Who wins the administrative in Rome? «It depends on how much Calenda manages to intercept the vote coming out of the right. In the downtown neighborhoods I think it will be a significant flow. But I don’t know how the suburbs think. If Calenda goes to the ballot with Gualtieri he has a good chance of winning. And, net of the exuberance, it seems to me that it has the right characteristics to manage a complex city like Rome ». These words, spoken by the Northern League’s Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti in an interview with the press, upset the center-right alliance in the capital. Is Michetti the wrong candidate? “I do not know. But I know that the right candidate would have been Bertolaso ».
Salvini defends the candidates in the cities
The party secretary, Matteo Salvini, retorted shortly, defending the unitary choices: “Michetti and Bernardo will be excellent mayors for Rome and Milan”. According to the forecasts of the Development Minister in a possible runoff between Calenda and the opponent of the center-left Roberto Gualtieri, the former would have a “chance to win”, while in the event of a match between two Michetti-Gualtieri, it would be the second to win.

Michetti: a stab? He can say what he thinks
“Everyone is free to say what they think. I don’t know Giorgetti, I think I’ve never even met him. There is nothing wrong with saying what you think so much it is the citizens of Rome who decide, it is neither Giorgetti nor anyone else. On the other hand, frankness and intellectual honesty want this. So maximum respect for him and for his opinions ». This is the reaction of Enrico Michetti, the center-right candidate for mayor of Rome.
Tajani: Giorgetti campaigns in Varese
“Giorgetti is from Varese, not from Milan or Rome … let us Romans do the electoral campaign in Rome,” says Antonio Tajani, vice president of Forza Italia, leaving Palazzo Chigi, commenting on what was said by the Minister of the Carroccio. Silvio Berlusconi also confirms his trust in Michetti (in Forza Italia there has never been a lack of stomach ache on this candidate), according to whom he is “a professional of great quality, with considerable administrative experience and moderate training”.
Calenda thanks, the Democratic Party pushes Gualtieri
The Democratic Party draws reason for satisfaction from the endorsement of Giorgetti pro-Calenda. “One thing is clear: the voters who do not want to leave Rome to the right have only one name: Gualtieri,” tweeted the dem Enrico Borghi. “Giorgetti says I will beat Michetti, I prepare for this ballot with determination”, notes Gualtieri. The Democratic Party candidate, in extending his hand once again to the former mayor Ignazio Marino, replies on the alliances in the ballot with M5S (“Conte leads another party that has its own candidate. I don’t want to pull him by the jacket”, but certainly the government with him was “a significant experience. I will address the voters of the M5S and Calenda, but we will not make an appearance”). For his part, the leader of Action goes to cash without saving shots. “That Michetti is not adequate to govern Rome is increasingly evident to everyone.” And, turning to the Democratic Party, «the funny thing is that while they accuse me of being the candidate of the League for a professional appreciation of Giorgetti, they secretly (not too much) sign the pact with the 5S to bring them to the bar. Make this point clear to your constituents. ” The twitter account Calenda Mayor speaks of “separate voting invitations” in his favor. The reference is also to some candidates for dem councilors (municipal or municipal), expression of the dem minority, who are indicating the possibility of voting for the candidate Calenda. Claims that in the Democratic Party are dismissed as unfounded.
