Calabrese telenovela for the Pd. Even Rubbettino renounces, Talarico reappears

FACEBOOK / MAURIZIO TALARICO

"I love my land very much. I accepted the candidacy for the love I bring her: in front of the renouncement of Rubbettino arrived today, I have not been able to pull myself back, "Talarico explained to the AdnKronos. "Zingaretti has not heard it yet – he explains – but the proposal to nominate me comes from him, so there is no doubt about the support of the Pd. However, I am applying as a civic, with an independent list open to all movements, associations and parties that believe in a project that will see its two main cornerstones in growth and legality ". The new candidate also opens its doors to the M5s: "For me the support of the M5s would represent an important added value, as a movement that brings values ​​that are particularly dear to me, legality first of all. And this is even more true in a region like Calabria, which has the right to a healthy and proactive ruling class ".

Florindo Rubbettino has renounced his candidacy for the presidency of Calabria because "there are no conditions". In front of a "divided center-left", with M5s who had pronounced against, "I would have been involved in a tearing battle," explains the editor. The reference is in particular to the words of Paolo Parentela, coordinator of the electoral campaign of the 5-star Regional Movement in Calabria who had said "no to the Democratic Party even if he is a Rubbettino candidate, there are no conditions for dialogue".

The center-left, the Democratic Party in the lead Nicola Zingaretti, had proposed the candidacy and support to Rubbettino and, it is explained by the center-left sources, "we would have expected neutrality and not opposition from the 5 Stars towards a candidate like Rubbettino, a a civic candidate, moreover. One wonders: "are the 5 stars working for Salvini and Oliverio?"

After the backward step of Rubbettino, Maurizio Talarico – who at first had also renounced his candidacy – went back on his steps: “I had been encouraged, honored by the Pd in ​​the person of Zingaretti, to put myself in the service and I had said no exclusively for business reasons. But faced with the unavailability of Rubbettino too, I feel the moral and civil duty to reconsider and put myself at the service of my land. I don't want to give it to forces that have trampled on and scorned it in the past, nor do I want to hand it over to new barbarians ”. Talarico calls "all the best forces to unite in a civic alliance".

No rethinking of the Democratic Party on Mario Oliveri, the outgoing president of Calabria. "It will not be the candidate of the Democratic Party, must respect the choices of the Democratic Party" says Nicola Oddati, the man of the national secretary of the Democratic Party to which the secretary dem Nicola Zingaretti has entrusted the not simple question of the choice of the candidate president for the regional ones in Calabria .
