Luca Zaia relaunches and, in an interview with the pages of La Stampa, asks that the constraint of two mandates for governors be removed: «This is a country that must decide whether it wants the citizen to be the protagonist in the choice of the ruling class – emphasizes the governor of Veneto – and then it must lift the blockade on mandates. Saying that centers of power are created is like calling citizens idiots, because it is full of cases in which after a first term voters did not renew their confidence. It is not enough to have a position to stay there forever.” But for the “doge of action”, at least if we listen to the bells of the Brothers of Italy, hopes of reaching the “third turning point” would be reduced to a sliver. If is not close to zero: «The risks are too high», the reasoning that resonates with via della Scrofa.
And this is because the ‘Zaia post’ is closely linked to other decisive electoral games. Assuming that IDE does not want to give up Veneto its electoral ‘spoils’ – an obligatory premise – “granting the third term to the governor of the Northern League – explain well-informed people to Adnkronos – would mean simultaneously opening up to three other regions, Campania , Emilia Romagna and Puglia. In fact, risking losing the first two, giving the Democratic Party an advantage with Bonaccini and De Luca…”, the fear that spreads.
Therefore, the space for opening the third term of governors would be very narrow. “There is no doubt about it – the same sources confirm -, Giorgia will not give an inch on this”, it is believed. Just as anyone who believes that the path to the opening of three mandates for those who govern the regions is mistaken is through the election day decree, approved by the Council of Ministers in recent days with the green disc at 3′, at least according to the ‘climate ‘ which reigns in the FDI rounds’ for mayors of small municipalities: «It cannot be changed in the parliamentary process by opening it up to regional presidents – explains a minister with weight in the FDI quota -. The League knows this very well because the ‘i’s have been dotted. Clear agreements and long friendship.”
