Full salt and squares, despite the rather unusual cold in these latitudes this season. And the appeal of all the candidates to go to vote to prevent the polls, however, are empty. The election campaign in Calabria also closes with the national parties in Calabria: Giuseppe Conte with Pasquale Tridico on the stage of Rossano-Corigliano in the north of the region (Elly Schlein participates but in video-vacation), there is also Marco Rizzo in support of the candidate of sovereign and popular democracy, Francesco Toscano.
Fdi Schiente Arianna Meloni in Catanzaro, together with Roberto Occhiuto, Matteo Salvini goes to Reggio Calabria, where he focuses everything on the bridge over the Strait, and is said to be convinced that the center-left “will not lose, he will tear”. Some disputes for him, Roberto Vannacci and Claudio Durigon by the “no bridge” to the final rally of the League, while in Rome there is still no square to announce the candidates also for Puglia, Campania and Veneto. Throughout the day, rumors of a possible agreement reached, also because the League leader in the morning, before leaving for Reggio Calabria, would have spoken to Giorgia Meloni.
Not at Palazzo Chigi, where the Prime Minister was not seen, but in a private residence. No official confirmation, some laconic “works still in progress”. In the evening, the hypothesis that the candidates can all be political, with the scheme that would see Fi in Puglia with Mauro D’Attis, Fdi in Campania with Edmondo Cirielli and the League that would keep Veneto with Alberto Stefani, spreads.
But the faithful of the premier invite Caution to caution, and Salvini Glissa himself, saying that the names will have “shortly”, despite having assured only two days ago that “within the week” would have closed. The week “is still long”, he jokes at the end of the Reggio rally, where he arrived in the early afternoon with his partner, Francesca Verdini. Walk to the city center, a stop to the Duomo (complete with selfies also requested by the guests at a wedding).
Many incitements among passers -by in a city thrown by a freezing wind. However, the protesters were waiting for him in the square, where for the duration of the rally they alternated chorus whistles, punctually underlined by the League leader, who tried to throw it on irony.
“You are welcome, you do not have a place of your …” because on the left they know precisely to “stra-perdere” addresses Salvini directly from the stage, from where it also ironically on Tridico, returning to the gaffe of the “three provinces” Calabrians.
Even Occhiuto, who spends the day to meet supporters and candidates, goes to the attack of the challenger, who launched the “absurd proposal” to suspend the car stamp for the Calabrians. For the center -left candidate it is a compensation for the “rough roads”. For the outgoing and re -candididated governor, it is instead a measure that brings “178 million” without which “we would be to instability”, he puts Occhiuto.
Tridico, he says, is doing a campaign “From cetto the whatever and if it lasted a little longer it would also say that he whitens home to everyone …”. However, Giuseppe Conte is convinced that “the wave of citizens” can reserve “nasty surprises” to Occhiuto and also the secretary dem invites us to go to vote because only in this way “can we make the difference”. On Monday it will be seen if the abstention will not win once again.
