Schlein’s three days in Liguria for Orlando: “This region deserves a new beginning”. But all parties are losing ground in the campaign

«Liguria deserves a new beginning after the season of misgovernment by the right and the sad epilogue of the Toti council, which kept the region blocked for months while the waiting lists grew longer». She is the national secretary of the dem Elly Schleinwith the “very good luck” to Andrea Orlando with whom he opened the national direction of the Democratic Party yesterday at the Nazarene, to ideally open the games of the last week of the race for the Ligurian Regionals. The one expected next weekend is the first of the three autumn regional votes, followed next month by those in Emilia Romagna and Umbria, and for this reason it seems the most important. And for this very reason, from now until the day of electoral silence, next Saturday, the region will make the region the first battle ground between the country’s political forces.

A serial duel that will be repeated next Friday at a minimum distance, in the perimeter of the center of Genoa, with the two closing demonstrations of the centre-right and centre-left campaign. Some at the Magazzini del Cotone, at the Porto Antico, where the two years of the government of Giorgia Meloni. The others in a square yet to be defined, on stage the leaders of the progressive front who already met in Rome yesterday to demonstrate together on the Stellantis case.

Waiting for the last act of the ongoing duel between the governing majority parties and the opposition ones, and between Marco Bucci e Andrea Orlandoin these days the final sprint of the electoral campaign will thicken the agenda of coalitions and candidates. The campaign to recover votes in the Tigullio has been launched from Rome, where polls say the center-left would be at a disadvantage and where it is no coincidence that Schlein herself is expected today: today at 7.30 pm in Recco at 8.30 pm in Piazza Bo, in Sestri Levante , tomorrow he will be with Orlando and Stefano Bonaccini in Imperia at 9pm and first in Arenzano (at 11am) and Cairo Montenotte (at 6pm), on Monday in Sanremo (8.30am at the Flower Market), Imperia (10.30am) and at 4.30pm again in Genoa, at Sestri Ponente.

Among others, the Grillina governor of Sardinia is expected to campaign for the progressive candidate Alessandra Todde e Pier Luigi Bersani (today at 3pm at Sivori in Genoa), the red-green leaders Angelo Bonelli e Nicola Fratoianni (at 6pm in Savona, in Piazza Pertini), the Dem MEPs Alessandro Zan (yesterday in Genoa to launch the race of the metropolitan secretary of the Democratic Party, Simone D’Angelo) and Brando Benifei (today at 6pm at the Ducale together with Gianni Cuperlo and the leader of the Orlando list, Marco Ansaldo), Carlo Calenda next Monday, the 21st.

The calendars are also moved to the right, however. This afternoon Bucci will meet in Piazza Pilo in Sestri Ponente, Matteo Salvini and his deputy at MIT, Edoardo Rixi. Which will then replicate between Albenga, Imperia and Zuccarello. Tomorrow morning, at 10am at the Hotel Bristol in Genoa, the President of the Senate is expected to launch Bucci’s race at FdI altitude Ignazio La Russa. A presence that has not gone unnoticed in Anpi.

From where in these hours the second highest office of the State is being asked to “stay out of the electoral campaign”, because “given his role he should be impartial: campaigning does not fall within his prerogatives, nor in the spirit of Article 54 of the Constitution” . And to Bucci “to distance himself from General Roberto Vannacci”, the new European parliamentarian from the League who also in Sarzana, in recent days, has returned to wink at the far-right electorate by inviting them to trace the name of the mayor on the ballot paper the “tithe”, the X symbol of the Decima Mas.

«We ask the candidate Bucci, mayor of Genoa, a city decorated with a Gold Medal for the role played and the great price of human lives paid in the struggle for liberation from the forces of Nazi-fascism, in which the infamous torture right in our territory – is the request of the partisans association – if he agrees with this statement or distances himself from it as the ethics of those who chair the Permanent Committee would require”.
