Matteo Salvini will come to support her in the coming days. For him and for the League, Lucia Borgonzoni and what Maria Elena Boschi and for Matteo Renzi and for the Democratic Party. A female icon that pays off in terms of image. Not just fashion. If Boschi has completed the mission of constitutional reforms, Borgonzoni has succeeded in beating the 5 stars and going to the ballot, approaching the outgoing mayor Virginio Merola. A result (22 percent) that is not easy to achieve in a traditionally left-wing city. Instead she has blocked the mayor at 39 percent and, therefore, can approach the ballot with some hope. She says: “That of the Democratic Party is a blow, I too was incredulous in front of the first data. Now the game is open, the ballot is another race. We must convince those who did not vote, because they did not believe it, that instead we can change this city ”.
Lucia Borgonzoni, 40, and a passionate woman who joined the Leagueafter a past in which he flirted with social centers. But this also happens in politics, from Toni Negri to Salvini. Who is not at all embarrassed: “I am overjoyed for the results of the Northern League in Emilia”, he assures him. “There is the historical ballot of Lucia Borgonzoni in Bologna which means the citizens’ desire for freedom from the arrogance and arrogance of the anti-social centers and the Democratic Party”. A former friend of Borgonzoni has posted on Facebook a photo of a decade ago in which she is in a busy place between beer, CD and stereo. Today, on the contrary, the social centers want to close them by force. Who published her photo commented: “It would be extremely funny to see her become mayor of Bologna in a party that hates social centers and those who belong to them,
There is also the testimony of a former neighbor of hers: “Having her as a neighbor in the attic above my apartment was unforgettable. Loud music and nocturnal comings and goings to call the brigade for the noise, dogs that left their excrement on my / our landing and that nobody cleaned. The lady unapproachable until late morning, because she was asleep. In the end I moved home “. She does not deny but defends herself: “Today’s social centers
are different. I was a bartender at Link, a historic underground club from Bologna, and everyone knew that I was a Northern League supporter. I do not regret that period, but once the people who went around the social centers were different. No one has ever proposed to me to go and smash the windows, in those years they did not turn the city upside down “.
Well, and what do you think, today, of public order
“Whole urban areas in fact abandoned in the hands of delinquency must be brought back to legality. Security is not only a greater control of the territory but also planning in the areas of public residence that provide roofs for the presence of foreigners and families below the poverty line, to avoid ghettos and favor both the integration and mutual aid of residents “.
Boschi del Carroccio, long red hats, brown eyes, 1.70 tall, must try to double the consensus. There are 40 thousand who, compared to the previous municipal ones, did not vote for Merola and presumably were divided between abstention, 5stelle and civics. And then there is the Berlusconian wing of the center-right that refused to vote for a Northern League candidate. It is no coincidence that for the first time the Lega (10.2 per cent) obtained more votes than Forza Italia (6.2 per cent) while the Brothers of Italy stopped at 2.4 per cent. As happened a few years ago in Parma, with the grillino mayor Federico Pizzarotti, you can coagulate transversally those who want a change from the Pd leadership of the city. And what scares the Democratic Party. In a sense, Merola finds herself alone against everyone, and at the head of the “all” there is this sui generis League, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with a thesis in Phenomenology of styles. She has exhibited her paintings of hers in various exhibitions in Italy and as an interior designer she has furnished public premises. Her maternal grandfather was a Communist partisan. But she said that April 25 would not even celebrate as mayor: “Ceremonies done like this make no sense. But you can hear the president of the Senate say that the new partisans are immigrants “Ceremonies done like this make no sense. But you can hear the president of the Senate say that the new partisans are immigrants “Ceremonies done like this make no sense. But you can hear the president of the Senate say that the new partisans are immigrants
”.
She converted to the League, as a militant, in the early 2000s and walked all the steps: provincial councilor, then municipal councilor and coordinator of the League women’s political group. She now she tries the adventure to wear the tricolor headband. You say: “The main political figure is that 60 percent of the Bolognese voted against Merola and against his idea of the city: a clear message was sent against the Pd administration”. In recent weeks she had to intervene decisively against some candidates connected to her: the first evoked ovens for immigrants (to an interlocutor on Facebook who wrote to her “tomorrow I’ll take the two dogs to the kennel and I’ll put two illegal immigrants as Imam Bergoglio says “the candidate replied:” And turn on the oven “), the second distributed a flyer with a photo of a woman from behind, naked, and the inscription: “and to attract your attention”. In addition to the promise: “if I win I will publish the front photo”. Embarrassment for Borgonzoni and firm condemnation. But who has filtered his travel companions
However, she invites us not to dramatize. An advantage being a woman with appeal
“I don’t look at the pink odds or anything like that and not even at the age – she says – I look at the merit, whether it is a man or a woman and indifferent, a candidate must be prepared, have the humility to listen to everyone and accept the advice “. As a Northern League woman, what do you think of the law on civil unions
“Obviously, the same personal rights must be recognized for all individuals, but the Cirinna law is a real trojan horse to hypocritically legalize the rented uterus”.
