21 September 2020 The very clear victory of the Yes in the referendum and the draw torn almost to the 90th from the Regionals give breath to the government of Giuseppe Conte and to the majority.

Nicola

Zingaretti

defines the

Dems

as "winners" and the League as "a little defeated" and "all those who wanted to bring down the government".

Of course, some regrets remain: "If our allies had listened to us more we would have won almost everywhere", is the arrow he launches at the Five Stars, warning the pentastellati about future battles, from the Mes to the security decrees passing through the 209 billion of the Recovery Fund, to be conducted "by allies, not by adversaries".



The secretary Dem succeeds in the double undertaking of redesigning the internal balance of the majority and locking - at least for a while - its leadership in the Nazarene.

The "political path" that Zingaretti has in mind, if he succeeds in going forward, will lead to the right to contend for victory in the next political elections.

Or at least to be able to play the game.



The leaders of the center-right do not think so, who update the national budget of the regions they administer: "If the data are confirmed, from tomorrow the League and the center-right will be at the helm of 15 Regions out of 20!", Exults Matteo

Salvini

, who is however forced to record the second defeat (after that of Lucia Borgonzoni in Emilia Romagna) of one of his candidates, in this case Susanna Ceccardi in Tuscany, in what was considered by most to be the decisive challenge.

Not only.

The leader of the Carroccio cannot even claim too much the avalanche victory of Luca Zaia in Veneto, since the governor triples the consensus obtained by the League with his list.



"The national government comes out weakened, while the center-right is strengthened", says Giorgia

Meloni

confidently

, who underlines how the Brothers of Italy have increased their support.

The leader of FdI joins her Francesco Acquaroli in Ancona, who has torn the Marche from the center-left, but cannot toast with Raffaele Fitto in Puglia, where she hoped for victory also to give an internal message to the alliance.



In a crisis of consensus Forza Italia, which according to the data scrutinized dances around the double figure, considered - especially in the south - a minimum target.

Silvio

Berlusconi,

for obvious reasons, was unable to participate in the electoral campaign as he would have liked, but the analysis of the result does not allow for great excuses. 



The leader of IV, Matteo

Renzi, 

after having "suffered a lot" in the last few days, is enjoying Giani's victory in Tuscany.

"They were ready to massacre me for Eugenio", he confides to his family, exulting at the narrow escape.

"Salvini wanted to take Papeete's revenge in Tuscany, a year later. Operation failed! Today we celebrate!", He wrote on Twitter.

The percentages achieved by Iv, however, remain nailed to 2-3%. 



Finally, the 5-star Movement, which in fact does not play the Regional game and clings to the referendum result to claim a "historic" trophy.

"The M5S is the real engine of the change in this legislature", comments the leader Vito

Crimi

, who admits, as regards the regional, that the result "was lower than in the previous elections".

From tomorrow "the path for new challenges and objectives starts", promises the regent 5 Stars.

In the background remains the theme of reorganization and future leadership, while the wind of internal discontent blows strongly. 



The overwhelming affirmation of the Yes to the reform strongly desired by the M5S marks the return to the scene of the former political leader Luigi

Di Maio

, who speaks of a "historic result" and announces the beginning of a "great reform season" with the contribution of the majority and opposition: "Several forces gathered under the banner of No with the sole purpose of hitting the government and myself" but, the Farnesina holder remarked, the vote was a "boomerang" for those who cradled the dream of sending the executive home.
