Elections, chaos erupts between the parties. Letta breaks up with Conte, center-right decides candidate

“Our paths have parted”, and the separation “in these elections is irreversible”. The secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, definitively closes an electoral agreement with the 5 Star Movement, and opens up to a center-left coalition that “we will call ‘democrats and progressives'” and “will have at the center the agenda that we want to take forward”. It is clear that the leader of the dem goes to TV – from Lucia Annunziata to half an hour more – to extract the slogans of the now ex-ally: “We are much more progressive than the 5 stars”, he says, assuring, however, , that “I will not make a malicious or angry campaign against Conte or against them. With them we made a path that I claim. I have no regrets because there was a five-star evolution”, but later “Conte made the choice of the field to abandon this evolution” . This is the response to the people’s lawyer who – in an interview – claims that “the Democratic Party is arrogant” and “we are the progressives”, noting that the accusation of being a traitor “is an infamy, but it doesn’t hurt me” ” The fact is that Letta cannot digest the fall of the Draghi government, “a collective suicide of our country’s political class, which is left very hurt”, and announces future moves to build “an open and expansive list, of which I have already spoken with Roberto Speranza, with the socialists, with the Catholics of Demos, and who would like to be led by 100,000 volunteers”. They say “ready to talk to others too, whoever is available”, but “I would like us to talk to each other in a constructive spirit and saying no to the logic of vetoes”, according to which “if I go, he doesn’t come”. The important thing is to have “tiger eyes, I have” because “I have no intention of losing this election campaign, I will do everything to win it” and “I only want candidates with tiger eyes”.

Letta’s appeal to build a new coalition is coldly received by the Italian left – “the Draghi agenda is not needed, but a project with Pd and M5S”, asks secretary Nicola Fratoianni – but receives the blessing of minister Renato Brunetta, newcomer to Forza Italia: “My dream is to have this republican union that is based on Draghi’s diary and brings together all the souls that recognize each other”, he explains, contemplating in the project “Calenda, Renzi, Toti, Bonino, Letta, Speranza” and also “Di Maio who was a very good foreign minister”. In short, “a republican union and regrouping”, and “an expanded list of political presences who have a political program: Letta is working on it and we are all working on it”. In fact, Italy’s leader Viva Matteo Renzi is more cautious, announcing that “an early Leopolda will be held from September 1 to 3” and warns: “Alliances are not made on the basis of likes or dislikes, but on clear principles, strong and shared. We are ready to vote with our symbol and our candidates that we will identify”. Above all, Carlo Calenda’s overture arrives in the evening: “I would like to tell Letta that I appreciate the fact that he finally said no to M5S. We are ready to discuss”, but we need “clarity on gas and regasifiers, waste and waste-to-energy plants”.

On the centre-right front, on the other hand, the rules of engagement game for nominations remains open and, above all, that of the Premiership. The leaders are due to meet early next week, in an institutional setting, but in the meantime they are sending signals. “The center right will be united, as opposed to a divided and quarrelsome left. The Italians will choose who governs with their votes, whoever gets the most will nominate the prime minister, as it should be,” explains league secretary Matteo Salvini. as if to deny the rumors that were circulating about the possibility of appointing the coordinator of Forza Italy Antonio Tajani as the future prime minister, who in an interview said he was “at the disposal of Berlusconi and the coalition”. A hypothesis that would have the approval of the European allies. But FDI senator Ignazio La Russa warns: “We ask Salvini and Berlusconi equal dignity in the coalition and respect for the rules.” In the background, there is also the node of the division of single-member constituencies with Lega, FI and the centrists (Udc and Noi with Italy) who hypothesize the 33% divided equally with FdI, whose president Giorgia Meloni would like to keep the rule adopted until the last political elections of 2018, with nominations decided also taking into account the polls. For now, the latter attributes the best result to Meloni, who today on Facebook addresses himself directly to his followers to warn them: “With the election campaign, the mud machine against me and the Brothers of Italy started again, punctual as always. these weeks, because they are aware of impending defeat and will use all means to try to stop us.”
