Therefore, the clumsy attempt by the center -right to give a narrative on the failure to achieve the quorum as a defeat of the left and a strengthening of the government is nothing more than “propaganda” which already collapsed only with respect to the given that the center -right in September 2022 won the elections with just over 12 million votes, below over 13 million si to the referendum questions on the work of the work and this is a clear message To the next political competitions: the united progressive coalition is in a position to win “. This is what Giuseppe Campana, regional spokesman for Europe Verde Calabria and Fernando Pignataro, regional secretary of Italian left Calabria say in a note.
“The truth is that the failure to achieve the quorum is not the failure of the left, but a lost opportunity for millions of Italians to have more rights, we have lost a battle, but we think we have rekindled hope.
