New adventure for Matteo Renzi, who from 3 May will be the new director of the newspaper "Il Riformista" , until now directed by Piero Sansonetti who passes to Unity.

The first to announce it was the leader of Italia Viva himself on social media: " I have accepted a fascinating challenge, for a year I will be director of Il Riformista ", he wrote.

The former prime minister will not abandon his political activity for this: " I'm not leaving but doubling up - he said at a press conference in Rome -, I will continue to be an opposition parliamentarian, to intervene in the Chamber, to do exactly what I was doing, but I put a load of ninety on it, trying to do an operation that serves the country. I will be director for a year, there will be a director in charge because I'm not a professional journalist and he will start on May 3, we will define the team in the next few days. I told Calenda and he seemed enthusiastic about it ».

The first to know this news was Giorgia Meloni: «This morning I called the Prime Minister to inform her. I'm a fierce opponent of yours and we won't let you get half a comma."

On the Third Pole and the audience of readers it would like to attract: «I am convinced that the Third Pole has ample space, but I believe that Il Riformista must go further. It will be read by part of the majority, the reformist center-right, and the area of the Democratic Party that does not recognize itself in Schlein . The strength of a newspaper lies in this ability to be able to offer a truth, which in the case of the Riformista lies in the name, its identity is not to be the sovereignty of Meloni and the majority nor the political line, which is not ours, which won the congress of the Democratic Party and representing Conte and the M5s. Between the sovereignists and a radical left there is a world, a silent majority, perhaps it is not a majority, but it is certainly silent ».
