Letizia Moratti breaks the delay: in the next elections she will run to govern Lombardy and she will do so with the support of the Third Pole of Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda. An expected announcement, that of the now former vice-president and councilor of the Social Security of the Region, after the break with the center-right and the resignation, last Wednesday, of the junta led by the Northern League Attilio Fontana. “Yes, I am a candidate. Because there are times when you have to choose which side to take”, explains the former vice president and health adviser of Lombardy in an interview with La Repubblica. “I want to bring Lombardy back to the Champions League”, he underlines and to get there he proposes a broad alliance and also addresses the Democratic Party: “It is about joining different forces – reformists, liberals and socialists – to reformulate a new and winner of the political offer”. We need to combine “reformism and pragmatism”. Moratti attacks the center-right and also courtes the Democratic Party: “The basis of my choice is a reflection that I have been doing for some time in a political field that has now become much more right-wing than center-right. The right doesn’t exist anymore. We also saw this with the government’s first measures. This is a right that, by virtue of building walls, closes us all in a fence. But closure is the furthest from the DNA of Lombardy, a region open to the world. solidary, attentive to inclusion”.
“He was minister, mayor and councilor of the center-right for years, today he goes to the left and is a candidate with Renzi”, highlights the League. While Daniela Santanché speaks for the FdI. “Letizia Moratti’s candidacy for the Third Pole – observes the Minister of Tourism – does not surprise me at all” but “for the centre-right – assures LaPresse – it will not be a problem because citizens understand, understand, form their own idea of correction of the people”. There is no comment, at the moment, from Governor Fontana, who intends to contest an encore with the support of the entire center-right (“my reappointment is in fact, there is no need to formalize”, he said in recent days ).
