Goodwill, the unknown abstention on the vote in Rome, after the flop of Naples. The minister Gualtieri between the candidates

The first challenge is that of turnout. Because it will not be easy to bring to a vote, many citizens in the centre of Rome. You go to the polling stations to choose the successor to the Chamber of Paolo Gentiloni, chosen in the meantime, as a european commissioner. Those entitled to vote are 150 thousand but would be considered already a success with the participation of 30 thousand voters. On the other hand, last Sunday, the Naples – on the floor of the turnout – it was disheartening. Less than 10 per cent of the net claim of Sandro Ruotolo, a candidate of the centre-left, for a Senate seat left vacant after the death of the parliamentary 5stars Ortolani. In Rome, among the 7 candidates, there is a name of weight of Italian politics: that of the minister of the economy Roberto Gualtieri.
