The day after the regional elections in Emilia Romagna and Umbria, Matteo Renzi does not remain silent. “It could have been 3-0 if someone in Liguria hadn’t missed a penalty and then scored an own goal, we won’t say his name, but he is the M5S leader… Where there is no living Italy you lose where there is Iv you win “, says the former prime minister. And the word “own goal”, he is keen to point out, “did not refer to Andrea Orlando“.
“If you follow the line that Schlein gave to the Democratic Party, that is, no vetoes and we go together, the result is victory, if it is not followed, as happened in Liguria, you lose. With the veto line the center-left loses – he reiterates – Georgie Melons he could have lost this regional match 3 to 0. But the center-left in Liguria scored an own goal by throwing us out on the last night. He missed a penalty kick”. Matteo Renzi, while speaking of a “day of celebration” after the victory of the centre-left in Umbria and Emilia Romagna, underlines – from the Nassiriya room of the Senate – that “a bitter taste remains in the mouth” for the Ligurian defeat, highlighting the effect of the veto placed on his party.
He continues: “Whoever put the vetoes is not only the 5 Star Movement but is also in the reformist area, and whoever put the vetoes did not get the votes. An attempt was made – claims Renzi – to destroy the opening operation launched in July, it was done in a structured and scientific way, keeping us out on the last day in Liguria, but this operation failed because the credible center-left wins if you don’t get the votes of the reformists and the Catholics you will surely lose -. explains the former prime minister – this seems to me to be an element that should give rise to reflection from the USA to Europe”.
He is convinced that “when everyone in the center-left gets together, in this country Meloni is a minority: for three years the newspapers have been telling us that Meloni has the numbers but she is the Prime Minister who has received the fewest votes in the last 20 years at the European elections “. Renzi recalls: “Berlusconi in 2009 he took 35%, we 41%, Salvini 34% in 2019, the prime minister 29%. Meloni is in Palazzo Chigi only thanks to the divisions of the centre-left. If the center-left stops dividing, the prime minister will go back to doing what she does best of all, the opposition.” The M5S alone? “But where does it go? I say this, having tried to be the Third Pole, all over the world you are either on one side or the other.” Is Conte also needed? “Of course, I don’t veto him. Meloni governs because the left is divided, if the left stops arguing we win. The center-left is no longer two-pronged Pd-M5S, now the Pd has grown a lot and then there are the bushes.”
But this time it’s not Conte who responds to Renzi, but I am Angelo Bonelli e Nicola Fratoianni of Avs. “The country is interested in concrete issues rather than alliances and it is clear that leader IV puts political proposals at the center that are incompatible with ours – they say in a press conference in the Chamber – We won because we were clear on the contents. On nuclear power, on the Strait Bridge, and on much else, Renzian’s line is incompatible not only with ours but also with that of the Democratic Party and the M5S”, they conclude. Fratoianni then adds: “Even on this budget law. This makes text and for us this discussion ends here.”
