Controversy of the center -right and tensions in the center -left. The candidacy of Professor Donatella di Cesare as a regional councilor in Calabria feeds the clash. Last year, a social commentary – then removed – Upon the death of the red brigatist Barbara Balzerani raised a Vespaio: «Your revolution was also mine. The different ways do not erase ideas ». In these days, the name of the professor – teaches philosophy in La Sapienza of Rome – began to circulate for the civic list that supports the candidate governor Pasquale Tridico, of the M5S, deployed from the wide field. He is a “instigator of hatred,” commented Fabio Rampelli, of Fdi. Tridico immediately defended him, saying “amazed and disconcerted by Fdi’s attacks” and calling it “pacifist and feminist”.
But in the center -left the annoyance is there. The hardest was Ernesto Maria Ruffini, the former director of the Revenue Agency for a while on the pitch with the ulvest committees “plus one”: “Aldo Moro and the men of his escort were assassinated by the br. Among the protagonists of that page there was also Barbara Balzerani. It is unacceptable that the candidacy of a teacher who remembered it was proposed.” Deputy by Avs Elisabetta Piccolo, who called the “controversy against an important pacifist and anti -racist intellectual, using the topic of an old post that was also from Cesare canceled precisely because he had realized that he could be misrepresented”.
Party leaders did not enter the controversy. «The severe judge of the Ukrainian government and indulgent with Putin, he honored Barbara Balzerani’s memory. The Professor of Cesare takes his own to make the position of the Democratic Party uncomfortable and embarrassing, “commented the deputy Daniela Ruffino, exponent of action, who in Calabria does not support tridico. The regions of the South confirm problems. In Puglia, the pressing on Antonio Decaro and on the other protagonists of the game grows in the Democratic Party, first of all about the outgoing governor Michele Emiliano. To decide who the candidate at the helm of the Region will be, the days are counted.
The group leader of the Democratic Party is sure of this in the Senate, Francesco Boccia: “The unitary agreement in the center -left will be confirmed and I am convinced that with Elly Schlein at the Bisceglie regional unity party there will be a lightening”. The appointment is for the opening of the event: Friday. In the center -right, the regional question is largely open. We have been talking for weeks of a meeting between the leaders, but he is still not on the agenda. “It will be shortly – assured the secretary of the League Matteo Salvini – we have clear ideas”, especially on Veneto: “I count that we continue with the center -right united and the league at the helm”.
For the center -left, in Puglia the candidacy of the Eurodepeututated Decaro remains highly altitude. The starting point is the coalition: “We will continue to be stubbornly unitary – Schlein said – The unit does not ask the doctor but our people”. Not surprisingly, on Friday in Bisceglie the group leaders in the Senate of Avs Peppe de Cristofaro, by IV Raffella Paita and of the M5s Stefano Patuanelli are also expected. But for now the tangle remains: Decaro has placed as a condition the step back of Emiliano and the former governor Nichi Vendola, both willing to run for the regional council. Schlein will be able to press pressure on Emiliano, but has no large maneuvering spaces with Vendola, who is part of another family, that of AVS. “Avs did not appear, he is the protagonist of the coalition,” said Si’s secretary, Nicola Fratoianni. One possibility is that the Democratic Party manages to convince Emiliano not to apply – for him a place is expected to the policies 2027 – and that Decaro digests the race of Vendola. But for now every attempt has gone empty.
