The center-right remains at the helm of Basilicata. In a vote marked by strong abstentionism (49.8% at the polls), Vito Bardi obtained reconfirmation with a wide lead over Piero Marrese, on whom the center-left banked after a series of reverses.
The count, which began slowly, takes away the crown of the most voted party from the M5s , which had exceeded 20% in the 2019 regional elections and the 2022 general elections and now sees its support more than halved (around 8%).
The center-right data sees FdI leading the way (17.39%), followed by FI which reaches double figures (13.01%), the threshold below which the League remains (7.81%) followed by Action (7.51%) .
Compared to Policies, the Democratic Party also drops (13.87%), which also pays for strategic errors and in the coming months will have to deal with the complicated relationship with Giuseppe Conte's Movement, which closes at 7.66%.
«I sincerely thank all the citizens who wanted to confirm their support for our policies - rejoices Giorgia Meloni -. Your trust is the engine that drives us forward every day." His party ironically speaks of the "Monologue Effect in Basilicata" , with a reference to the Scurati case : "They didn't see us coming because they were busy rereading the famous monologue." "Great satisfaction" comes from the League, for "yet another major success of the united centre-right". But above all from FI: «The united center-right won. The Lucanians who chose to support our Good Government for another 5 years won", the tweet from Antonio Tajani, who managed to convince the allies to once again focus on the former general of the Financial Police who obtained the investiture in 2019 by Silvio Berlusconi.
«It is a great responsibility that I feel towards all of them, even towards the Lucanians who did not vote for me or who did not go to the polls. I will continue to be everyone's President", the governor's message.
