Regional elections, for a center party, are the worst that can happen because people tend to vote for one side or the other. This is a big problem for Italy,” said the leader of Action Carlo Calenda on the sidelines of an electoral event in Treviso, commenting on the result in Friuli Venezia Giulia. “Fedriga was good at getting the vote of the moderate elector and bringing the result to a very high figure, congratulations to him – he adds -. I am sorry for our candidate Alessandro Maran, who is a person of the highest quality and also a great connoisseur of Europe and the world and this is very important for the Italian border regions. Maran campaigned in a month in very difficult elections, but all my respect goes to him".
“I express my warmest congratulations to President Massimiliano Fedriga for his reconfirmation at the helm of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. After the victory in the political elections and the one in the regional elections of Lombardy and Lazio, the good governance of the center-right is once again confirmed as a winner. So: full speed ahead”. This is what the president of Forza Italia wrote on social media Silvio Berlusconi.
