Friuli Venezia Giulia 2023 election One thing is certain here: Outgoing president Massimiliano Fedriga is also running as a candidate, as it has caused controversy about his choice to present himself without the symbol of the Lega party. Instead, it presents itself as a civic front that squeezes the entire front of the centre-right.
As of date, however, it is almost certain that voting will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of Paris, given that a resolution is being worked out to be signed by February 1. “The intention of this Administration is to proceed with the adoption of the decision that will formally set the dates for the next regional and municipal elections. A decision to be adopted by February 1, 2023.” This was expressed by the local autonomy councilor Pierpaolo Roberti, who had already presented a specific circular at a meeting of the district council.
If Fedriga gets the engines going, the centre-left will still know what they want to do because there is no official candidate and it is not clear what the alliances will be. But in recent months, the regional secretary, Cristiano Shaurli, has announced that he will not run for the District.
Right now only the 5 Star Movement is moving, which seems to want to start a dialogue with the alliance of the Greens and the Italian Left. As far as the 5-Star candidate is concerned, there has been a lot of talk in recent months about former minister Stefano Patuanelli, a true native of Trieste, but it seems premature for any name even here at the moment. So who are the candidates in the Friuli Venezia Giulia 2023 regional elections?

Who is the centre-right candidate Massimiliano Fedriga?
Massimiliano Fedriga has always been a lawyer, and this is not a metaphor because he got his first card, the League card, at the age of 15 with the signed permission of his parents. Fedriga has a degree in communication sciences. In 2003 he became provincial secretary of the League in Trieste, the city where he lived with his family, and his ascent continued with his election to the House of Representatives in 2008, and in 2013 he was confirmed as leader of the League in Montecitorio. This was a time when Fedriga became a frequent guest on national television and became a well-known figure for speaking to the media on behalf of the party.
In parliament Fedriga was a member of the commission dealing with labor and social policy. In October 2015, she was suspended for 15 days due to constant extremism in the Assembly. She was at a time when she often clashed with the Speaker of the Assembly, Laura Boldrini. It’s the first time a bandleader has been fined, she. It’s hard to imagine Fedriga what he is today: a moderate government man and always a calm tone. The fact is that in the last regional elections, he was nominated as the president of Friuli Venezia Giulia, taking on the whole center-right side. Fedriga has clearly won and the League is the first party in the region.
