Few mayors elected in the first round. An avalanche of ballots, with 5stars ringalluzziti from Rome and Bologna – Religious Information Service

From the summary of the results of the local elections of June 5, emerge some data “structural”: decrease of the voters, but to a lesser extent than expected; no mayor elected in the first round in the big cities, which will then on the ballot in two weeks; disruption of the two-party center-right-center with the entry of a third party – the Movimento5Stelle – in some of the most important challenges, starting with Rome where the candidate grillina showed a real exploits

Decline of the voters, but to a lesser extent than expected; no mayor elected in the first round in the big cities, which will then on the ballot in two weeks; disruption of the two-party center-right-center with the entry of a third party – the Movimento5Stelle – in some of the most important challenges, starting with Rome where the candidate grillina showed a real exploit. These are the “structural” data emerging from the summary of the results of the local elections of June 5. A round that has affected more than a quarter of the electorate (13,301,765 potential voters) and well in 1342 municipalities, including 7 regional capitals and 25 provincial capitals. Impossible, then, to account also summarizes this complexity, especially as the very high number of civic lists, about 4 thousand, sometimes makes it problematic the same classification of the various actors in the field. Complexity that locally it is still a worthwhile wealth of interest and analysis, even if when they are at stake cities like Rome, Milan or Naples the public eye are inevitably focused on them.
But the first value to consider is that voter turnout: voted on average 62.14% of voters against 67.42 earlier. Affects the trend in sharp contrast to the vote Rome : 57,19% compared to 52,81 municipal earlier. An increase that is hard not to relate with the boom of the 5stars, whose candidate – Virginia Rays – got 35.25 of the votes. Very detached, the candidate of the Democratic Party, Roberto Giachetti, who, with his 24.87% still will go to ballot. Worth noting is the 20,64% of Giorgia Meloni (Brothers of Italy and the League) and 10.97 of Alfio Marchini (also supported by Forza Italy.)
A Milan has prevailed measures the candidate of the center, Giuseppe Sala (41.70%) that have been drawn on the ballot with Stefano Parisi (40,78), all supported by the deployment of the center, appearing together in Milan. The outgoing mayor of Naples , Luigi De Magistris, has reached 42.82% share with its constellation of the left lists and his challenger will be the candidate of the center, Gianni Lettieri (23.98% ), which has blown the place in the ballot at the Democratic Party candidate, Valeria Valente (21.15%).
Even at Turin and Bologna the outgoing mayors, both of the center, will face a second competition. In Turin, Piero Fassino (41.83%) will be measured with Chiara hanger of Movimento5Stelle, the ballot with 30.92% of the vote. In the capital of Emilia, Virginio Merola (39.46%) will have to antagonist Lucia Borgonzoni (22,27%), joint candidate of the center. The ballot also the outgoing mayor of Trieste , Roberto Cosolini (center left), but with its 29,22% who will have to chase the challenger of the center, Roberto Dipiazza, which stood at 40.81%. A Cagliari , however, the first center of the city has managed to be elected in the first round: Massimo Zedda has obtained 50.86% of votes, the candidate of the center pulling Piergiorgio Massidda ( 32.26%).
If these were regional capitals, including the provincial capitals are four municipalities that do not have to wait until June 19 to have the new mayor. In both cases it is a confirmation: a Rimini Andrea Gnassi (center) has been re-elected with 56.99%; He did likewise in Cosenza Mario Occhiuto (center) with 58,95%. Elected in the first round the mayor of Salerno : This is Vincenzo Napoli (center) who rose up to 70.49% stake. A Villacidro , the capital of the Sardinian province of the Middle Campidano, Martha Cabriolu (Civic center-right) is enough for the 41.37% since the municipality has fewer than 15 thousand inhabitants and then he voted with majoritarian “dry.”
in the other capitals will then go to the ballot: a Benevento between Raffaele del Vecchio of the center-left and centrist Clemente Mastella; Brindisi between Fernando Marino of the center and centrist Angela Carluccio; Carbonia between Joseph Casti of the center and Paola Massidda of 5stars; Caserta between Charles Marino and Riccardo Ventre of the center of the center; Crotone Rosanna Barbers between the center and Ugo Pugliese (Civic Party); Grosseto between Antonfrancesco Vivarelli Colonna (center) and Lorenzo Mascagni of the center; Isernia between Giacomo D’Apollonio (right) and Gabriele Melogli (center); Latina between Nicola Calandrini (right) and Damiano Coletta (Civic Party); Novara between Alexander Canelli (right) and Andrea Ballarè (center); Olbia between Charles Careddu of the center and Seventh Nizzi of the center; Pordenone between Alexander Ciriani (center) and Daniela Giust (center); Ravenna between Michele Pascale Massimiliano Alberghini of the center and center-right; Savona between Cristina Battaglia (center left) and Ilaria Caprioglio (center); Varese between Paul and David Galimberti Orrigoni of the center of the center.
