Renzi, ultimatum to Letta: tell which side you want to be on

“I’ll be direct: we are facing a crossroads and Letta now has to decide which side he wants to be on, thinking in perspective and not on the basis of short-term calculations of opportunity”. To say this is Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, in an interview with ‘La Nazione’. “The Democratic Party must understand if it wants to be on Draghi’s side or against Draghi” Renzi insists. When asked if he really believes that the 5 Star Movement can withdraw from the Government, he replies: “I believe that Conte will try, but he will not succeed because few in the Movement will be willing to follow him, starting with Di Maio who does not leave an armchair even dead: three different governments, three times minister ». So what are you worried about? “It worries me – he says – what the Grillini have been doing for weeks, since the Draghi government was formed, amidst broadsides and continuous attempts at sabotage.” For Renzi, the alternative for the Democratic Party is “to ally with us pro-Draghi reformists: we are ready to support him if he renounces his subjection to the pentastellati, if he renounces the crazy idea of ​​transforming the Democratic Party into Conte’s sixth star”. And when asked if he is giving an aut or to Letta he replies: “No, I’m making an appeal: tell us who you’re going with and we’ll tell you if we’re coming too”
