NAPLES — It’s the ace in the hole Matteo Salvini. The coup capable of surprising everyone and relaunching the League in Campania, the card to be placed on the coalition table when the domination of the Regionals comes to life again. Name and surname: Matteo Piantedosithe Minister of the Interior as a possible candidate in the electoral contest who, a year from now, will have to assign the governor’s seat still firmly occupied by Vincenzo De Luca.
No one searches for official information, they won’t find it also because the times are still long and the variables are many. The games are taking place, yes, but with the utmost confidentiality because the sprint will be long and tiring and the political scenario will be in full evolution. Nonetheless, the name of the man from the Interior Ministry has been circulating for some time in Campania, his homeland: he was born in Naples and has Irpinian roots. We vote in 2025 and the game has just begun. The right is confident that De Luca will run autonomously, freeing himself from the “wide field” in which the current leadership of the Democratic Party represented by the secretary works Elly Schleinthe mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredi and the former five-star president of the Chamber Roberto Fico. But first there is the issue of the third mandate to be resolved. With current legislation, De Luca should leave Palazzo Santa Lucia. The governor, however, believes that it is sufficient to incorporate into the regional statute the ceiling of two consecutive elections set by the 2004 law to eliminate previous mandates and pave the way for a re-nomination. We will see.
With De Luca back on the field, the center-left supports him, or divides. In the second case, the right could seriously aspire to regain the presidency. However, an expendable candidate would be needed. And here the internal balances of the coalition that supports the Meloni government come into play, already put to the test in the last round. At Palazzo Santa Lucia he watches Fratelli d’Italia, with the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, a true Neapolitan, very active for months, so much so that he appears, in the eyes of many observers, to be already in the electoral campaign. The deputy foreign minister was more secluded Edmondo Cirielli, currently very busy on international dossiers, but with a solid curriculum as an administrator as president of the Province of Salerno. And then there is Forza Italia, led by the MEP Fulvio Martusciello, who certainly will not give up having a say in choosing the right name. It is in this scenario that the League could think about Piantedosi. The profile is considered authoritative, the career as prefect and then as minister can represent a plus in an area where the issue of security remains at the center of the debate. Now the minister is in a storm over the Bari case, but only in a short time will it be understood whether what is happening in Puglia has affected him or not.
Bari, storm over Emiliano’s words. Decaro: “Never been to any boss’s sister”. The vice-president of the Anti-Mafia announces hearings. The Democratic Party: “They use the institutions”

The opening to Forza Italia for a candidacy of Flavio Tosi in Veneto it could increase the prices of Piantedosi in Campania. It remains to be understood, of course, whether the minister really wants to leave the Interior Ministry, where he spent the most important part of his career, climbing the hierarchy from prefect to head of cabinet up to the top of the ministry.
We’ll see what the developments will be. The first round of the match will be played in a few months, with the European elections: the vote for Strasbourg will define the balance in the right-wing coalition. If the League holds, at least in Campania, then it will be able to sit at the table with renewed ambitions. And Salvini’s ace in the hole could come from the Interior Ministry.
