Nominations for the next regional elections continue to split the majority supporting Meloni’s government. There is a cold war in Sardinia between the prime minister and his deputy, Matteo Salvini, who continues to support Solinas’ candidacy, with the outgoing governor no longer very popular on the island.
The person Giorgia Meloni points to is Paolo Truzzu, the current mayor of Cagliari, but the Union is not giving up. “According to Carroccio’s regional coordinator, Michele Pais, Christian Solinas is the only possible candidate. Italy’s brothers must accept this because it is not a matter of percentage but of continuity. When they stated they were at 4 percent. Paolo Truzzu is the mayor of Cagliari”.
Conflict between the League and the Italian Brothers
Fratelli d’Italia’s aim is to shrink Matteo Salvini’s League, which is struggling below the psychological threshold of 10 percent, by suppressing the new balances and strong consensus of the prime minister’s party, which is moving towards 30 percent. The majority political power within the coalition currently rests solely with the governor of Abruzzo, Marco Marsilio, who is not even sure he will be re-elected. A match that could expand to other regions and also affect Forza Italia, which aims to keep Vito Bardi in Basilicata and Alberto Cirio in Piedmont. Forza Italia supporters are opposed to granting Luca Zaia a third mandate, which would make it possible for him to be re-nominated and calm the waters on the centre-right somewhat, preventing another front from opening.
Giorgia Meloni wants to steal Veneto from the League
In fact, we are already looking forward to 2025 when we will return to voting in Veneto, in the area around Via della Scrofa. If Zaia does not run again, Fratelli d’Italia aims to carry out a sensational operation, namely to advance the candidacy of Luca De Carlo, the party’s regional coordinator and current chairman of the Senate’s Industry, Tourism and Agriculture committee. De Carlo, who is very loyal to Lollobrigida, may be the name the prime minister has identified to steal one of his strongholds from the Union. If the operation is successful, Matteo Salvini’s secretariat could seriously falter. The interested party confirmed the Melonians’ aims from the pages of Gazzettino: “With a logic of balance – he explained that Veneto is attributable to foreign direct investments. We have a ruling class that can also imply a regional president. This will depend on regional agreements and national “On deals. If the best possible candidate comes from foreign direct investment, it seems to me right that we should focus on that.”
Who is Luca De Carlo?
De Carlo acts as a bridge between Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida and operators in the sector. For nearly fifteen years he has been mayor of the municipality of Calalzo di Cadore, in the Belluno region, with a population of just under two thousand. Born in Pieve di Cadore in 1972, Senator Pomegranate was the first deputy in the history of the Republic to be elected to both the Assembly and the Senate in the same chamber. Following the recount of votes in 2020, his seat in the Veneto1 constituency was reassigned to Northern League member Giuseppe Paolin. After losing his role as an MP, he ran again a few days later in additional elections in the Verona provincial constituency, winning 71.87 of the votes and being elected Senator.
