On the one hand Marco Bucci, the outgoing mayor who seeks confirmation already in the first round, on the other Ariel Dello Strologo, the candidate of the ‘wide field’ that Enrico Letta likes so much, who started with a large disadvantage in popularity and aims at the ballot . The vote for the municipal councils in Genoa is summarized in this photograph that portrays the manager with American backgrounds lent to politics, the man who does, who screams, a pragmatist and a calm-mannered lawyer, president of the local Jewish community. There are 7 candidates and 19 lists playing the game, but for the role of mayor the challenge is only between Bucci and Dello Strologo. The others are Mattia Crucioli, former M5s senator now in Alternative there is, with the United for the Constitution list, Cinzia Ronzitti former clerk, candidate for the Communist Workers’ Party, Antonella Marras, employee, supported by Rifondazione, PCI and anticapitalist Left , the independent entrepreneur Carlo Carpi (Mayor Carpi – Together for Genoa) and the no vax Martino Manzano with the Movimento 3V list (Vaccini, we want truth).
But in Genoa, the city of Beppe Grillo who never met in the election campaign, it will not be just an administrative challenge. The results of the vote in the city of the Lantern also have political value. Here the health of the progressive camp is measured, here the Democratic Party has renounced the idea of the self-sufficient party and is the weaver of a network that, in addition to the 5 Stars, holds together the Italian Left of Nicola Fratoianni and the socialists of Enrico Maraio. In short, that inclusive line-up that Letta hopes will win next year’s policies. Here are the eyes focused on the centrism carried out by the governor Giovanni Toti with his list and then there are the grafts in the civic lists of the mayor Bucci (he has two, Vince Genova and Genova Domani) of exponents of Italia viva and Action. Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda explained the choice by saying that it is not a question of joining a political project, but of support for the ‘mayor of doing’. These lists could turn out to be the first party within the center-right, relaunching Toti’s centrist project and questioning the structured parties. In recent weeks the derby atmosphere in the grid has been breathed even if it has been masked with the philosophy ‘it counts to win in the first round’.
The challenge between Bucci and Dello Strologo is also the challenge between two visions of the city. The outgoing mayor, who tore the city to the left for the first time in 2017, focuses on infrastructure, green mobility and a smart city. “We got the city moving again after 25 years,” he says. He is the man of the bridge rebuilt in record time. But the opponents tell him that he has no merit because this was possible with the Genoa decree of the Conte 1 government.
Dello Strologo says that Bucci speaks only to a part of the city, he stays with those who make it, while the discomfort has increased, there is no social councilor and young people flee the city. “Wealth must be shared with everyone,” he says.
Bucci replies: “To do it first it must be created, they are the party of no”. The latest polls gave him the lead with a possible victory in the first round. Dello Strologo feels that he is recovering and says: “The ballot is almost a certainty, let’s take the city back”. The challenge can be influenced by the choice of the 50% who stayed at home five years ago: a maxi party that can make the difference. (HANDLE).
