Basilicata, the CSX regroups: Pd and M5s say yes to the agreement on Piero Marrese
An agreement has been reached by the coalition formed by Pd, M5s, Avs and socialists, on the candidacy for the presidency of the Basilicata Region of Piero Marrese (Pd), current president of the Province of Matera. The choice of Marrese came at the end of a table convened in Potenza and which lasted several hours.
After the resignation of Domenico Lacerenza, the ophthalmologist wanted by M5S and Pd to try to keep the progressive coalition together, there is still no unity around a unifying name in Basilicata. Angelo Chiorazzo, founder of the civic-Catholic movement Basilicata Casa Comune proposed himself, thanks to the support of a good portion of Dem representatives – including the former governor Filippo Bubbico – and numerous administrators and club secretaries.
But it is a choice that does not take into account the veto placed on him by the 5 Star Movement. This is why this morning the Democratic Party and the other partners of the center-left met and proposed yet another candidate who could perhaps keep the coalition together, the president of the Province of Matera Piero Marrese.
With him there would be the Democratic Party – excluding the dissidents who are already with Chiorazzo – the 5 stars and the Green Left Alliance, within which however the position of the ecologist councilor of the Municipality of Matera Giuseppe Digilio stands out, who has publicly expressed himself in favor of the entrepreneur of the non-profit. In the middle is the position of Action, which will meet this afternoon to define what to do.
This morning in Potenza the national leader Carlo Calenda, while returning to deprecate the Schlein-Conte line – “a shameful spectacle” – and while denouncing the difficulties in contact with Schlein – “he doesn't answer my phone” – effectively left open all the streets. He once again expressed appreciation for the President of the Region Vito Bardi, of Forza Italia, who he defined as “a good person, cultured, liberal and pro-European”. However, he also said that he wanted to try until the end, “out of responsibility”, to reach an agreement with the other opposition partners to the national and regional government.
