Musumeci è il punto di equilibrio
We offer an article by Carlo Lo Re published the latest issue of the journal "Catania Report". "Both in Catania than in the rest of the island, the MEP can be very useful to balance the PDL axis Mpa-UDC. And in the background is more and more the need to import in Sicily" Brunette model.
It is now almost a month from administrative Sicilian, so you can make an initial assessment of their short-term. As you know, all parties Raffaele Lombardo and Pier Ferdinando Casini have got about 40% of the votes in Sicily, a fact that can hardly be indifferent to the People of Freedom Party, whose great power of the island is found less and less easy to manage. Why
be clear from the vote on 15 and 16 June revealed a very solid axle-UDC Mpa to about 40% of the vote. Obvious that many men are not at all the Pdl calm before the showdown and you're wondering what to do to balance alliance that every electoral test becomes increasingly attractive support.
Despite opposition from certain sectors of the National Alliance, in the PDL you are seriously thinking of making the organic relationship with Nello Musumeci, a leader in the recent race for mayor of Catania as seguitissimo confirmed by the people. And what's more able to surround himself with people capable of doing politics and opinion. Just think of Roger Breed, Enrico Trantino Gino Ioppolo. Why
with any brand Musumeci has presented in recent years ("Sicilian Alliance," to "Right", ending with the exploits of the civil list "with Nello Musumeci for Catania") has always collected a considerable percentage of votes . So, in no uncertain terms, the 25.16% of votes Musumeci attracted to mid-June would be very convenient to Catania to a PDL, che, parafrasando un noto modo di dire del giornalismo sportivo, (stra)vince, ma non (si) convince.
Certo, occorre superare lo scoglio non indifferente dei pessimi rapporti fra Musumeci e taluni settori di Alleanza Nazionale (si sa che la storia missina è stata attraversata da cinquantennali odi interni che pari pari son poi sopravvissuti nelle fasi postfascista, postmissina e postnazionalista), ma dentro il Pdl vi è comunque un blocco di peso (Schifani-Alfano-Miccichè-Firrarello) che spinge per “istituzionalizzare” l’alleanza di centrodestra che ha dato una percentuale “bulgara” di consensi a Giuseppe Castiglione nella sua corsa a Palazzo dei Minoriti. Alleanza che alle provinciali vedeva la lista Musumeci along with the rest of the center-right party.
It is therefore very clear as in Sicily, and especially in Catania, Nello Musumeci has become a sort of balance. Like it or not its detractors (usually all internal to An), meanwhile, has big fans in the PDL. And it has a package of votes (for review, not monumental) does not matter, since about one quarter of Catania trust him. Also, which is good, also has a good personal relationship with Silvio Berlusconi, who has always appreciated the style and soft tones (but not too much). Because the PDL
needs energy, ideas, leadership, aimed expendable and, above all, know-how. Training Berlusconi in Sicily has a huge apparatus, many men and resources, but do not seem to shine for ability to do (like, to be fair to say, the rest of the center-right and center all the nonexistent). In this context, the contribution of Musumeci could be decisive. As well, following the example of national import may be decisive in the island called "Brunette model, which features the best social intelligence used by Berlusconi for its modernization projects. As the chaos following
Tangentopoli caused a veritable diaspora of which the Socialist Knights took advantage of the length and breadth (Tremonti, Frattini, Sacconi, Boniver are all from the old PSI), the chaos following the defeat of Enrico Boselli last April led to a socialist minidiaspora in Sicily in the PDL may now take advantage wisely. There are great minds
policies, both local and national caliber, which come from his socialist, even by the most recent. Recovered and used the better would be a great move for both the PDL for the MPA, given the mutual closing date shown in the relations between the Socialists and the Democratic Party.
Pd which, incidentally, Sicily increasingly dying, strangled by an inexplicable paralysis. In contrast, appears much more dynamic extreme left, especially that which belongs to Rifondazione Comunista. A Catania, for example, choosing the right candidate for the presidency of the Province, the physicist Paul Castorina, has given vent to his training, which, paradoxically, today, at least on the slopes of Etna, is in comatose state of health less than Democrats . As evidence that not to sell off its assets ideal and tradition always pays.
