Both the leader of Action, who had announced that he wanted to take the field against Conte, and that of Italia viva had started spear-off challenging the former premier
The announcement was in the air since the morning, when sources not better identified of the M5S, but who defined themselves authoritative, made known the “perplexities” of Giuseppe Conte. Then in the evening the former prime minister’s official no to the offer to run for the college of Rome 1 advanced by the dem arrived: “I thank the Democratic Party and Letta for the availability and loyalty of the proposal, but after a new supplement of reflection I understood that at this stage I still have a lot to do for the 5 Star Movement. It is not possible for me to apply for anything else ». Conte then said he was convinced that he could manage relations “with the other leaders” as a protagonist in view of the Quirinale match even “without a seat”.

Controversy on
The former premier therefore wanted to clarify that his is not a refusal for “arrogance because it would be an honor for me, but I believe that it would not be correct, having to dedicate myself to the Movement, to apply for a position for which I would risk being an absentee “. The words of the M5S leader came after a day of heated controversy. Both Carlo Calenda, who had announced that he wanted to take the field against Conte, and Matteo Renzi, in fact, took off in the rest. “If the Pd puts forward a reformist candidacy in the Rome 1 college – declared Renzi – we are there.

Because the Democratic Party can do what it believes, but giving a safe seat to the prime minister of sovereignty would mean total subordination. It is a parliamentary seat not a wheelchair ”. Very hard Calenda: «I am ready to apply to avoid a seat going to the 5 Stars. There is no giving up a college where they have wreaked havoc. Enough with the M5S ». But the criticisms of the leader of Action were also addressed to the Democratic Party: “There is no Ulivo 2.0 but simply a power pact between two ruling classes lacking courage, ideal drive and consistency”.

Pd looking for another candidate
In the evening Conte replied to both Calenda and Renzi: «When one sees pedantic and coarse exits it is inevitable to realize that more than a wide field we risk becoming a battlefield. There are no prerequisites for building such a large collaboration ». And Debora Serracchiani defended the dem offer: “In politics there must be neither prejudices nor vetoes, especially when you want to build a large field”. Now that the Conte hypothesis is over, the Democratic Party must hurry to find another candidate. The most popular name last night was that of Enrico Gasbarra, brought by the elders of the Capitoline demos. In 2023, however, Gasbarra would sell that college to Nicola Zingaretti. Or to Cecilia D’Elia. A loyalist of the governor of Lazio. But Calenda tells Letta: «Before arranging another slaughterhouse, let’s make a 5-minute phone call …».
