There was no face to face. Now the duel between Renato Soru and Alessandra Todde – within the centre-left – is at a distance. The controversy exploded this morning.
HERE THE DETAILS:
In the evening, while the candidate from the broad camp heads to Tramatza for a political meeting, the new position arrives. It should be a version of what happened in the last few hours. There are also accusations.
«Soru», is the attack, «accused the centre-left coalition of having made our meeting public. False, very false. Renato said serious things today." Then the reconstruction.
«I met Soru after many years last February in Nuoro on the occasion of the presentation of Massimo Dadea's book where we discussed publicly the 5 years of his administration. And on that occasion", underlines the M5s exponent, "I clearly said what didn't work and what my vision of Sardinia was".
We arrive at the end of August, when «he asked me for a meeting in which as vice-president of the M5S I reiterated what the position of the M5S was at the coalition table. I never told Soru that my name had already been decided months before, that the coalition would never hold primaries or that I would be imposed by Rome. Never".
Soru, Todde notes, «keeps repeating that I have to run the primaries. But why does he never explain what kind of path has been taken in recent months by all the forces at the coalition table? There has been a lot of talk about primaries for a long time. And the political forces have decided." Not to do so, and the forces of the broad camp focused on her as a candidate for the presidency of the Region. The same role that Soru, who brought with him Liberu, Progressisti and +Europa, aspires to.
«Why does Renato never say that the only politician who showed up in Rome to discuss with his secretariat is not me, but it's him?», attacks Todde. Why does Renato never say that all the parties at the table have decided that it was time for a woman to lead the coalition indicating me as a candidate? Why is it never analyzed that leaving a table when you don't share the conclusions born from a democratic path is not democracy?".
The tenor of the declarations becomes more and more pointed: «In recent days it appears that Renato has gone to discuss matters in many other private homes», is Todde's jab. He refers to the news about a meeting, never denied, between Soru and Antonello Peru, in the house of the exponent of the Big Centre.
«Renato says that I am an incompetent woman?», asks Todde, to reply that «for me numbers and facts speak for themselves. But I'm used to men looking down on women. I continue with my head held high on my path."
The five-star party says it is very struck by an awareness: « Renato Soru never talks about the centre-right. He never talks about who the real opponents are. He never talks about this junta that left the desert in Sardinia. He never talks about this right that betrayed Sardinia. But he continues to attack me while I continue to reach out."
The dialogue, he assures, is not closed forever, "but it cannot be like this".
