The latest electoral poll through the regional elections has concluded
for the moment with a draw, but the voting trend deserves to be analyzed
because it provides interesting keys to understanding the political
situation in the country. The first and most evident fact that emerges
is that only around 50% of the voters went to the polls, with the result
that it is necessary to weigh the consensus gathered by the elected
representatives and that attributed to the losers and in the meantime
admit that the winners of the one and the other party have the consent
of no more than a quarter of the voters entitled to vote. This
highlights the crisis of politics and citizens' participation in voting,
phenomena dictated by the belief that "this or that is equal to me", or
that nothing can be expected from the elected representatives, because,
ultimately, the differences between them they are few. Having said this,
we cannot help but develop some considerations regarding specific cases.
Sardinia Meloni and Caligula syndrome
Designating the candidate for Sardinia, in her imperial delirium, the
Prime Minister found nothing better than to emulate Caligula, who,
loving supremely incitatatus, his favorite horse, decided to nominate
him Senator, imposing it on the conscript fathers. as a clear
demonstration of his contempt for them and as a measure of his personal
undisputed power. Similarly, Meloni, having landed in Cagliari, chose
Paolo Truzzu, the unwanted mayor of Cagliari, predestining him to the
position of Governor of the island.
The choice had been careful and considered, cemented by the relationship
of trust built during drinks in the tavern near Via della Scrofa, in the
Garbatella section, fantasizing about Ascari's marches to conquer
Africa, the glories of the empire, and above all on the development of a
strategy to identify a common path out of the sewers. The "blonde
dwarf", as Salvini defines her, dusted off the frequent trips to Rome of
the comrade from Cagliari when in the 90s Truzzu and Meloni were both
students and fascist militants and both militated in the National
Alliance and then in Student Action; that common militancy was
consolidated in the national holidays of Atreju and therefore Truzzu was
chosen as the perfect companion of the group of the premier's loyalists,
and deserving of being proconsul in Sardinia. Truzzu's only merit was
that of being the boss's horse, but Meloni, like Caligula, went
decidedly badly. Once again the family solutions did not work, thanks to
the split vote on the presidency of the region. The 8.5% of the votes
that went to Soru made the sides clear and visible.
In Abruzzo it is repeated
At first glance, Abruzzo seemed like a perfect replica of the Sardinia
case: the prime minister's candidate, Marco Marsilio, emerged from the
sewers like the prime minister and the Sardinian candidate, in fact he
was the secretary of the section in which Meloni joined the party. More
intensely than Truzzu, he was part of the development of the Roman
ruling group and already during the last elections, he was sent as
proconsul to nearby Abruzzo, maintaining the Roman residence.
The disastrous state of healthcare in the region, the delays in the
construction of infrastructures (it is enough to mention for everyone
the Rome-Pescara railway), the state of degradation of the school
buildings, the absence of counseling centers, of services, the lack of
development, made one think that a turning point in the management of
the government of the region was necessary and welcomed by the citizens.
But these forecasts lacked a more in-depth knowledge of the territory in
which the prime minister's party has a deep-rooted establishment than in
Sardinia, especially if we look at the province of L'Aquila, which is
her constituency. In Abruzzo the fascists know the interest groups well
and the outgoing administration has distributed advantages and perks to
them in the 5 years of government, breaking down the constraints that
prevented building speculation, leaving room for a set of clientelistic
groups that find their representation in the regional council and who
had no intention of abandoning. Emblematic of this situation is the
movement to Forza Italia of a part of what had been clientele and
electoral support of the 5 Stars around the candidate Sara Marozzi.
In organizing its electoral campaign in the area, the right adopted
different strategies in the 4 provinces. In the 108 municipalities of
L'Aquila, it has focused on family chains, which are particularly
effective for controlling the vote in small towns where everyone knows
each other, and on policies to deregulate building restrictions in the
territories occupied by natural parks. The strategy implemented in the
province of Teramo is less effective, where the production structure is
characterized by the creation of production investment areas in small
municipalities.
The centre-left was more confident about the crisis than the League -
confirmed by the electoral results - but above all about the fact that
the civic candidate D'Amato, considered to be of great quality and
balance, was able to gather the support of a very large group. Precisely
this circumstance - in our opinion - is one of the truest causes of the
defeat of the so-called reformist forces because, by bringing everyone
together, it demonstrated in practice that there were no substantial
differences between the two sides and provided a rational reason for
those has decided to abstain, not to participate, aware of the fact that
large crowds do not convince anyone, especially if those who take part
in them do not miss the opportunity to criticize each other and to say
all the bad things possible about each other, while they should act as
allies. For once we need to agree with the prime minister and admit that
to win it is not a wide or very wide field that is important, but a
cohesive one.
