The magnificent result of the regional federation consolidates its governor as a powerful figure in the nation and gives the Left Bloc the power to form a new government.
Mrs. Strada arriving at her investiture session
91 of the 136 at stake. That is the number of seats the Left Bloc has taken in the Trivendito region, where progressive forces have garnered almost 80% of the vote. It has been this great result in Trivendito that has guaranteed the Left Bloc the first position in the early elections held a year before time, after the dissolution of the MSI and the march of the OFF of a government for which "it did not feel supported" .
Now, thanks to this, the Left Bloc has once again won the Presidency of the National Assembly, and as the first political force, the right to form a new government. Nadia Strada, the general secretary of the blocists, has been quick and after an express negotiation with the rest of the progressive forces - Red and Free and the Social Democrats - she has immediately presented a government proposal in the Assembly, which will be approved in the next hours, which will mark the return of the Left Bloc to the head of Government, a position that it has held for half of the current century (13 of the last 27 years).
During the investiture debate, the PDLN, which currently occupies the head of government with a parliamentary minority cabinet, has criticized that the blocists have preferred to govern with Red and Free rather than poll other parties to govern with right and left and prefer to govern with a "dictatorial communist party".
Mrs. Strada, on the other hand, has replied that they had no shame in allowing the entry into government of an openly fascist party, and stressed that after the last elections, in which it has been shown that citizens have called for a progressist change - leftist forces have obtained almost 400 of the 681 seats in the National Assembly - cannot be reconciled with allowing a party that has promoted "reforms that are very damaging to the social and economic fabric of the nation" to continue in government .
"Both the PDLN and the Populists are now criticizing us for allowing Red and Free to enter the government, a party that they say their ultimate goal is" to promote a dictatorship of the proletariat." However, when from this party we accused them of whitewashing fascism by including openly xenophobic and fascist forces in the government, they denied it, arguing that "it could be controlled." I now tell them the same. This coalition government will bring the changes that istalian society demands, after years of conservative governments who have done so much damage to the economic and social fabric that constitutes our country, such as the pension system. Hopefully these years in the opposition will make them think about their attitude. "
The imminent prime minister of Istalia has announced that the priority of her government will be to dismantle all those reforms that the previous Tranchina government approved, as long as there is consensus among the government partners.
On the other hand, the other great beneficiary of these elections has been the current governor of Trivendito, the blocist Egeo Azzara, who has returned to obtain an absolute majority in the regional Parliament with which to be able to approve and change regional laws at his whim. Mr. Azzara, who during the conservative governments of Tranchina maintained a combative attitude towards the national government and held the non-binding referendum on the Istalian monarchy, assures that he will continue to pressure the government to achieve the holding of a national referendum on the matter.
