Ready the reply of a question and answer that goes on between social and TV. «Giuseppe Conte – Calenda replies – yesterday attacked me explaining his magnificent story of consistency and seriousness. To be clear, I consider Conte champion of indifference and transformism. I have never heard him make an interesting argument or approach an issue competently, ”Calenda writes on Twitter.
In short, it is open war between the leader of Action and the former Prime Minister today at the head of the 5 Star Movement. A question and answer that comes via social media between the two politicians. From the “Trasformista” that Calenda addresses to Conte to the definition of “arrogant” that the former prime minister had assigned to the exponent of Action. It is always Calenda who emphasizes, speaking of the former prime minister, that “I hate his cunning on security decrees and his twists and turns from sovereignist to reformist depending on the opportunity”.
What Conte had said about Calenda
Fake the vote in the first round with Rome destined to go to the ballot, the quarrel broke out during an electoral demonstration in Sicily, when the former prime minister directly attacked the leader of Action: “Calenda – he said – is making his self-referential political path, and we let him do it quietly: we are proudly strong in our history and our tradition, he now faces politics. Being a national force is another perspective ». And this afternoon Conte returned to the issue again from Lentini, in Sicily, responding to those who wish the collapse of the 5Stelle Movement: “Do not be misled by malicious commentators”.
The ballot vote and Calenda’s support for Gualtieri

So, pressed on the question, Calenda replied: «Out of respect for them, for consistency and honor. You are asking yourself the wrong question: what I vote is irrelevant ». Action leader Carlo Calenda says this in a video on twitter. «Gualtieri takes my support for granted», «Sgarbi that I have to be Michetti’s commissioner … The problem is how to win back those 220,000 votes, which are not suitcases that move. You win them over if you talk about the themes that are on our program ». The hope is “that the 5s will no longer set foot in the government of the city.” The Five stars “left an epochal disaster – continues Calenda – I will not move these votes, you will move them only by imagining a different policy” adds the leader of Action, listing some points of his program, from the strategy for municipal companies to the need for plants for waste. Calenda stresses that “I am close to Gualtieri, Michetti is an unprepared person who is lent to politics”. So, with regard to a possible support for the candidate dem Roberto Gualtieri, he adds: “It depends on the themes.”
