Silvio Berlusconi’s candidacy for Colle? «We have said in all offices and in all sauces that continuing to discuss names is a game that leads nowhere. In January, when voting begins, we will propose the most shared method possible: for me the President of the Republic should be elected all together, from Meloni to the Five Stars, from Letta to Salvini ». Matteo Renzi said this when he arrived at the FdI party, Atreju, in Rome. Then, to those who asked him if he thinks it could go like this, he replied: «I think it’s difficult. But if you want a prediction, in my opinion he will be a president of the Republic elected by a large majority ‘
The leader of Italia viva then added: «I don’t feel at home here. And I also say this for your safety and peace of mind ». Renzi took the stage of the Fdi ‘Atreju’ demonstration to participate in the debate “Analysis, needs and perspectives of a reform of the state in the presidential sense”. “I have been, I am, and will be somewhere else – underlines the senator -. But I said thanks to Giorgia Meloni for the invitation because I find it very nice that there can be a place where you can talk to each other while being aware of being in two different houses ». And he then said: «What Pera and Violante have said about constitutional reforms is extraordinarily fascinating, I don’t go into the merits, the question is wider. The question is that democracy is in crisis here, because the act of voting does not correspond to a consequence. Today we can lead the country, thinking that likes and the mechanism of influencers can replace votes “. According to the leader of Italia Viva, the center-right now has the snitch in hand: «For the first time the center-right has numbers in the majority, from Fdi to Fi, 45% of the big voters. The question is whether the center-right will take the initiative together or not. This time the role of king maker is up to you ». Regarding the issue, Draghi al Colle Renzi concluded: “Before January 15, it is premature to talk about it.” Finally on Berlusconi: «Every time he won the elections he had the bad luck of not being able to run for President of the Republic. Berlusconi, who is one of the luckiest men in the world, had this cloud of Fantozzi over his head. He won the elections three times, and those times he never voted for the head of state. “
On the Pd front, however, the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta announced: «In Italy there continues to be a whole discussion on the elections. As far as we are concerned, the elections will take place at the natural expiry of the legislature, or in 2023 and, in the next legislature, we want to govern the country, after winning the elections, with a European Sustainability Pact with rules that are better than the current ones. “. He said this during the debate “The future is democracy: progressive Europe at the crossroads”, organized by the Socialists and Democrats at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino theater in Florence.
