Tommasi conquers Verona, from north to south the center-left wins in 7 cities out of 13

The center -left clearly wins the second round of the municipal elections , winning many of the main cities to vote in the ballot. The center- right holds in Lucca, Frosinone, Gorizia and Sesto San Giovanni , but the center -left prevails in Verona, Parma, Piacenza, Catanzaro, Monza, Cuneo and Alessandria . With results that mark history.

In Verona , for example, the center-right flag is lowered after 15 years , with Damiano Tommas I, a civic candidate supported by the Democratic Party and a former Roma and National football player who wins 53.34% of the votes. Sboarina, his opponent, stopped at 46.66%.

"I hope that people can take on the leading role in Verona - were Tommasi's first words - because the city deserves it. I hope to be part of this project in an important way". "This enthusiasm - added Tommasi, overwhelmed by the exultation of the supporters - is explained by the fact that it was not easy, and it will not be. But we got involved to do something that Verona had been waiting for for a long time. And we are ready too. to difficult things ".

THE RESULTS - The final results of the ballots therefore see seven mayors in the center-left , 4 in the center-right , 2 in the civic lists , of various orientations. With five municipalities that change administration from center-right to center-left (Verona, Monza, Alessandria, Piacenza and Catanzaro) and one from center-left to center-right (Lucca). Only two million voters were called to the polls in 65 municipalities (of which 13 were capitals): yet the electoral round held the major political forces with bated breath. And a signal to the parties certainly comes from the very low turnout, around 41.6%.

DEM SATISFACTION - A “full success”, the comment of the local authorities of the dem Francesco Boccia , director of many of the alliances that went on stage at the administrative offices: “We have far exceeded the results we hoped for”.

For Enrico Letta an “extraordinary result: we overthrow many center-right mayors and elect many mayors. The seriousness and linearity pay off. Against the right you can only win united ”.
