The center-right triumphs in the ballots: returns to victory in Tuscany, tears Ancona, a city governed for over 30 years by centre-left administrations, and also asserts itself in Brindisi. Also good in Sicily, where he wins in Catania, goes to the ballot in Syracuse, while in Ragusa he wins a civic. The Democratic Party conquers only Vicenza and keeps Trapani, so much so that the leader Elly Schlein acknowledges clear defeat. The 5 stars reflect and do not spend words to comment on the result.
In the end, taking into account the results of fifteen days ago and the Sicilian vote, the majority cheers loudly with a ringing 10 to 4, history apart from the case of Terni where an autonomous albeit conservative candidate wins. There has been a further drop in turnout, but the data seems to belie the taboo that double-shifting would help centre-left candidates. A vote that confirms a very long honeymoon between the executive and the country: a long wave that remains strong eight months after the victory of the policies.
Local data which, however, inevitably strengthen the government’s activity and embarrass the opposition, consoled only by the conquest of Vicenza. Numbers which, moreover, strongly relaunch the unity of the center-right in view of the next electoral appointment, the European elections of June 2024 and conversely mark a bad setback for the new democratic leadership, at the baptism of the polls.
Turnout down at 3 pm for the ballots in 7 provincial capitals and 34 municipalities: the figure is 49.64% (1,595 sections out of 1,595), down on the first round (58.39%). The Viminale website communicates it. In Sardinia, where 171 municipalities vote in the first round, the turnout at 3 pm (53 sections out of 171) is 66.62% (68.69% in the previous municipal ones).
“No doubt about it: an excellent Schlein Effect”. The leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, writes it on Twitter, commenting on the municipals. “Extraordinary results for the League and the center-right throughout Italy, with historic victories in Ancona – the only regional capital to vote, which has always been administered by the left – and Brindisi, triumph in Tuscany with the reconquest of Massa, Pisa and Siena, awaiting the results of the first round in Sicily in which we are very confident”. “The center-right and Forza Italia win the local elections by storm. Our movement is confirmed as central in the Italian political framework, from North to South. How much satisfaction for our Daniele Silvetti who, after 30 years, tears Ancona away from the left”. Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani writes it on Twitter.
Administrative, Meloni: ‘Center-right wins, good governance rewarded’
“We have achieved good results and some victories that could be defined as historic, such as in Ancona, confirming the fact that strongholds no longer exist”. Thus the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a video message after the results of the administrations in which she “wins the center-right”. “The centre-right wins these administrative elections and confirms its consensus among the Italians, its roots, its strength”. Thus the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after commenting on the outcome of the administrative elections. “I want to thank all the citizens who have chosen to place their trust in the centre-right, rewarded for our good governance, our proposals and our pragmatism”.
Administrative, Schlein: ‘Clear defeat, wind from the right is still strong’
“It’s a clear defeat. The wind in favor of the right is still strong and still existsto. We thank all those who have spent, our candidates, in these elections. They knew it would be difficult, it takes time to build a successful centre-left. The fact that the Democratic Party is the first party in the list vote is not a consolation “. He declared it the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein at the end of the party’s national secretariat convened after the results of the administrative elections. “It is clear that you cannot win alone. An alternative field needs to be reconstructed, which credibly contends with the right for victory. But the responsibility for building this field does not concern only the Pd. In the capitals it went badly, it went better in the municipalities medium”. This was stated by the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein at the end of the party’s national secretariat convened after the results of the administrative elections.
