Italy is preparing for regional elections in three major regions with candidates including Alberto Stefani and Giovanni Manildo. The center-right coalition faces internal tensions particularly between Lega and Fratelli d’Italia, while the center-left coalition is unified under the Democratic Party. Controversies mark the elections in Campania with allegations of vote-buying, and the Democratic Party aims to solidify results in Puglia and Campania to strengthen its position against internal challenges.
