do not take it Piero Fassino to win the election in the first round. According to data from 409 sections of 919 votes counted, the outgoing mayor stops at 41.22 percent, while the challenger of the Movement 5 stars Chiara hanger stands at 31.45 percent. The ballot, which for many supporters of Fassino is a surprise, is emerging as a reality almost official.
Fassino, “The crisis has led to disaffection”
The mayor has decided to follow the counting locked in his office at town hall. With him his wife, a few close friends and a few staff members who worked on his campaign. Late at night a brief comment: “Let us go with confidence to the second round, where he will share from 40%. We turn with confidence to Turin, asking for a vote as we did here: Turin, not to interrupt the path of innovation that has enabled the city to withstand the crisis and engage the recovery. ” And again: “The rating reflects a social crisis that in recent years has been felt in Europe, in Italy, of course, in big cities. A social crisis that has led to a greater disaffection vote. ‘
hanger, “A historic achievement ‘
“it is a historic achievement, were 15 years that this city was not on the ballot. It’s a great result, we have been working in the territory. ” He said the mayor of Turin nominated for the 5 Star Movement, Chiara hanger, which will challenge the incumbent mayor in the runoff of the Democratic Party Piero Fassino. “The strength of our campaign are the people, we all worked together, and this is only the first result. We still have fifteen days together to try to win the election, this is our goal. There will be no apparentamento. We will talk about themes for the city. We introduce ourselves to our program. We like challenges. I think that Torino has been administered for decades by the same force, and it needs a new driving force. L ‘listening’ our trump card, the citizens want concrete things and not political discourse. ”
Net decrease of voters
Even the turnout, strongly declining, and not significantly affect positively, according to politicians close to Fassino, on the outcome of the elections. Abstention could have affected more the outgoing mayor the candidate grillina. In 2011 in Turin he had voted 66.53 percent of eligible voters. In this election the percentage is 57.19. The fact that we vote only on Sunday (in 2011 also went to the polls on Monday), and whether it’s a day that ends a long bridge, that of June 2, according to Esposito could not justify the influx decline so sharply . “If anyone wants to go to vote, finds a way to do it, ‘says the senator. But there is also, he said in the election committee, “a matter Pd”. If not only in Turin, but also in the rest of Italy, the candidates of the Democratic Party will take fewer votes than expected, it could open an internal reflection at the party. Surely the fact that the hanger has taken more than 30 percent, is a given unexpected for many militants.
The hanger surprise
The candidate of the Movement 5 stars , who along with leaders Luigi Di Maio had failed to fill the Piazza San Carlo at his final rally last Sunday and has been called by many shy and not very effective during election rallies, now proves to be a formidable candidate. Could be decisive, in the runoff, the choices we make citizens in this first round gave the vote to Giorgio Airaudo – promoter of the so-called “punishment vote” against Fassino, which does not exceed 4 percent – and the main candidate of the center, Alberto Morano. The man chosen by the League but appreciated by a good part of the moderate bourgeois liberal city gets over eight percent.
