Ilva, bomb in the electoral campaign: the very suspicious interests of the 5 Star Movement, do you understand everything?

ArcelorMittal's farewell toIlva may have made some executives smile 5 Star Movement, in particular those Apulian exponents who point straight to the next ones regional elections. The date is not yet certain, but by spring 2020 the citizens of Puglia will be called to the polls. Uncertainty also reigns over the system of alliances: the outgoing president, Michele Emiliano, abandoned the Pd; the 5 stars will have to choose whether to repeat the (bankruptcy) "Umbria model" or present yourself; Italy Viva and the same Democratic Party groped in the dark, because in Puglia the left, after 15 years of government, is at historic lows. The center, as is known, it will present itself compact and will soon dissolve the doubts about the candidate governor (more credited an exponent of Brothers of Italy). In this electoral chaos, the 5-star approach, which denied the criminal shield to the Indian multinational, could have responded to precise logic of political convenience.

Barbara Lezzi, from Pugliese and former Minister for the South, expressed a great deal about the Ilva affair: promoter of the provision against criminal immunity in favor of the new owner of Ilva, he promised several times that close the steel plant Puglia. However, the government of which he was a member had to swallow the toad, and negotiations with ArcelorMittal began. Now that the Indian multinational has marched on, Lezzi may, perhaps, Keep the promise and recover the first votes among the citizens of Taranto. The former minister of the South is one of the favorites to compete for regional presidency at 5 stars; while PD and Italia Viva are in great embarrassment: they have always maintained that they want to keep Ilva open, but they voted together with the 5stars in favor of the law against the criminal shield. And this happened between the applauses of Michele Emiliano, historically opposed to the steelworks and increasingly on the same wavelength as Lezzi. I wonder if there will be a electoral embrace anti Ilva.
