Where Can I Wear My Leotard

rerun CHALLENGE

Rosario Pesce

The election since last June 6 and 7 it was certainly exciting for the Centre-Left forces, both at the national level, that in our Comune. Data per scontata la vittoria del Centro-Destra, si ipotizzava che il Mezzogiorno d’Italia desse un segnale forte, penalizzando il partito del Presidente del Consiglio ed invece proprio le regioni del Sud continentale hanno premiato il P.D.L., evitando che questo turno di elezioni europee segnasse una disfatta per la formazione berlusconiana, fortemente penalizzata altrove dai successi della Lega Nord e del Movimento Autonomistico di Lombardo.
A Mercato San Severino, in vista delle elezioni comunali, si ipotizzava, prima del voto, il ballottaggio, che non è stato raggiunto, vista la vittoria al primo turno dell’Amministrazione uscente, con una percentuale che, di poco, ha superato il 60%.
È un risultato, questo, che appare indeed disastrous, but that hides the keys to understanding very complex. First, for the first time since 1995, the mayor, John Romano, therefore fewer votes (about two hundred) of the lists with him, testifying to the fact that the copious consent, which he holds, is derived more from fifteen years of management of power, not by a genuine and spontaneous enthusiasm of the mass, which - to look good squares, on the occasion of meetings in the month of the campaign - winning the nomination of more Ansalone. The latter, meanwhile, scored eight hundred votes in fact more of his lists, which shows strong their popularity, that he is able to collect among his fellow citizens. This is the first time since there is a new process for the election of the mayor, that the challenger gets a percentage (30%) as high as a further proof that the game - even if, then, lost by a wide margin - was actually played by the band of the minority. These data therefore suggest a moderate caution in reading the possible near future of our community: 30% approval rating, received from Ansalone, is the starting point for the defeated candidate for mayor, that he, along with four directors elected from its mailing lists to keep alive the opposition council action, comparing daily sia con quanti lo hanno sostenuto, che con quella parte di opinione pubblica locale che, non convintamente, ha votato Romano e che, nei prossimi mesi ed anni, potrebbe cambiare orientamento, in presenza di un segnale di forza e di vitalità da parte della minoranza.
Inoltre, l’opposizione comunale deve tenersi pronta, perché le scadenze elettorali, a breve, non mancano: fra dodici mesi si voterà per il rinnovo del Consiglio Regionale della Campania e Mercato San Severino dovrà, nelle liste del P.D. e del Centro-Sinistra, esprimere un proprio candidato che, autorevolmente, rappresenti il fronte di forze civiche che, quest’anno, hanno sostenuto al Comune Ansalone: vorrà quest’ultimo, di nuovo, misurarsi with the elections in the spring of 2010? He would, of course, the ideal candidate, because his election would allow renewed effort to protect and lock down the consensus reached, preventing other - from the right - can make treacherous forays into his electorate, which - in the case of application of that Ansalone , to Regional - should instead be to consolidate and grow, even more, around his figure. We would like to conclude this intervention, taking the words of Massimo D'Alema, who, in reference to the health of the national executive, said: "The Italian will be aware of each other in the coming months of shock, moments of conflict, difficulty, even unpredictable, requiring an opposition capable of taking responsibility of government. "Perhaps, what D'Alema believes it is possible for the Government may rely, to a more modest level, even for the new Municipal Administration of Mercato San Severino?
