The poll is open Puglia. The center-left started with a significant lead, thanks to deep-rooted territorial networks and a candidate known as Antonio Decaro. For the center-right, the challenge is to re-raise issues left unresolved by progressive governments: health care, infrastructure and administrative efficiency. It won’t be easy to undermine the granite-like certainty: The region presents itself as a kind of closed system, where renewal fights for space. And it is precisely this part Luigi Lobuono try to adapt.
Decaro becomes favorite (after turbulence)
The name of the center-left reference was Decaro, which became the coalition’s focus after back-and-forth tension which endangers unity. A deal was reached, however division they cannot be swept under the carpet. On the other hand, besides the former mayor of Bari, there is everything and the opposite of everything: the Democratic Party, the 5 Star Movement, the Green-Italian Left Alliance, For Puglia, president Decaro and Avanti Popular.
Decaro’s campaign does not aim to create shock effects. He spoke about sustainability, strengthening well-being, interventions in health services and infrastructure. In short, consolidate what already exists. But this method does not address the structural problems that Puglia has experienced for years. Starting from waiting lists to the difficulty of ensuring uniformity of services across regions, from slow administration to often inadequate infrastructure capacity. Problems that remain, despite years of government in the same political field.
Lobuono Alternative
Lobuono’s goal is to try to restore balance in Puglia which has been under the control of the progressive bloc for years. An entrepreneur, he knows the needs of industry intimately productive world and applying a practical approach to election campaigns, oriented towards efficiency and real change in key sectors. An uphill game, sure, but there’s one in his favor coalition solid: Fratelli d’Italia, Lega, Forza Italia and Noi Moderati.
Lobuono is proposing a serious change of pace, not a sudden one, aimed at upsetting the political balance that has persisted for too long. But in Puglia, where left-wing groups have consolidated their presence, the task is especially tough: it will not be easy to defeat left-wing structures candy very stable. But on its side it has a big plus: credibility. Now thereThe challenge is to turn it into consensus in a context that is already highly unequal to opposing sides. Because, behind Decaro’s image that guarantees continuity, Puglia remains a region that is waiting for concrete, modern and sharp solutions.
Donno, pacifist card
There’s Donno he was the candidate of the Puglia Pacifista e Popolare list, a formation that united subjects from the radical left, such as the Italian Communist Party, Potere al Popolo and the Risorgimento Socialists.
His proposals appear to be strong on issues of equality, social justice and rejection of the “classical” logic of power. However, in the reality of Puglia’s elections, the road is uphill: the main progressive coalition is pushing hard against Decaro, and Donno’s visibility is still marginal.
