Messina at the polls, even Senator Dafne Musolino at Marcello Scurria’s rally

The choice of side was in the air and was revealed on the last day of the electoral campaign: while the centre-left mayoral candidate, Antonella Russo, spoke to her voters from the stage in Piazza Lo Sardo, one of the leading exponents of the centre-left itself, the senator of Italia Viva Dafne Musolino, chose another square, that of Marcello Scurria, the centre-right mayoral candidate. Musolino – who in recent days had already distanced himself from the bill presented by the Democratic Party on “Messina, gateway to the Mediterranean” – did not participate in any of the centre-left events in this electoral campaign, with the exception of a fleeting appearance at the press conference presenting the joint symbol of M5S and Controcorrente, and did not contribute, at least directly, to the lists of candidates. Yesterday evening, a few hours after the electoral silence, the choice of field: Piazza Casa Pia, to attend and applaud Scurria’s rally. A choice that will cause discussion within the progressive camp, even after tomorrow’s and Monday’s vote.
