Elections, Emiliano: “Apulian Pd first in the South, winning agreement with M5s”
The comment of the president of the Puglia Region, Michele Emilianoto the results of election Sunday for Policies 2022who saw the flashy statement of Giorgia Meloni and of the “Brothers of Italy“, which dragged the center-right to victory.
“I congratulate the winners of this one election campaign and in particular a Giorgia Meloni – he has declared Emiliano – first woman to lead a party with a relative majority, to her coalition and to all the newly elected Apulian parliamentarians to whom I wish good work ”.
“At a first analysis of the vote – he reflected Emiliano – what we had largely foreseen happened: with an agreement at national level between PD And M5S we would have played a whole other game. In Puglia, where we govern the Region together, PD And M5S in the House they reach 50.45% of the votes, surpassing the united center-right which stands at 41.09%. We did not get the majority of seats in Parliament but, as the governing coalition of Puglia, we are holding firm the majority of the votes cast by the citizens “.
“The Pd Apulian, which in the previous parliamentary elections of 2018 took 13.68%, today it grows by 3.14 percentage points, reaching 16.82%. The M5S despite losing 16.98 percentage points compared to 2018, today it is the first party in Puglia with 27.96% of the votes “.
“The Pd Apulian with 16.82% records the best result among all the regions of Southern Italy – he underlined Emiliano – and this also applies to the coalition result of center-left. The fact that it is still below the national average is a constant of all political elections (2008, 2013, 2018), with the difference that in this election the Pd in Puglia it grows by 3.14% compared to the previous one “.
“In the Apulian colleges the Pd the result of 2018 improves and, among the cities where there is a greater growth, there are Lecce with 21.71% (2.5% more than the national figure, 4.94% more than the 2018 figure) and Bari reaches 19.33% “.
“By working daily together with the Pd and the M5SI can say – he reiterated Emiliano – that these two political forces are united by programmatic points, which have a progressive and democratic approach: to implement inclusive policies, capable of combining economic development and attention to the weakest sections of the population; carry out the energy transitiona particularly felt issue also with reference to decarbonisation of the former Ilva; overcoming the North-South gap as a key to relaunching the country. This joint work is already a reality in Puglia. I hope that through dialogue and discussion on the contents – he concluded Emiliano – a constructive path can also be started at the national level ”.
