Liguria, Bucci defeats Orlando and is crowned governor. Loud slap to the left –

The victory is a narrow one, not Giovanni Toti’s 53.4% ​​of 2020, but after the judicial storm last summer which led to the resignation of the former president, the center-right is celebrating the election of Marco Bucci, as something historic . The head-to-head with the centre-left candidate Andrea Orlando lasts for a few hours, then Bucci stands at 48.7% and it is 8pm when the mayor of Imperia and former minister Claudio Scajola announces the candidate’s “certain victory”, which arrives with a few thousand votes of difference.

The first good wishes for the newly elected do not come from the majority representatives, but from Matteo Renzi who takes the opportunity to celebrate Giuseppe Conte’s defeat. Then the words of Matteo Salvini who rejoices on TV: “The Ligurians have chosen and they have chosen well, against everything and everyone – says the deputy prime minister, leader of the League -. Did I expect it? I hoped so, but it was difficult between arrests, bizarre headlines about the mafia, a devastating judicial and media campaign, but the work will end like this, it’s a reward for the work not of me but of many.” For the Transport Minister “this result is also the result of the good governance of the center-right and the work of Giovanni Toti” and, even if it had gone differently, “the government would have continued to work”.

“Once again, the united center-right has been able to respond to the citizens’ expectations – is the comment entrusted to social media by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – who confirm their trust in our policies and in the concreteness of our projects. With its leadership, Liguria will be able count on a capable and determined administrator, ready to work tirelessly for the good of all Ligurians”. “Forward, together – concludes the Prime Minister – with the same dedication that guides our action throughout Italy”. Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani speaks of “a great team victory, unexpected until a few months ago”, adding on X: “The centre-right’s Good Government wins!” Brothers of Italy, when the sections scrutinized are 1,679 out of 1,785, obtains 15% of the preferences: the prime minister’s party, despite the figure significantly lower than the 24% collected in the region in the elections two years ago, is first in the majority and second overall after the Democratic Party which leads everyone with 28.5%. What makes the difference in the center-right is the civic list for Bucci as president, at 9.4%, followed by the League at 8.5% and Forza Italia at 8.1%.

**Interview with Political‌ Analyst‍ Dr. Elena Rossi on Liguria’s Regional⁤ Election ‍Results**

**Interviewer:** Welcome, Dr. Rossi. ‌The recent election⁢ in Liguria saw Marco‌ Bucci, the center-right candidate, ⁤winning by a narrow ‌margin against Andrea‌ Orlando. How‌ significant is this victory for Giorgia Meloni and⁢ her coalition?

**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for ⁤having ⁤me. This ⁤victory is quite significant for Meloni and her coalition. Even though ‌the margin ⁤was ‍slim compared to the previous election led by Giovanni Toti, it’s⁢ a crucial win that bolsters the center-right’s‌ position in⁣ the region. Given the ‌backdrop of political turmoil⁣ and⁢ the judicial issues that plagued‌ the previous administration, this win is being interpreted‍ as⁢ a rebound‌ for the right.

**Interviewer:** Why do you think the election results had such a small margin this time?

**Dr. Rossi:**‌ There ‌are a few factors at play here. Firstly,⁣ the previous⁢ administration’s scandals created ⁢a climate of uncertainty and ⁤distrust ⁢among voters. Additionally, the⁣ opposition was able to effectively mobilize support, particularly from groups ⁤dissatisfied with the current ⁤government. Orlando’s ⁣strong presence in the ⁣campaign contributed to a tighter ‌race. This is indicative ​of a ‌more polarized political landscape, where every ⁤vote ⁣counts.

**Interviewer:** Matteo Salvini expressed his joy over the results, despite‌ the challenges faced‍ by the coalition. How do you interpret his comments about the election?

**Dr. Rossi:** Salvini’s remarks resonate ⁢with ⁤a sense of⁢ vindication for ​the center-right coalition. His ​statement reflects an effort​ to rally the base and reinforce the narrative ‍that their governance approach is being⁢ validated by the electorate.⁤ He acknowledges the⁤ difficulties they’ve faced, but framing the results as a reward ⁢for hard work is also ⁢a strategic move ⁢to maintain​ party morale and public support ⁣going forward.

**Interviewer:** What implications‍ does this result have⁢ for future elections in Italy?

**Dr.⁤ Rossi:** ​This election could ⁢signal a shift in ⁣the dynamics of future ‍political contests in Italy. It might inspire the center-right to push for ‍more ‌aggressive policies, leveraging their recent victory as ‍a mandate to implement⁣ their agenda. Conversely, the ⁤center-left will likely need‍ to‌ reflect ​deeply on their strategies to ‍regain trust and support,⁤ especially in⁣ regions where they previously held strong ‍influence.⁣ We may see a reconfiguration of alliances and strategies as the political landscape continues to evolve.

**Interviewer:** Thank you, ‌Dr. Rossi, for‍ your insights on this intriguing election‍ outcome in ‍Liguria.

**Dr. Rossi:** My ⁢pleasure! It’s ‍always enlightening to discuss the complexities of Italian politics.
