Last hours to save the single party, Calenda to Renzi: "You tried to cheat us and you were returned to sender"
Nothing happened in yesterday's meeting: IV does not want to dissolve the party and is already preparing Leopolda also for 2024: "Unacceptable" for Calenda who has not received guarantees even on the economic question

« You tried to rip us off and got returned to sender. This time #staisereno didn't work. End ».
Thus Carlo Calenda on his Twitter profile addressed to Matteo Renzi the day after the meeting in which the single party of the Third Pole was wrecked (definitively?) .
The goal of last night's meeting was to appease spirits and mend the rifts, but the three-hour meeting ended with "nothing done" , as Calenda himself said. The political committee of the Action-Italia Viva federation discussed the new document on the path towards the single party of the Third Pole, but the positions remained irreconcilable.
The leader of Azione first said that "the personal attack received by Maria Elena Boschi 10 minutes before entering the meeting denotes a willingness to break", then he went into the merits. « I registered the unavailability of Italia Viva to dissolve the party, they reiterated that Iv will continue to do business in 2024. While we are in a single party, Renzi is Leopolda. Unacceptable ». Furthermore, he did not receive answers from IV on the economic question: " The party would thus be born without financial support ".
Finally Calenda launched an appeal to Renzi: "Stop doing political activity with IV, do it in the Third Pole if the conditions of no conflict of interest still exist to do it".
This afternoon another meeting to try to mend the rift: " A few hours to recover, otherwise the single party will not be born ". Then the invitation to the former prime minister: "Come and tell us what you think, things are done openly".
Italia Viva for its part tried to appease spirits: «Agreement on all points except for money and Leopolda». But he didn't fail to reply to Calenda: " He asked all the members of the political committee on leaving to make appeasing statements and then did the opposite, as always ".
