From Airaudo to Fassina, the ‘left’ left does not penetrate – The Republic

Rome – From Giorgio Airaudo in Turin Stefano Fassina in Rome. By Basil Rizzo in Milan Federico Martelloni in Bologna. The “left left” alternative to the Democratic Party does not pit the screen and does not achieve the desired results. Everyone expected something more. No one, apart Martelloni, managed to exceed 5%, a “symbolic” threshold that would make sense of a good start. Not worth even more militancy in the trade unions, as in the case of Airaudo former secretary Fiom in the city of Fiat. “For years now – says Airaudo , Italian Left Turin candidate – that the votes of trade unions does not overturn the parties. Personally, I am a little ‘disappointed, I expected something more of 14 thousand votes taken (equal 3, 70%, ed ). of course it’s a start, but it’s a bit ‘lame. in Turin there was a strong abstention and a good part of abstentions are votes lost by the Democratic party that we we were unable to intercept. we fought alone with his bare hands – he concludes – but the space left there, the demand is strong but you have to build a credible and unified proposal at national level. ” Asked if YES on the ballot will support or not the Democratic Party incumbent Mayor Piero Fassino, Airaudo not responding: “I can not say right now. In the afternoon we will hold a press conference in which we will explain to all our strategy.”

Along the same lines also Fassina , a mayoral candidate in Rome, which has stood at 4.4%: “a discontinuity demand is there but we could not divert our proposal dissent Renzi, who instead has M5s moved on. ” Remains absolutely convinced of the Italian Left and the assumption of project support or not the candidate of the Democratic Party Roberto Giachetti the last word is up to the assembly of the party.

Basilio Rizzo , who with his list Milan Shared has reached 3.56% of the vote, “the left there.” The president of the lombatdo capital City Council, sponsored by the Mayor Giuliano Pisapia uscende and representative of the PRC and civatiani, is satisfied with the fourth place: “A significant part of the electorate Milan was not recognized in the twin nominations of managers”. As the ballot, Rizzo adds that the candidate of the Democratic Party Giuseppe Sala “our vote will have to earn it. On the ballot you must offer programs that can meet the expectations of a large slice of the population. We will stay to listen to the proposals: we are not a priori against the rule.

in Bologna civic Coalition , the list on the left of the Democratic party backed by a part of Sel after the breakup of vendoliani with the junta Virginio Merola, will not do” agreements or accordicchi “with dem ahead of the runoff between the incumbent mayor and the League Lucia Borgonzoni. To say it is the mayoral candidate Federico Martelloni , more than satisfied the 7% achieved. Professor of labor law at Alma Mater is cautious on the second round: “We will discuss it, ours is not an electorate on the political market, our 12,000 votes, are not a package that move.” There is no doubt that “a stellar distance separates us from the populist right-wing Northern League – continues giuslavorista- we have no mulla to do with the Democratic Party Renzi and Merola, with the party of the nation”. it will not work, therefore an agreement and “we will not give voting instructions”, continues Martelloni. But “we will discuss what to do – he adds – as our brothers from Barcelona, ​​because there are no men in command.” It’s up to the board, the assemblies and actually have consolidated in the neighborhoods during the campaign make the final decision.
