Are you sure Calenda and Letta won’t get engaged?
What happens between Enrico Letta's Pd and Carlo Calenda's Action. The Scratches of Damato
If this first day of August will prove to be really decisive for the definition of the cartels, poles or whatever we want to call those destined to face each other in the polls of 25 September for the renewal, finally, of the elected Chambers in 2018, it must be recognized that it did not begin in best way for the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta. To which the former minister Carlo Calenda sent a stronger signal than usual against the attempt to incorporate him with members of the radical left and displaced members of the 5 Star Movement to face the center-right, which is generally winning with a Melonian leadership, no matter how much effort Silvio Berlusconi makes of to re-propose its central and guarantee function with the modest 9 per cent assigned to it by the polls, against just over 13 per cent of the leaguers and 23 per cent and perhaps even more of the post-missina right of the Italian brothers .
Interviewed by Corriere della Sera , Calenda spoke of Enrico Letta a bit like Giuseppe Conte spoke of Mario Draghi before or on purpose to withdraw his trust, make him resign and speed up the elections a little masochistically. And with the elections also the end of the famous "large field" cultivated with the Democratic Party to save the remains of the Grillino movement. “We have presented a precise document on how we intend to govern the country. We have not had any response, ”Calenda said almost like Conte – I repeat – last month he spoke of the nine-point sheets personally delivered to Draghi to claim“ discontinuity ”and“ change of pace ”in government action.
"I've been asking him to answer me for a week and people who represent the opposite of what we should do have joined the coalition for a week", Calenda insisted, betraying a certain impatience on the road to an alternative pole, with Matteo Renzi and Emma Bonino , both to the center-right of Melonian tendency and to the center-left of Prodian memory pursued by the Democratic Party. "The cartel – Stefano Folli observed almost tickling him in Repubblica – is not intended to steal votes from the Democratic Party (Renzi, according to a poll, is only appreciated by 1 percent of the dem electorate), while it is able to give an outlet to the malaise of the moderate right, especially the one that for years has recognized itself as Forza Italia ”. Where did the ministers Mariastella Gelmini and Mara Carfagna come from to be cheerfully welcomed by Calenda and taken for now to the secretariat of her movement, waiting to nominate them for Parliament in a few days, we will see how and where.
The historian Ernesto Galli della Loggia, divided today between an editorial in Corriere della Sera not at all or not entirely biased towards Giorgia Meloni and an interview with Libero , has grasped well the difficulties in which Calenda put Enrico Letta, or in which these he was already on his own facing the negotiations for his wide field towards the center and no longer towards Conte. “He must make his alleged allies compatible – said Galli della Loggia of Enrico Letta to Libero – with three or four currents of the Democratic Party that have opposing ideas on this subject. And even if it succeeds, then it should make all allies compatible with each other. A Sisyphean effort ".
Among the "three-four currents of the Democratic Party" should also be placed the ideal of the former editor of the Republic Carlo De Benedetti, once proposed as the "number one card" of the Democratic Party. Listen to how his new newspaper, Domani , founded by the engineer after accusing his children of having sold Repubblica to the Agnelli family, has just today represented the situation in an editorial signed by Curzio Maltese: "The Pd di Letta cannot do without of the Five Stars ". "Even a child understands it," warns the titlist, strictly in red.
