Carlo Calenda has a landslide victory over the rest of the opposition. The leader of Action, guest on the November 30th episode of Omnibus, a morning talk show on La7 presented by Alessandra Sardoni, is very harsh with the hypothesis of a very broad field: “But we really think that the alternative to this government is a crowd that comes to me in Fratoianni, Bonelli, Conte and Schlein? Elly Schlein said yesterday that he wants to remove gas subsidies, and other things that would determine the bankruptcy of companies, after that he would like to electrify everything, but not produce more electricity. But it’s not politics. What Schlein makes are moral appeals that have no content and a governmental alternative made in this way cannot be constructed.”
And then another impulse from the former minister: “The 5 Star Movement and the Democratic Party presented two maneuvers that would lead to the Italian deficit, leading to the country’s bankruptcy and the infringement process. What I tried to do was to say that we cannot think that, since we are in opposition, we will build an alternative government, saying that we need the super bonus, which is the biggest waste of money in the history of Italy. I didn’t vote for the super bonus, the super bonus was a destruction of public finances, Conte 2 carried out an unscrupulous operation”.
There is also space for an attack on the controversy over the end of the protected market: “It’s theater. It is a reform that – explains Calenda – was a condition for the payment of the third installment of the Pnrr. I voted for her, Salvini voted for her, the Democratic Party voted for her, Giorgia Meloni didn’t vote for her. Now the Democratic Party says it’s the Meloni tax? It’s a lie and I don’t feed lies to the electorate. I told Schlein that if the amendments she presented were approved, we would have to return the third installment of Pnrr. It is an electoral campaign for the European elections – comments the politician – because this deportation of customers takes place in April and they want to exploit the wave of discontent that this will generate among 5 million Italians. But can politics be done like this?”
