Italian Left Bolstered by Showing in Mayoral Races
Keywords:
Voter sentiment changes in Italy for the Democratic party led by prime minister Letta, only a few months after the national elections. Under Letta who belongs to a younger generation of Italian leaders, the Democratic party which supports being in the EU and pro-growth policies, has staged a comeback in Italian mayoral elections for 67 cities. The party of Mr. Berlusconi lost ground, and the party of newcomer Beppe Grillo also lost ground. Voter turnout was 48.5%, after years of failed politics of the national parties in Italy. This is new reason for optimism for the future of Italy.
The June 2013 mayoral elections in Italy and increasing support for the centre-left Democratic party of prime minister Letta
06/11/2013
The elections in Rome and 67 other Italian cities show increasing support for the young prime minster Letta who represents a new generation in Italian politics. The party of Mr Berlusconi, and the party of Beppe Grillo fared poorly which suggests a change in Italian voter sentiment after the national elections of 2013. This also gives Letta a better chance of governing and bringing Italy out of the financial crisis.

The collapse of Italy's leading candidate for prime minister in April 2013- Pier Luigi Bersani
12/10/2012
Bersani's PD party leads with about 35% of the vote in polls before elections on Feb 24-25, 2013. A coalition government with centrist parties led by Mario Monti, whose support ranges from 10-14% is one of the possible scenarios. Austerity measures taken by the Monti government in 2012 have adversely affected its support. The business community in Italy and the EU countries support Monti, because of his credibility with financial markets and the need to keep Italy's borrowing costs low.

The Five Star Movement of Beppe Grillo in Italy
10/01/2012
Italy's new movement which is anti-euro has seen public support go up from 4% in 2011 to 20% in 2012 in opinion polls. This party formed around Grillo's anti-establishment views and corrupt politicians won the election in Parma with little funding. Part of the popularity comes from the austerity measures taken by prime minister Monti, whom he calls "rigor Monti." Grillo supports environmental issues and describes himself as moderately liberal, at the same time he tightly controls this movement. He says his movement is similar to the movement in France of Marie Le Pen which opposes austerity measures and membership in the eurozone.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
