The ‘fatal Verona’ rewards former footballer Damiano Tommasi and condemns the center-right in the 2022 municipal elections. football jargon. Defeated in Verona, but also in Parma, Piacenza, Alessandria, Catanzaro. And many are defeats at home, after the first round that saw the candidates cast by Forza Italia, Lega and Fratelli d’Italia ahead, too often in no particular order.
As in Verona, where the candidate of Forza Italia, Tosi made the outgoing mayor Sboarina miss his votes, who slammed the door in his face after the request for semblance. “Now we need an immediate reunion of the center-right, to analyze the results,” said Licia Ronzulli, senator of Forza Italia and national manager for relations with allies. For Berlusconi’s loyalist, the result in Verona “was not unexpected, when Sboarina refused the appearance it became clear what would happen, 24% of the votes were given up, we did not give a show of seriousness and unity”.
Verona is the defeat that burns the most, a symbol of the center-right that does not even join the ballot. For the center-right, the victories in Barletta and Gorizia remain a meager consolation. Even in Monza there is the risk of giving way. The open wound remains that of the city of Verona. For Giorgia Meloni’s right arm, Ignazio La Russa, “it was a mistake by Sboarina and Tosi not to be able to agree in the ballot with semblance or official support”. But he adds: “The real mistake was made in the first round when only the Brothers of Italy and the Lega supported the outgoing mayor while Forza Italia wanted to break up to support Tosi who then didn’t even get to the ballot”.
For the Fdi group leader in the Chamber, Francesco Lollobrigida ” the political data of these administrative offices has already existed for us, it is the one achieved in the first round, we are calm ”. Words spoken before the ballot reveals the knockout of the alliance. “Unfortunately, at times, the results of the allies have been less brilliant than we hoped – he puts his hands on -. Despite everything, Fdi has never lacked its support for the candidates proposed by the center-right, both in the first and second round. , without ever making controversies that could damage the center-right race ”.
