Bettini’s 5-star whispers to Letta

Bettini's 5-star whispers to Letta

The new Rieccoli – including Goffredo Bettini – according to Francesco Damato

For heaven's sake, let's get in line waiting for the announcement, barring surprises, of the agreement for the third electoral pole between Carlo Calenda and Matteo Renzi, engaged in a "not very political and very personal negotiation", as the controversial title Il Sheet . Where they are obviously worried about the damage that could also derive from Enrico Letta's pole, preferred by Giuliano Ferrara. Whose critical attitude towards Calenda and the former “royal baby” of the Cavaliere, laically baptized by Ferrara himself at the time of his licentious Berlusconi, is British compared to that of Marco Travaglio. That on the Fatto Quotidiano he used the usual photomontage to propose Calenda and Renzi in a re-edition of the famous American comedy couple Stanlio and Ollio. It amused millions of spectators in black and white in the last century, certainly less than the promoters of a false pole can now laugh even in the second numbering Labor, being fourth after the third due to the polls to the lonely Giuseppe Conte.

"Until now – the Fact of the promoters of the" last centrist farce "said -" they insulted each other, now they join forces because Carlo does not have the signatures and Matteo does not have the votes ". Which, to tell the truth, is also a little bit true, despite Calenda believing or showing that he can do without signatures and advancing the personal trait with which he managed to get himself elected to Parliament in 2019 on the lists of the Democratic Party.

However, not even in the slightly mocking variant of Piero Sansonetti's Riformista , which united Calenda and Renzi in the ninth Renzenda, as the good soul of Giampaolo Pansa at the time did with Massimo D'Alema and Silvio Berlusconi calling them Dalemoni; however, as I said, the crowd of Rieccoci strikes me more in the political scenario of these hours, let's call them that. I use the plural of the historian Rieccolo given by Indro Montanelli to Amintore Fanfani for the ability he had to rise again, or get up, or return after every fall or absence, forced or voluntary, in his Christian Democracy.

Here they are, after all, they are the same Calenda and Renzi for their ability to reappear politically, separated or united according to the circumstances.

Here he is again, of course, with the precedence due to him for the registry office, Silvio Berlusconi. Which always has some reserves to dissolve and some others to keep. After having denied it over the phone, I don't even remember with whom, the former prime minister has just announced his candidacy for the Senate. But not – or not yet – to his presidency for a more complete revenge compared to the expulsion vote in 2013. Here he is again managed to make Carlo Cottarelli the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta and the European + Emma Bonino nominating him live in Parliament. Where the economist in 2018 could have even appeared as prime minister if the assignment received by Sergio Mattarella had not been blown to him by Giuseppe Conte assisted by Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini. "The successful loser", defined him Libero, making him the courtesy to omit the other nickname that circulates around: "The Dragons of the poor".

Finally, here he is again, in some way also Goffredo Bettini, the man of the Democratic Party who whispers to the horses of other stables, pulled down from a few naps in the Corriere della Sera by Maria Teresa Meli. Which stole a hope from him, notoriously the last to die. It is to see the "friend" Conte survive more or less well in the elections of 25 September, although he refused to follow his repeated advice not to make war on Draghi, even if not like Putin on Ukraine.
