Process in the center-right, now Forza Italia claims: we win only with moderate candidates, Berlusconi is needed as a federator

by admin

To understand what can happen now in the center-right, we need to listen to one of its most promising moderate leaders, Alessandro Cattaneo, of Forza Italia: “When we manage to pull the coalition, we win.” It is with Forza Italia in fact that the center-right collects something concrete, the queen of Calabria (with the governor Roberto Occhiuto). For now, everything else is hanging and in the balance, in difficult ballots in Rome and Turin.

A victory for Silvio Berlusconi? In Forza Italia there are not a few who whisper it: even a weakened Forza Italia still manages to bring home more than the two sovereign traction parties. Cattaneo obviously focuses on the data of Calabria and the municipality of Trieste, where the center-right is ahead: “Good news comes from Calabria with our Occhiuto and also from Trieste with a person like Di Piazza who comes from our values ​​and interprets them at better”. The national coordinator of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani, who followed the electoral count in Calabria, expounds a similar concept: “All the results tell us that Forza Italia is in excellent health, this because also the results coming from other cities show that the our list where it does not grow holds up very well ». But Tajani also goes a step further, more explicit: “Where there are the men indicated by Berlusconi, you win.”

Moreover, the same winner of the day, the secretary dem Enrico Letta, had spoken of the lack of a “federator” (ie Berlusconi) as one of the causes of the defeat of the center-right. And those words are relaunched within Forza Italia. The blue party held in some realities such as Naples, it became the first party in Calabria where Occhiuto beat the competition, elsewhere it is backward, but it could still be a glass half full, compared to the Northern League debacle. “Considering – observes a big of Forza Italia – the devastating polls on the eve, several Italian leaders invite Berlusconi to intervene, to convince Salvini and Meloni to abandon a sovereign line”. There are those who ask Berlusconi to abandon the dream of the Quirinale and devote himself to his party, and not to the single party.

The center-right is now aiming for ballots, the belief is that Calenda in Rome has eroded votes to the moderates, not to the center-left. Meloni (“the game is still open,” he said) also underlined the good result of the action leader. To then launch the challenge within the center-right (“according to the data available today, with a quick calculation made in these minutes, I would say that today Fdi asserts itself as the first party within the coalition on absolute numbers”) and to the secretary dem Letta: “We are willing to vote Mario Draghi for the presidency of the Republic, as long as we go to vote immediately”. Salvini made self-criticism, especially on late choices, “we lost due to our demerits”: “The united center wins. But it must be truly united ».

The president of the senators of Forza Italia Anna Maria Bernini explicitly asks, we need “the return to the field of President Berlusconi as a federator of the center-right”. The Knight remained distant, but it was Salvini himself who announced a phone call with him and with Meloni in the evening. The Forza Italia leader, however, has already explained his line openly in the congratulatory phone call to Occhiuto, which arrived while the new Calabrian governor was in Gizzeria, a stone’s throw from the windy sea of ​​Lamezia: “Dear Roberto – said Berlusconi – we must to go forward according to our nature as serious and composed people, talking about the solutions that can be given to problems, without making sterile controversies that unfortunately, even in this season we often hear from everyone else ». It was clear that he was referring, once again, to the twins who have so far been punctured in the ball of sovereignty.
