Elections 2025, coalitions at the crossroads in Lamezia: after the summer there will be a showdown

The usual sleepy pace of the Lamezia summer is marked by almost daily press releases from representatives of the various parties more or less present and active in the city. There are those who look at the issues of national politics and those who try to measure themselves with more local questions, those who reel off presumed results and those who point the finger, listing the ever-growing list of disservices suffered by citizens. The truth, however, is that everyone, with will and interest inversely proportional to those of the community, is already thinking about the aftermath. The immediate future. AThe moment when, having put aside the idleness of August, we will begin to sharpen our weapons and strategies in view of the composition of the groups that will compete for the leadership of the Municipality in the elections next spring.
Coalitions, at least those that are crystallized as such at the national and regional level, are at a crossroads: on the one hand, the tortuous path of alliances, on the other, that of fragmentation. This latter path, which, looking at the current situation of the factions represented in the City Council, seems the most likely at the moment, would lead the various forces in the field to weigh themselves in the first round and then play the alliance card in a possible run-off. But it is evidently only a hypothesis, because in the middle there is precisely the political capacity that the various leaders and their local referents will be able to put into play in September to try to mend a fabric that is currently quite torn.
