“Let’s take a step back” Renzi thinks of a “third” leader – Corriere.it

«

The future of the Third Pole? The truth is that the two roosters in the coop should step back.” To say it is one of the “birds” in question (in a figurative sense, of course). In fact, Renzi is pronouncing these words. Now crazy rumors say that the former prime minister would think of Mara Carfagna as the leader of the liberal-democratic party that will perhaps never see the light. But in reality Renzi never did that name. The idea of ​​Iv’s number one, if anything, is to leave the two most cumbersome presences on the bench, namely his and Calenda’s. For the leadership, the names can be different: Gelmini, Bonetti or Marattin. But does all this reasoning make more sense after the breakup? According to Renzi, yes: «A year from now to the Europeans, anything can happen and Carlo can change his mind for the thirtieth time. Otherwise what does he do? Is he going to the elections with Bonino?”

Listen to Calenda, however, the situation is unrecoverable, although more than one of his people wants to recover in some way: «We will go to the Europeans alone – explains the leader of Azione to his collaborators -, after all, there is no reason to worry, let’s leave from twice as long as Italy alive which will never reach the threshold. Regardless of this, the point is that none of us can work with Renzi and Boschi anymore. And not just because they demolished everything we built with Marattin, Rosato and Bonetti: the real problem is that they only have a program of lobbying and nominations». The tug-of-war between the two ex-partners actually worries all or almost all the parliamentarians and leaders of the two parties. And in this far from idyllic climate, suspicions are sown and showgirls spread. According to the vulgate of Action the other evening, at Elena Bonetti’s party, only Ettore Rosato showed up from Italia viva, the others deserted because Boschi would have given everyone the order not to participate. If, on the other hand, one listens to the other bell, that of Iv, the dispute started with the money, because, as a Renzi loyalist recounts, «Calenda wanted us to pay half not only the debts of the joint initiatives but also those of Action that makes polls one day is one day no by spending a fortune».

The bridges of both parties they try to find a way out. Even if it is enough to talk to the two contenders to understand that it will not be a quick thing. Calenda – who spent the weekend in Assisi – for now is attested on the line: “We were right to disengage because otherwise they would cheat us”. Renzi, on the other hand, chatting on Sunday afternoon with some IV parliamentarian, retraced the steps that led to the divorce: «Three, four times Carlo tried to smash everything. First on the symbol that had to have his name otherwise nothing was done and I said yes, then after the Lombardy and Lazio regionals he wanted to break up again. After that it’s easy to blame me using justicialist arguments, but the responsibility in this round lies entirely with him. After all, the dem reformists had warned me, even with the Democratic Party he had signed the agreement for Policies and then he screwed up everything ».
