“The regional elections are diabolical for us because given the low turnout, the opinion vote is almost completely absent. It should also be said that in Friuli-Venezia, Giulia Fedriga got a lot of votes from the center because she ruled well. It was impossible for us to ally with the left, who offered an independence activist. “We knew what we were getting into. Maran is a top quality person and did his best in the one month campaign”. Thus, Action Secretary Carlo Calenda, in an interview Corriere della Serahe is commenting on the disappointing result of the so-called third pole in last Sunday’s election, which fell below even 3 percent.
Doesn’t Calenda suspect that the third post won’t pass? “The third pole has already been broken, it took eight percent in a few months, it took eight years for Meloni to get where we are,” says the former minister – From now on we must continue with the work of building a reformist structure. And it’s a pragmatic space because it’s unthinkable that the country is run by such a right-wing coalition and the only alternative is a Schlein-5 Star coalition that can’t face a single challenge”.
With Italia viva the one-party project remains on the ground – “of course” -: “On 10 June the bicamerals of Azione and Italia viva will convene and present the party manifesto and the process will be completed in October. But today we are already working as one party. Bonetti and Rosato “We are traveling all over Italy to strengthen her. I hope we can also establish a tandem with Elena in terms of congress,” he concludes. The latest polls show Action and Italia Viva together at between 7 and 8 percent. It is a fairly stable figure compared to the last September 25 political elections.
