The “electoral silence” has descended on the streets but certainly not on social media. Last night in Piazza della Resistenza but also in Via Israel and in the districts, the rallies of the candidates for mayor consumed the last fires of an electoral campaign, characterized by quite a bit of confusion. Tomorrow and Monday, the voters who will go to the polls will decide who will administer Crotone for the next 5 years. The match could end as early as Monday if one of the contenders exceeds the threshold of 50.01 percent of valid votes. Or the race could have an addendum on June 7th and 8th with a run-off between the first two most voted candidates tomorrow and Monday. Voters will have to choose between the continuity embodied by the outgoing mayor Vincenzo Voce or the discontinuity represented by the other three “competitors”. There are two heterogeneous coalitions and two civic lists in the running. Voce leads an alliance made up of four civic groups joined by the Fratelli d’Italia list and the one made up of Forza Italia and “Democracy is freedom” which also includes candidates from “We Moderates”. It is an organic centre-right coalition.
On the other side there is the centre-left, or rather the progressive coalition, which is running for mayor the environmentalist and animal rights lawyer, Giuseppe Trocino, supported by 4 lists (two civic, plus the Democratic Party and the 5 Star Movement). In the middle, there are the civic party led by the sociologist Vito Barresi and the “Rights and Health” list led by the outgoing city councilor Fabrizio Meo.
