ROME. Tomorrow a new parliamentary group will be born, destined to cause another landslide in the ranks of Forza Italia. Not really good news for Silvio Berlusconi already in trouble in the center-right where Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni are competing for leadership. The political move bears the signature of the Ligurian governor Giovanni Toti and the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro who will meet in the afternoon. They will put together a patrol of parliamentarians with the constitution in Montecitorio of a new group of 20 deputies. They also point to a group in the Senate. It will be a centrist political container in which the Idea movement of Gaetano Quagliariello will also converge, as well as Cambiamo di Toti, and will crowd the attempts to occupy the moderate center. «Brugnaro is a good mayor – says Maria Stella Gelmini – but if he chooses to incentivize the division into small parties of the moderate area, he makes a mistake. We have already seen some of these attempts and it does not seem to me to have been very successful. Italy’s priority is not to build new parties, but to get out of the pandemic and the economic emergency ».
However, the decision was made and at least 7-8 Azzurri are ready to leave the Cavaliere who does not give certainty about the political future. It certainly does not guarantee that many parliamentarians will be re-nominated, especially re-election. The search for blue deputies by the mayor of the Serenissima began some time ago, with the preparation of a symbol of his Coraggio Italia movement: fuchsia and the tricolor. The maneuvers are already at a good point, so much so that the protagonists of the operation could sign the articles of association and the statute before a notary. Among the names that circulate are those of the former Berlusconian doc Michaela Biancofiore, of Cosimo Sibilia, historical force leader in Campania. Marco Marin and Stefano Mugnai, former regional coordinators of Veneto and Tuscany, would also join.
