The center-right will try to close the dossier tomorrow on the candidate in Liguria to oppose the former minister of the Democratic Party, Andrea Orlando. The issue should be on the table, according to parliamentary sources of the majority, of a meeting – possible in the evening – between the leaders of the coalition. Already in the last summit Giorgia Meloni, Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini discussed the electoral campaign for the next regional elections, the intention in the alliance would be to take stock, even if it is not certain that it will arrive at a white smoke.
At the moment there are two most credible candidacies, that of Ilaria Cavo, relaunched by Noi moderateti and on which there is also the convergence of Fratelli d’Italia, and that of the Lega Nord’s Edoardo Rixi, deputy minister at the MIT. The latter at the Fdi party held yesterday evening in Beverino (La Spezia) explained that he considers himself a militant and that he is available to enter the field if the decision in this direction were to be given birth by the entire alliance, starting with Prime Minister Meloni. But the polls in Liguria risk intersecting with the next electoral appointments, because the Lega would aim for a candidacy without a ‘quota’, to avoid definitively closing the doors to Luca Zaia in Veneto, a region however ‘reserved’ by Fdi for Senator Luca De Carlo. “We need to hurry”, the thesis of the ‘ex Lombards’.
FI and Fdi would not rule out supporting Rixi but only if the League were to openly propose the candidacy. And so the game would still be open. If the conditions for Rixi to enter the field were not created, the party of via Bellerio would focus on the deputy mayor of Genoa, Pietro Piciocchi. “Rixi is an excellent candidate, if it is not him then – said the former president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti – the person who has the greatest trust of the citizens must present himself, the polls say it is Cavo”. Who said she is ready to do her part. The time for choices has come.

Liguria Regional Elections: The Battle for the Center-Right Candidacy
The center-right coalition in Italy is gearing up to finalize its candidate to oppose former Democratic Party minister Andrea Orlando in the upcoming regional elections in Liguria. According to parliamentary sources, a meeting is scheduled for the evening to discuss the electoral campaign and potential candidates [[1]].
Currently, there are two prominent candidacies being considered: Ilaria Cavo, supported by Noi moderati and Fratelli d’Italia, and Edoardo Rixi, deputy minister at the MIT and backed by Lega Nord [[1]]. Rixi has expressed his availability to run if the decision is made by the entire alliance, starting with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni [[1]].
However, the Lega Nord is pushing for a candidacy without a ‘quota’ to keep the doors open for Luca Zaia in Veneto, a region ‘reserved’ by Fdi for Senator Luca De Carlo [[1]]. The Fdi party is keen to “hurry” and make a decision, according to the ‘ex Lombards’ thesis [[1]].
This development comes on the heels of a recent regional council meeting in Liguria, where a motion of no confidence in the current regional council president, Toti, was rejected with 18 votes against [[2]].
The regional elections in Italy are crucial, as they can influence national politics and party dynamics. A study on the 2020 regional elections in Italy highlights the significance of sub-national politics and the impact of political participation and party support on electoral outcomes [[3]].
Furthermore, economic insecurity has been linked to electoral outcomes, as a study on municipal elections in Italy reveals that economic hardship can sway voters’ preferences [[4]]. This underscores the importance of addressing economic concerns in the electoral campaign.
As the center-right coalition navigates its candidacy options, the Liguria regional elections are shaping up to be a critical battleground. With the polls set to intersect with the next electoral appointments, the stakes are high, and the outcome could have far-reaching implications for Italian politics.
