Italy's centre‑right gears up as polls show shifting voter landscape
In the Marche region, speculation is rising over the centre‑right’s candidate list for the 2027 parliamentary elections. The most likely nominee for the local Fratelli d’Italia list is regional councilor and party group leader Andrea Putzu, with other possible names such as senator Guido Castelli, minister‑level officials Lucia Albano and Marco Fioravanti, and mayor Gianluigi Tombolini among those discussed.
Recent opinion polling released by Sondaggi Bidimedia shows Italy’s right‑wing parties losing ground: support for Fratelli d’Italia and the Movimento 5 Stelle fell, while the Partito Democratico and Forza Italia recorded modest gains, and the Lega Nord retained about 6 percent. The same data underline a broader trend of voter volatility ahead of the next election cycle.
A separate report from the parliamentary Budget Office highlights a long‑term decline in real wages in Italy’s private sector, down 6.6 percent since 1990 and still below the OECD average. The analysis points to stagnant earnings, rising inflation, and a growing share of tax revenue coming from higher‑income earners.
Forza Italia spokesperson Raffaele Nevi downplayed concerns about the ongoing debate on secret ballot preferences, saying the issue poses no risk to the government’s agenda. He emphasized that the coalition remains united on core policies and that the priority now is addressing the country’s economic challenges, including energy costs and fiscal pressure on households.
