeat still hurts. Many were betting on a 3-0, which would have sounded like a strong signal to the (stable) government of Giorgia Meloni. So if the request is to start from there, also in view of the municipal elections that will be held in Genoa in the next few months, the Democratic Party in via Fieschi is waiting to distribute the roles. The black smoke took place in the last few hours, when the agreement between the eight/nine dem councilors had not yet been reached. A new meeting should be held today in the rooms of the regional council, to try to close a fundamental match for the opposition. In fact, the Dems are the largest council group, eight elected, to which is added the deputy Andrea Orlando, who in December will dissolve his reservations regarding whether or not to remain in Liguria, which would crown him leader of the minority. Burdens and honors for the Ligurian Democratic Party, which will be called to captain the opposition in the chamber, with the old ones (Armando Sanna, Davide Natale, Roberto Arboscello and Enrico Ioculano) and the new exponents (Katia Piccardo, Federico Romeo, Simone D’Angelo and Carola Baruzzo). Within a week the roles will have to be distributed, starting from who will be the new group leader, and the regional secretary Davide Natale always seems to have the advantage; it will then be necessary to decide who will be his deputy, as well as indicating the name of the vice president of the regional council. The outgoing profile is that of Armando Sanna, who would not disdain repeating the experience, also thanks to his over 8 thousand preferences collected. But the former mayor of Sant’Olcese is undermined by Katia Piccardo and Roberto Arboscello. The reserves should be dissolved within a few hours.
Orlando and Bucci’s “misogynistic” junta
Meanwhile, the candidate for the presidency of the Liguria Region Andrea Orlando attacks and comments on the new administration of the now outgoing mayor of Genoa. “The Bucci council and its trappings are a misogynistic mess. We wish everyone good luck” Orlando wrote on his social profiles. The former minister is referring to the composition of the government team, which includes six men and only one woman. It was Bucci himself who anticipated that he would work to increase the number of women. And this is how he responded to our question during the presentation press conference yesterday afternoon.
A woman in addition, Bucci: “Sorry but represented in other roles”
What were the key factors that contributed to the Democratic Party’s disappointing performance in the recent Liguria elections?
Interviewer: Welcome to our world-today-news.com website. We are delighted to have you as our guests today. For those who are not familiar with the recent developments in the political landscape of Liguria, can you give us a brief overview of the recent election results and the formation of the new regional council?
Guest 1: Sure, thank you for having me. Last Sunday’s regional elections in Liguria saw a tight victory for the center-right coalition led by Marco Bucci, who will serve as the new president. The Democratic Party emerged as the largest party in the council with eight elected members, followed by Forza Italia and the League with four each. Despite their strong showing, the Democratic Party failed to secure a majority and will be part of the opposition going forward.
Guest 2: That’s right. The Democratic Party’s poor showing is undoubtedly a significant disappointment, especially considering their hopes for a 3-0 sweep in the region. However, they remain optimistic about their role in the opposition and are currently working out leadership positions within their group.
Interviewer: Can you shed some light on the proposed composition of the new Bucci government? What changes, if any, have been made since the previous administration?
Guest 1: The new government has adopted a more male-dominated approach, with only one woman among the seven members announced so far. This has drawn criticism from former minister Andrea Orlando, who called it “misogynistic.” President Bucci has acknowledged the lack of female representation but defended the decision, stating that they are represented in other roles. It’s clear that there will be some continuity from the previous administration, with many familiar faces returning to their positions.
Guest 2: Yes, it’s worth noting that while there may not be an equal number of men and women in the council, the President’s decision to retain experienced hands in key positions suggests a focus on consistency and stability. However, it’s important to ensure that all voices are heard and that gender balance is not overlooked in important decision-making processes.
Interviewer: Moving on to the Democratic Party, how are they preparing for their new role as the opposition? Are there any internal issues or divisions that need addressing before they can effectively challenge the new administration?
