It might be that the fateful embrace happened on a real football field, but the true protagonist of the new possible broad coalition that could unite the entire center-left is Matteo Renzi. Yesterday was a significant test, the return to a Festival dell’Unità in Pesaro, where another big figure of the PD, another Matteo, Ricci, is the mayor. It seems to have gone well.
The prodigal son, scolded but readmitted. And he remains the same, impertinent and provocative: if you follow my ideas, he says, you win. If you follow the Travaglio agenda with Conte’s bitterness (politically sidelined by him), you lose. The first test is the Liguria Region, where elections are scheduled for the end of October, a year earlier than expected, with Governor Toti symbolically strangled due to the ethical consequences of an investigation, not the formal legal ones that are yet to be proven.
Meanwhile, while the center-right is still searching for its candidate, Renzi has already given the green light to Orlando, a strong name from the PD and former Minister of Justice. However, the M5S leader hesitates, places vetoes on Renzi, and jeopardizes the broad coalition in a Genoese pesto-style green sauce. The Tuscan’s prophecy always comes true: remember the times he swore to the premiers, and if Conte doesn’t act quickly, he will be left holding the hot potato.
Schlein is already a candidate for prime minister (ah, the fateful embrace at the charity match) for the recovered Matteo, and it is no small matter. Giorgia Meloni is warned. When our local Machiavelli moves, no one can rest easy. Citizenship income, foreign policy, job acts—these will be seen in detail, but the path is indicated… with the risk that the field becomes excessively broad, with extra-large agreements always lurking in our parliamentary democracy.
