Forza Italia, Mariastella Gelmini’s new impulse: “Even those who remained …”

“We will be the surprise of the vote and the pact between Italia Viva and Action will be carried out even after 25 September.” The Minister for Regional Affairs, Mariastella Gelmini, speaks Corriere della Seraagain attacks the center-right and with extreme certainty guarantees that Action, in a hypothetical government led by Giorgia Meloni, will never enter.

“It would be a right-wing government and there is nothing else in that field,” explains the minister who, after the fall of Mario Draghi’s government, left Forza Italia to join Carlo Calenda’s party. “Giorgia Meloni has allied with two parties that have put aside any desire for reform. They are Sunday liberals: now they are also opposed to the Piombino regasification plant, the privatization of Itaú, the introduction of competitiveness for the beaches.” The minister reiterates that the partnership between Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda will be maintained even after the September 25 vote: “They are two strong personalities who have already governed together. We will build a new home for true liberal reformers.” Then the onslaught, one more against Berlusconi and his former party, Forza Italia: “Even those who remained in the FI are worried about the direction they’ve taken.”
