Maria Rosaria Boccia returns to the field at the regionals in Campania after her withdrawal linked to the second notice of guarantee on the Sangiuliano case
To apply or not to apply? This is the dilemma. The “poor” Maria Rosaria Boccia is undecided, she doesn’t know which path to take. He changes his mind overnight, and meanwhile the regionals are approaching. Yes, time is running out: what to do? First yes, then no, then yes again: a ballet not even on Dancing with the Stars on Saturday night. It must be said that Italian politics has accustomed us to the most unlikely twists and turns, but Boccia’s re-nomination for the regional elections in Campania goes further: it looks more like a roller coaster at an amusement park than an electoral strategy.
Let’s clarify things a little. The businesswoman, at the center of the scandal that led to the resignation of the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, had announced her candidacy in mid-October with Stefano Bandecchi’s listleader of Popular Alternative. Then, on November 5, the sudden about-face after the second warranty notice in a year. But now, surprise: we’re back. One wonders: are these regional elections or is it an episode of «Beautiful»? Well, the plot twist is almost the envy of the trashiest soap operas of recent decades.
We’re back on stage
Let’s try to tell the candidate’s “noble” intentions starting from her words. With an artfully designed communication, which seems almost copied from the now defunct (and fortunately) influencer Chiara Ferragni, Maria Rosaria Boccia announced the change of heart via Facebook: «There are moments in which life requires a pause, and others in which we choose to resume the journey». And again: «I start again with a new awareness: that of someone who has gone through the storm and decided to transform it into strength». A great electoral speech, to the sound of clichés.
The press conference is scheduled in Castellammare di Stabia in style, because if you return to the scene, it’s better to do it with lights and spotlights, right? With her Stefano Bandecchi, described as a modern knight: «He supported me without imposing anything on me». Moving, really. They almost seem like the motivational aphorisms found on the calendar, the ones you read as soon as you wake up to give you the right energy and face the day in the best possible way.
The judicial curriculum of Maria Rosaria Boccia
The renomination comes while Boccia is under investigation for a record number of crime cases: injuries; violation of privacy; stalking; unlawful interference in private life; false documents and fraud for alleged irregularities regarding the degree.
Not a bad business card, right? Furthermore, the trial against him will begin in Rome in February 2026. Will “poor” Maria Rosaria Boccia have time to think about her region? Don’t worry, he can always play the soap opera card, his specialty: resign after a possible election.
