Strong ethical principles and a face known to the general public. About a month after the presentation of the lists, the race towards the European elections becomes a race to grab the most glamorous candidate on the market. With a galloping abstentionism, the appeal of the individual remains a significant factor in attracting the curiosity of an increasingly changeable electorate. Especially in a round where individual preferences count, of course. And for the parties, struggling with internal programs and balances, that on the lists turns into a cosmetic operation with a crystal clear objective: to reach the most fascinating package of “external” names in the eyes of the citizens.
Antoci is M5S leader in the Isole constituency
Among television personalities, famous journalists and champions of civil commitment, the hunt for the pop name is unleashed. Faces, of course, but also stories and images that they carry with them. The twists of the last few hours come from the world of the fight against the mafia. With the champions of legality taking their places in the ranks of the different sides. The leader of the M5S Giuseppe Conte breaks the delay and announces the M5S leader in the Islands constituency live on social media: Giuseppe Antoci. The former president of Parco dei Nebrodi is ready to bring his strenuous battle against the mafia to the European Parliament. And again from Sicily, it is Cateno De Luca who launches another well-known, albeit hidden, face in the fight against organized crime into the electoral arena. Captain Lastthe former ROS officer who arrested Totò Riina, joins the mayor of Taormina in his anti-establishment challenge.
The name of Antonio Decaro is circulating in the dem house
On the same day, Carlo Calenda did not stand by and lined up for Action Sonia Alfano, daughter of the journalist murdered by the Sicilian mafia and former president of the Anti-Mafia Commission in Strasbourg. Forza Italia, on the other hand, is apparently thinking of the magistrate Alessandra Chinnici, daughter of the murdered judge Rocco Chinnici. For her it would be the third European legislature, after those spent in the Democratic Party. And the name of is circulating right in dem’s house Antonio Decaro, the mayor of Bari also recognized by the opposing side as an “anti-mafia mayor”. Among the Democrats, Decaro is not the only hypothesis to give a face to the commitment against the mafias. There would also be the name of Sandro Ruotolojournalist under guard after receiving threats from the Casalesi clan.
Salerno derby between Annunziata and Santoro?
For the Dems, he would not be the only television personality on the list: his candidacy as leader of the list is ever closer Lucia Annunziata. Which would open an all-Salerno derby on the left with another protagonist of the Rai studios: Michele Santoro. He is already at the top of his “Peace Earth Dignity” list, which can also count on the popularity of the cartoonist Vauro Senesi. Ready to leave the newspaper columns for a European seat too Marcus Tarquinius. Together with his name, for a place at the top of the list the Democratic Party also evaluates that of Cecilia Stradaformer president of Emergency, now on the front line with the NGO ResQ in rescuing migrants.
Salvini would like Vannacci on the lists
Civil commitment is the feature of the candidacy that opened the competition between the parties for the most popular face: that for the Green and Left Alliance of the former mayor of Riace Mimmo Lucano . Whose battle has divided public opinion. Almost as much as the general’s writings have done in more recent times Roberto Vannacci , which Matteo Salvini would like on the League lists. A decidedly new face, which in the center-right would compete with several old political glories. In the corridors of Montecitorio the names of, among others, bounce around Lorenzo Cesa, Clemente Mastella e Letizia Moratti.
