While the new waters in Emilia Romagna depart from the red warning, black clouds gather above the head of the candidate for the Department of the old Largo Campo Michele De Pascale. The reason? The break in the centre-left coalition between Pd-IV on one side and Avs-M5S on the other. It was approved by the director Grillino who clearly said: “The wide area is no longer there” and at least “it was a journalistic formula”. The problem has a name and a surname: Matteo Renzi which Conte describes as a “time mine”.
And it’s not a question of likes or dislikes. “The Democratic Party has no sense that we are raising a serious political problem, that we are talking about public ethics, not likes and dislikes,” explained Conte.
The point is that the leader of the movement is not available to put his symbol next to that of Renzi “who has always stood out for destroying, breaking, taking money from governments foreign and being at the root of the corruption between business and politics”. A position also shared by Angelo Bonelli, spokesman for Green Europe, who explained how “the question that Conte asked about Renzi’s place is a question that has its own political legitimacy and that we as Avs are also asking . A credible alliance is not only about programs but also about the people who deliver it. Keeping Renzi in a national alliance for the foreseeable future is not a credible proposition and sees us in complete disarray.”
The answer from the head of Italia viva was not long in coming. “I had some doubts about presenting our list in Emilia Romagna, Conte took them away from me,” he said. Also because, unlike the 5 Star Movement, Italia viva has been managing with Bonaccini in the Department for 10 years, with one councilor and three regional councilors to bring them if they have them. I want De Pascale to win, Conte wants Schlein to lose. We will choose our own candidates.” In the middle of this diatribe is Elly Schlein who knows very well that the right cannot fight without unity and for this reason she does not enter the debate but tries to be a peacemaker behind the scenes. It will not be easy, in the region of Emilia which has already been proven by bad weather there is a risk that the wide area will also be under water.
