It must be because of the crisis: in 2011, when winning the primaries was drugged Andrea Cozzolino dolphin Antonio Bassolino, one vote they bought five euro. Last Sunday, the seats of Scampia and San Giovanni, with the field Valeria Valente ( “Napoli It” slogan of his campaign), one vote is acquired in a round round €. Dumping in vote-buying signals at least an inherent devaluation of everything that revolves around the policy. And yesterday it turned out a video that captures even right-wingers in charge of the dem gazebo. Among the beggars who have sacrificed themselves for the cause under the wind is lashing Antonio Borriello, historian of the Democratic city councilman with the electoral college in San Giovanni in Teduccio and close friend of Totonno Bassolino.

He touched the privilege of joining in marriage the most beloved mayor by the Neapolitans and shortly thereafter member of PD Anna Maria Carloni. One unpleasant detail: this time Borriello sowed by a euro coin in the hands of mercenaries indoctrinated to support Valente. One of the many betrayals of these weeks, even more heartbreaking when we consider the rate of inbreeding of the Neapolitan Pd. Everyone, from Valente, have pedigree deputies to regional councils down. To divide to the primary was also Andrea Cozzolino and Anna Normal torque. Him with Valente (other patricide), his wife, daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, with Bassolino. United as one man remained the winner of the primaries, former councilor for Tourism and times of the city (a delegation that in Naples it sounds like a joke) with Iervolino mayor and her husband Gennaro Mola, who wanted to Rosetta St James’s Palace next to wife.

He touched her infamous role – were the years when it was raining garbage – the commissioner for Refuse collection. Valente, aside from party positions that exhibited in his curriculum vitae, was overshadowed by sfrantummati (spineless, ed), his fellow councilors who were rampant in the newspapers. Memorable joke Mola to Report in full of the waste. In the presence of 360 garbage collectors, arms folded, the commissioner muttered: “Of these deals with a municipal manager which also does so in a unique situation.” Inevitable flash back to the dark years of Naples: the political stories and deeds (so to speak) of which it is said these days are inextricably linked to that season. Now Valente despairs and says he does not dirty the primaries with “infamy” of the votes bought and sold. A climax that does not impietosirà Bassolino.

Nor is his coach, the Neapolitan political scientist Mauro Calise, the theorist of the dial that bears his name. There are four boxes: exchange, membership, opinion leaders and to vote. Just who fills all four at 51% wins an electoral contest, whatever it is. In ’93 Bassolino became mayor with a landslide to the leader. In the following years, like an hourglass, the slid consents to the exchange and membership boxes. Now the bad luck that plagues the former governor Valente offers the chance to not only win back the primaries, but to gnaw precious points to suitors for Palazzo San Giacomo race. Suddenly the voting box to the leader could swell as the dawn of his political career.

It does not serve the words of the rite ( “we want to delegitimize” said regional secretary of the Democratic Party Assunta Tartaglione) to stop the investigation opened by the prosecutor and the use of a victim Bassolino three times: his party, of fraud and stinging political defeats that carries on his shoulders curved as a marathon runner. Not even the most brilliant of the spin-doctor could sketch out a picture so full of symbols. “It’s an illicit trade, I am disgusted,” hissed the former mayor to his supporters. It seems the remake of 2011, when the suicide of fraud paved the way for De Magistris. An unexpected reversal up to twenty-four hours ago. On a roll on which no one would have bet a single euro of the many scores in front of the seats of the primaries: for the first time since he ran for mayor with a post on Facebook, the old Bassolino has the opportunity to play for the balloting.
