Marche Elections, Renzi is with Ricci. And 'Mastro' runs. Attacks on Baldelli on the high tolls

Ancona, July 6, 2025 – Soldier Mastro is there . He will not be able to line up in the front lines of the Democratic Party, but he will lead Matteo Ricci 's patrol , that is, the president's list for the next regional elections . Soldier Mastro is obviously Antonio Mastrovincenzo , fresh from two terms as regional councilor, one of those involved in the chaos of the third term that sent the Democratic Party into a tailspin: between those who wanted to ban it completely (the regional secretary Chantal Bomprezzi) and those who wanted to liberalize it (Ricci), the most absurd solution came out: children and stepchildren. Green light for a possible third term only for Fabizio Cesetti from Fermo, candidate on the Democratic Party list, while Manuela Bora and Mastrovincenzo himself remained outside, only to then receive the offer (accepted only by the latter) to enter the president's list. Things that can only happen in the Democratic Party.

"I have decided to accept the request that Matteo Ricci made to me to run for the next regional elections on the presidential candidate's list - Mastrovincenzo announced yesterday -, as head of the list for the Ancona electoral district. I have thought about it for a long time and I know that it will not be an easy challenge. In these five years, as an opposition councilor, I have experienced first-hand the bad government of the Acquaroli council , which has caused the Marche region to fall to the bottom of all national rankings. I therefore intend to make my personal contribution to return the leadership of the Marche region to the center-left and thus relaunch a path of development, promotion of work, and fight against inequality. I thank Matteo Ricci for the esteem he has shown me and the many people who, in recent days, have sent me messages of friendship, support and encouragement".

Meanwhile , after the slaps from Carlo Calenda , Ricci gets a caress from Matteo Renzi : "We need to be clear about which side we're on in the Marche. Some say "Ricci or Acquaroli are the same". No, Ricci or Acquaroli are not on the same level, we're with Ricci so that we can win in the Marche".

The election campaign, with a high level of controversy on social media, recorded peaks in audience yesterday. Antonio Baldelli, a member of parliament from Pergola for Fratelli d'Italia, was the rapporteur of the amendment to the infrastructure decree which proposed an increase in highway tolls starting in August. The amendment was later withdrawn after a clash within the majority, but Baldelli's signature on that text gave the go-ahead to Alessia Morani's attack via post: "The author of the proposal is a parliamentarian from the Marche, a loyal supporter of Meloni. His name is Antonio Baldelli. Nobody knows about his parliamentary activity. Since yesterday we finally know what he does and whose side he is on. Certainly not on the side of the citizens". Baldelli's reply: "As the majority rapporteur, I have the task of collecting the amendments and presenting them to the debate in the commission. I did what I had to do. To speak, you have to know parliamentary law. Morani either doesn't know it despite having frequented Parliament or pretends not to know it".
