Puglia

Giuseppe Alberto Falci

After weeks of internal opposition to the center, was completed "telenevola" Puglia. Nichi Vendola won with over 70% of the vote over his rival Francesco Boccia in the challenge to win the nomination for President of the Region. Approximately 192,000 people voted for the primary center in Puglia. The figure is the final published by the Pd Puglia. Those who voted in Puglia in the primaries of the Democratic Party last October 25 when Pierluigi Bersani was chosen as secretary of the party were about 170,000. Instead, they were 79,296 participants in the primaries of 2005 when for the first time Nichi Vendola had the better of Frank Boccia in choosing the presidential candidate of the center for the region Puglia.

What has happened in recent months in Puglia? Let's take a brief history of the facts. In August the reappointment of Vendola was good and reliable. During the feast of the Tarantella, Massimo D'Alema was clear: "Nichi is our candidate." Then, the meetings of late summer, between Casini and D'Alema, began to leak something. At that point, the application of Vendola was hanging on the outcome of the primaries in October. Evins as the motion is Bersani's victory would mean the research alliance with the UDC, the formation of a new "Union." Bersani won. He began to talk of alliances ahead of the Regional March. Casini was immediately clear: "Either with us or with Vendola. ED'Alema proposed Michele Emiliano, who was elected mayor of Bari in June with the support of the UDC. Emily immediately poses a problem: he would not resign as mayor of Bari Therefore, the Region asked a sneaky ad personam to resolve the node resignation. The Region and the local Democratic Party rejected the sender's request. But at the same time Vendola not let go, aware of its strength and el consent. It came to a compromise between Pd and Vendola: do the primaries. As soon as you said the word "primary", Michele Emiliano retired the application and returned to play the position of mayor. The national leaders of the Democratic Party gave an exploratory mandate to Francesco Boccia to find a broad coalition around his candidacy. Boccia UDC so pleased that you went ahead on this line. But Vendola never thought to remove the noise and leave room for Boccia. So, between primary and Boccia Vendola, just like 5 years ago when Vendola won by a margin of 1600 votes. This is the chronicle.

Now what will the Democratic Party? There are two possible scenarios. First scenario: three-way race. What do you mean? The Democratic Party will run with Vendola, the UDC will support Poli Bortone, the PDL and Rocco Palese (man Raffaele Lease). According scenario: two-horse race. Vendola will support the Democratic Party and for the happiness of the PDL, the UDC's candidacy avallerà Palese. The first scenario is the most likely and the most favorable to the Democratic Party. Why? The report says that the Poli Bortone, a former mayor of Lecce and militant of Alleanza Nazionale, was rejected by the national and local leaders of the PDL for personal reasons per se. Poli Bortone by the candidacy of the Democratic Party would benefit only because his electorate is the same as the PDL. Hence, if the first scenario Vendola's victory would be reasonable. Second scenario is the same five years, on the one hand we Vendola the other, instead of Fitto, Rocco Palese. I would say: what a mess.
