What is happening

The center-right’s closing event is scheduled in Piazza Duomo with candidate Fabio Roscioli, Francesco Cannizzaro and other coalition representatives. The center-left coalition will hold its closing event at Cinema Odeon with candidate Frank Benedetto, while Francesco Toscano of Democrazia Sovrana e Popolare will close his campaign in Piazza Camagna. Roberto Vannacci, supporting candidate Domenico Giannetta of Futuro Nazionale, said they represented the “true” and “authentic” right. Forza Italia deputy secretary Roberto Occhiuto said the center-right should remain distinct from Futuro Nazionale, which he described as populist. These are competing political statements; the source does not report an election result.

Why is it on the Radar?

The vote will determine who replaces Francesco Cannizzaro in the Chamber of Deputies. The campaign has also highlighted differing positions within the broader right over political representation, alliances and the relationship between the center-right and Futuro Nazionale.
