After the holiday of the Ferragosto, the Calabrian policy (re) warms up the engines because on the horizon there are the regional elections to be held on 5 and 6 October. The weather travels inexorable and there are a few days left (less than three weeks) upon the expiry of the presentation of the lists.
Occhiuto is already in the election campaign
Social video, audio messages, interviews on major national newspapers. The resigning president Roberto Occhiuto began, in fact, his electoral campaign aware of being able to convince the Calabrians to re -elected him for the second term after his resignation of 31 July last. Occhiuto will leverage some macro themes that he can claim forcefully: the relaunch of the Reggio Calabria airport with the strengthening of Ryanair in Calabria (in addition to the construction of the new Reggio airport), the construction of the hospitals of Sibaritide, Vibo and the plain of Gioia Tauro in Palmi, having unified the reclamation consortium and other aspects on which he will try to fortify his consent.
How many lists in support of Occhiuto?
The center -right should take the field with the lists of Forza Italia, the brothers of Italy, Lega. Then, probably, there will be a list made up of UDC and independence, a civic list of the president. It will still be necessary to understand if we moderates, Maurizio Lupi’s party, will form a unique list (in 2021 the list with Italy was present in 2021 which remained outside the regional council) or will convey to other lists. Four years ago there were seven lists (there was also that of courage Italy who had a remarkable consensus managing to elect two councilors, De Nisi and Cirillo, however today the first in action, the latter in Forza Italia).
Center -left at a crossroads
Will the MEP of the Five Star Movement Pasquale Tridico dissolve the reserve and agree to lead the coalition that would currently see a very wide field to support it? Tomorrow it should be the decisive day also because the center-left can no longer afford to waste more time and remain the victim of crossed vetoes that do nothing but disorient and disammut the reference electorate, but also those potential voters who would look with interest in the anti-care front.
Many names already on the field on the hunt for a bench at Palazzo Campanella
Many regional councilors who will be again of the match. And there are those who aspire to do even better than four years ago: a name above all, the regional councilor of Palmi Giuseppe Mattiani. Elected among the ranks of Forza Italia, the young exponent today of the League aims to be one of the most voted in the whole region. Among the ranks of the League there may also be in the South Circumscription Anna Maria Stanganelli, Regional Guarantor of Health and daughter of the school manager Maria Rosaria Russo, already candidate for mayor at the last administrative elections of Gioia Tauro. Nino Spirlì will also be of the match, formerly acting president of the Calabria Region after the death of Jole Santelli. Spirl could be included in the list of President Occhiuto. Also in the center -right, in the area of the Calabria plant, Mariangela Preta, wife of the provincial coordinator of Fratelli d’Italia, Pasquale La Gamba, will be at the starting line. Who then in the Vibonese, and not only, aims straight at the return to Palazzo Campanella is Vito Pitaro: elected in 2020 in the civic list of Santelli, now he will try the climb again. In short, lists already almost ready in many territories waiting for the center -left to officialize the Alter Ego di Occhiuto in such a way that the election campaign can officially start towards an endless summer and an autumn that are really fiery.
