Conte to Schlein on the flop in the elections: “Meloni can’t fight with wide fields”

Will the wide field return? Yesterday Elly Schlein, admitting “the clear defeat” in the administrative ballots, he had dusted off the need to “put an alternative camp to the right”, underlining however how this “does not depend only on us”. The others, needless to say, are first and foremost those of the M5s. This morning the remote reply to the secretary was given directly by the head of the Movement, Giuseppe Conte, questioned by a journalist during a press conference in the Chamber of Deputies. “We are willing to dialogue with the Democratic Party and with Schlein but on issues, on projects, measuring ourselves on concrete answers without compromising our principles, and without watering down our most significant battles”, explained the number one of the grillini before adding: “Meloni does not fight with wide fields, but with a different idea of ​​the country”.

In short, more than a hand extended to Schlein, Conte’s seems to be a challenge for the leadership of this much desired alternative camp to the right. “We – said Conte eloquently – do not oppose without giving alternatives”. Then he invited all the “political, social and civic forces” of the country to the demonstration organized by the M5s against the Meloni government for next 17 June. “We are convinced – concluded the former prime minister – that it is necessary to build political projects, because it is not enough to show up for electoral competitions on a stage together for a few hours”. This is also an explicit reference to the common stage sought by Schlein for the closure of the administrative offices in Brindisi and instead shunned by Conte. The competition for the leadership of the centre-left has only just begun.
