Meloni christens the alliance with the South calls the North: «Mayors who are heroes of politics»

The tribute to the mayors "heroes of politics, an outpost of humanity", the reference to the South as a strategic asset of the country, the value of the maritime economy, the "all-out fight against organized crime" as an "absolute priority". Giorgia Meloni intervenes via video link at the assembly of South calls North, the formation of Cateno De Luca, mayor of Taormina, who will lead the civic list called to support the centre-right coalition in the next political elections.

The yellow on the voting date

By announcing the start of the convention in a post, De Luca himself set the date of the vote that has been questioned so much in recent weeks. «Later - he writes - you will know the sole spokesperson chosen tonight for the Mayors of Italy-South calls North project and you will also see the symbol of the list that will see us protagonists in the next political elections of 9 and 10 May 2027». It's a shame that no one at the moment has officially circled those two days in red, despite the fact that in the last few days the idea of ​​holding polls in May has been hypothesized as concrete.

Strengthening the center of the coalition

The prime minister's message is, in any case, the official baptism for the move, immediately renamed anti-Vannacci: Meloni's hope is in fact to recover from 1.5% to 2.5% of the votes thanks to the alliance between South calls North and the Mayors of Italy led by Ernesto Magorno. Precisely the consensus which, according to the polls, could help the centre-right to further exceed that 42% which with the new electoral law gives the right to the majority bonus without taking on General Roberto Vannacci. And regaining part of the votes eroded by the League and Forza Italia, looking above all at the South.

«Italy is governed by territories»

«South calls North aims to put common sense back at the center of political practice», summarizes Meloni. «Your contribution to our project has a particular value, because Italy is governed by the territories: the stronger their voice, the more united, strong and competitive our Italy will be».

A maneuver of "choices, not rain-fed funds"

The reference to the budget law passed yesterday by the Council of Ministers is inevitable. "We didn't distribute funds like crazy, we made choices", guarantees the prime minister, who cites the measures in favor of the young and the elderly and the refinancing of the tax credit for the single SEZ of the South, whose endowment rises to 2.4 billion.
