“If the no wins or if the turnout is too low, I give up everything.” The center will play the official candidate in the race to the Capitol to “gazebarie”, the popular consultation organized in Rome by Forza Italy for today and tomorrow. And to set the bar of ten thousand voters under which to talk openly about flop to the point of getting to take a step back was the same Guido Bertolaso, the former head of Civil Protection, initially chosen by the three leaders of the center as the only candidate coalition. Numbers that, according to projections of the party, were routed.
For banquets optimism was already circulating the morning: “In my quota 30/40 thousand can be reached and on hand and even more,” he said around 14 Francesco Giro . “At 15 today were about 17,500 voters,” explained Renato Brunetta. Three hours later, the polls closed, the budget: “At 18 was estimated turnout among 29-31mila people”. Large numbers, for example, in La Storta where “the 14 who voted in 400″. “Someone will have been attracted to the sausage” rumored malignant, since the stand at the corner of Via Cassia has popped a free barbecue. It counts on the first doubts arise: in some polling stations was asked the document but no record for voters was not necessary. And if the left snubs the “gazebarie” avoiding themed declarations, Francesco Storace, candidate running for the right, to make matters worse: “The bales on voters do not last long.”
Shortly before one o’clock at the gazebo was also blunt the direct question, Bertolaso, at largo Goldoni “as a private citizen, it is the first gazebos I visit because until recently I was dealing with my wife, “he says, making himself portrayed alongside some local police,” those who work and ensure security in Rome. ” And who stops screaming the “I vote for you”, he replied: “Vote for Rome, not for me.” Followed by reporters to the center of Rome, in a sort of lecture on road maintenance, he adds: “I want to talk about the problems, the holes, the cobblestones, not politics.”
But the real show is Silvio Berlusconi, front facing before the stand of the Pantheon and then in that of largo Goldoni, next to the candidate, he arrived in the afternoon even at Conca D’Oro. “Bertolaso - said the former premier near the Pantheon – it’s a great opportunity for Rome.” “The other candidates are funny – he added – He is the only character that certain content in time and can change our city.” A city “reduced in an unacceptable degradation”. “It took me three months to convince Bertolaso, who is a man of action, to come to take care of our city,” said the leader of Forza Italy. “It is not a politician, a man of blah blah blah, is a champion. He immediately adopted a slogan in which we recognize that it is that of ‘zero’ tolerance. In a short time he put on a program and put on a good team”. Those of today, Berlusconi has made it clear, “are not gazebarie, they are the beginning of a process to make known to the Romans what he wants to do Bertolaso”. “I am convinced that he will win in the first round, the parties have nothing to do, he told me that he had never voted for Forza Italy, then in 2008 he met me and has changed my mind. It ‘and it must be the mayor of all candidate “he concluded the former prime minister, besieged by reporters and forzisti as Maria Rosaria Rossi, Antonio Tajani and Maurizio Gasparri. And then the Movement 5 Stars: “The Rays? A good lawyer but would not know where to start.” Last stored on the center-right allies: “They have asked the gazebo and then they are subtracted. The League in Rome is 1.4 per cent. I heard Meloni by phone and looks tell me what he wants to do.”
in the last hours, in fact, it reappeared off the name of the leader of the Brothers of Italy, sfilatasi by the announcement from the race, during the Family day, of her pregnancy. If Bertolaso exclude the ticket, Salvini from Milan withdraws at stake: “The Meloni is in my opinion the best possible candidate for Rome.” “They decide the Romans – he added – but I want a center that looks forward, not backward.”
In the center fracture seems unbridgeable. Matteo Salvini reiterates: “Bertolaso is not my candidate.” Brothers of Italy participates in gazebarie but points out, “it would have been preferable to a shift of the gazebo next to a new verification between the parties of the center to reassemble the coalition”. Alfio Marchini continues its race and tomorrow will be in Piazza del Popolo with the alternative initiative to gazebarie entitled “Roma nun you do friezes”. In the words of Francesco Storace, another mayoral candidate who will desert the polls, “the center-right seems the Airplane of the world, you never know when it ends the conflict.”
The Italian organizers, prepared by responsible local authorities of the party, Marcello Fiori, meanwhile debuted. They are little more than fifty gazebo mounted in each district of the city, from Prati in Ostia. The “on the road” the polls were open from 10 am to 18 today and will again tomorrow from 9.30 to 13.30. Over a thousand volunteers in the field.
On the four questions form a sort of referendum on Bertolaso; the setting-sharing program based on the slogan “zero tolerance”; support for the center-right values; and a list of 15 priorities for Roma rather general to choose from. They range from road maintenance
emergency house, lowering the safety of municipal rates. Also launched the hashtag: #RomaSeiTu.
Meanwhile, Irene Pivetti, one of the names to be probed Salvini, and Stefano De Lillo, have launched the association “Roma +”: “A laboratory of projects, ideas and plans action to make it livable, beautiful, modern and avant-garde our beloved city. Rome needs + love + + competence and participation. “
