Context
Parties and candidates
In all likelihood, the candidates for the first presidency of the republic will be the seven members of the Constituent Assembly of 1705.
Forza Vegno - "Lo Zar" Presidente
The first candidacy presented as early as 1705 AN is that of the Forza Vegno (FV) party, headed by one of the 7 signatory members of the constitution, Luca "Lo Zar" Zarrella.
The party leader certainly focuses on his strong influence, as one of the 7 founding fathers of the republic, but also on a moderate political line, aimed at trying to garner the consent of the majority of the urban population of the country.
Shortly before the elections, the secretary Zar made known the manifesto of the political ideas of his party, of which many lines in common with the other candidates, but among which the great project and public work of the construction of the “Ponte sullo Stretto di Vegno” stands out.
Partito Democratico Costituzionale - Antonio Visciglia
The Partito Democratico Costituzionale (PDC), known in istvanistani as Constitutional Democatic Party, is a social liberal party born at the end of the constitutional works. The party emphasizes mutual collaboration through liberal institutions, endorses a market economy and aims to insure a "positive liberty", seeking to enhance the "positive freedoms" of the poor and disadvantaged in society by means of government regulation.
The PDC supports a mixed economy of mainly private enterprise with some state provided or guaranteed public services (ex: obligatory universal health insurance, with the state paying a basic health insurance to the most poor of the society) and strongly defends human rights and civil liberties. The party is opposed to isolationism and pushes for a foreign policy that can quickly place the nation in a diplomatically dominant role on the continent.
The party candidate will probably be Antonio Visciglia, leader of the party and former member of the constituent assembly.
The Greens - Peppe Freeda
The third candidate party in the first elections of Vegno is the Peppe Freeda's Green Party .
His ideology is based on always being frank and sincere towards everyone, clearly saying things as they are: inclusion and respect must be guaranteed to all, especially women and minorities, but without forgetting the truth on everyone.
The leader of the party, Peppe Freeda, has also recently announced that the he will be the candidate for the Presidential elections alongside Nick Comphare, who will be his Prime Minister in case of winning the elections.
Partito Nazionalista Vegnese
Another one of the 7 founding fathers of Vegno,Mickey Lange Lèvati, as expected, presented his candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic with the Partito Nazionalista Vegnese (PNV) (Nationalist Vegnese Party). His ideology is clearly opposed to the other 3 presented so far (certainly more moderate) with much more nationalist guidelines and very strong ideas of national identity.
It was also announced that Marco M. Unno will support Mickey Lange Lèvati for the presidency, without presenting a program and a candidacy.
Partito Popolare Vegnese
Last but not least, the Partito Popolare Vegnese (Popular Vegnese Party), whom secretary and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic is Salvatore "Shalva Mancuso".
The "PPV" gathers forces generally classifiable as moderate, Christian-democratic and conservative in the sign of the liberal-conservative tradition.
