The break in the center-right takes shape more and more, with Matteo Salvini ready to abandon Giorgia Meloni and found a single party.
The leader of the League this afternoon met the Forza Italia leader Silvio Berlusconi in Arcore. The two talked for about two hours, at the center of the conversation the idea relaunched today on the pages of the “Giornale” by Salvini.
In a letter to the newspaper, the secretary of the Carroccio launched the idea of a federation of the center-right "on the model of the republican party" that includes the parties that support the Draghi government, therefore Lega, Forza Italia, Coraggio Italia (the party of Giovanni Toti ) and We with Italy (that of Maurizio Lupi).
“I don't get down on it. And I relaunch ”, he writes. He admits the limits of the coalition, then throws the jab at Giorgia Meloni: "I respect those who said no to the government of national unity, no to Draghi and the day before yesterday no to the election of Mattarella, but I don't understand the choice to attack the allies who have matured a different decision ".
Then he indicates the political path to follow to give new impetus to the coalition: "Our model can be that of the American Republican Party: the center-right federation of the forces that support the Draghi government will be a political space where the various souls and different sensitivities will find hospitality. of a political culture alternative to left-wing progressivism, all different, despite the common framework outlined here, but all reaching out towards the same political objective ".
"We are at a crossroads", concludes Salvini, "getting by can mean dying, deciding for a change and joining together is a risk, but also an opportunity, it is an opportunity to change the center-right and, with it, transform, finally and substantially, also Italy. Now or never".
An idea that Gasparri, Schifani and Calderoli like. And certainly also to Silvio Berlusconi, who spoke of a "republican" model party some time ago. And that he was the first, with the PDL, to try to federate the center-right.
MELONI - Meanwhile Giorgia Meloni continues to attack and threatens: “Together with the next elections? We will see, today I have an objective difficulty ”.
“In the last meeting of the center-right we all agreed on the no to the re-election of Mattarella, all: Lega, FI Cambiano, centrists, FdI. Next time I will ask for the var in these meetings. So much so that, jokingly, I said it's not that we can write 'no Mattarella', we have to move on to a proposal. Now, however, everyone is enthusiastic about the re-election ", he said in the recording of 'Quarta repubblica' broadcast tonight on Rete4.
“It drives me crazy that we had a chance and we missed it,” he added. “I have been extremely loyal to the center-right as always but the point is that these parties have to choose between the center-right alliance and the government alliance and in the end they choose the government alliance. Between FdI and Pd, they choose the Pd. This is the reality of things, but I have always chosen them ".
