Rome's afraid, Alemanno elected mayor

It was the year 1943. Il Duce, already disheartened by the Grand Council of Fascism, is replaced by General Badoglio at the helm of the country and arrested by order of King Vittorio Emanuele III. E 'on July 25. Collapsed fascist dictatorship, is about to appear on the horizon civil war. In August fell also the governor of Rome, the "comrade" Giangiacomo Borghese.

Since 1946, the year of the proclamation of the Republic, until today, Roma will never be more managed by a representative of the Italian Right. The post of first citizen of the capital will be assumed by personalities of the Christian Democrats, the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, including the post-ideological center of the Second Republic. Never a representative of MSI (or its "modernist", Alleanza Nazionale), the natural heir of the tradition repubblichina CSR, we are able to approach the Capitol.

From this point of view, April 28 2008 marks a historic day and a shift for the city of Rome. Gianni Alemanno, in part PDL candidate and former national secretary of the Youth Front, pick up 53.7% of consensus and dramatically won the ballot with the candidate of the center, Francesco Rutelli, former mayor of the city from 1993 to 2001.

Among tricolori flags, carousel taxi Opened greetings and Romans, Alemanno said finally satisfied that "Rome has turned the corner", which will be reassuring "the mayor of everyone." Rutelli has admitted defeat, looking good but by making a self-staff. "The decisive element of this defeat was the wave of that right, for the municipality of Rome, it was summarized on the safety issue," he said. In short, the blame would seem to attach to that side of the coalition, represented by the radical left, that the "security issue" has always put the vetoes to the Government. The PD has no responsibility, the fact must be recognized the wave of change in the political dialectic. "

Rutelli probably forget two important factors: the vaunted "novelty" of the Democratic Party, apparently failed to miss when you reapply a leader who had held the same position for 8 years (while the radical left had expressed doubts about the choice, preferring a Any application by Nicola Zingaretti, which also won the ballot for the presidency of the Province), and the lack of alternative proposals and reasoned as those advanced by Alemanno. While the candidate of the PDL, in fact, supported by news station of La Storta, indicated in immigration and in the rom the absolute evils of Rome, Rutelli was unable to find convincing arguments to counter, leaving then drag in recent day pre-election controversy in sterile and generic proclamations to the "fascist threat". Not entirely unfounded given the youth of previous neosindaco, but too smoky and a little closer to the real needs of the Romans.

Let's elections with the victory of Alemanno, the voters expect, given the circumstances (promptly confirmed by the Alemanno), a real "hunting aliens", with consequent decline in incidents of violence by illegal immigrants and Roma. Given the impossibility of carrying out forced deportations are much more likely that what was announced only happen on the agenda-setting media. And the Romans, convinced that he made the right choice, will return to live peaceful, tranquil and malinformati.
