Schlein’s Democratic Party has swallowed up Conte’s M5s
While the centre-right wins without the coalition parties engulfing each other and only small transfers take place internally, the broad field has in fact widened to the detriment of the 5 Star Movement chaired by Conte. Paola Sacchi's note
Giorgia Meloni, with her over two million preferences, personal and political success, especially for elections considered to be medium-term which usually do not reward executives, underlines that at the G7 in Puglia Italy, which presides over it, will represent "the strongest government in Europe”.
But Meloni, who says she is proud of the result, prefers to focus on the collegiality of the electoral success of the entire "governing majority, which grows together, in a concert where everyone, to put it like Maestro Muti, builds his part in harmony ”.
Therefore, the prime minister and president of FdI which is close to 29 percent, growing by almost 3 compared to the Politicians, is "proud of FdI, the first party not only of the coalition but also of the result of Forza Italia and the League".
Stronger government and increasingly weaker opposition, despite the strong affirmation of Elly Schlein's Democratic Party which closes the distance from the prime minister's party to around 24 percent.
But, while the centre-right wins without the coalition parties engulfing each other and only small transfers take place internally, the broad field has in fact widened to the detriment of the Five Star Movement.
The Democratic Party did so by riding a radicalization and a maximalist policy that made it increasingly competitive with Giuseppe Conte.
Meloni can only observe that in the opposing camp there is no real coalition, as cohesive as that of the centre-right, which means that we cannot speak of a strengthening of bipolarism. And he warns that "there is a risk of radicalization on the left".
Also seen the result of over 6 percent of Avs of Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni which led to the election of Ilaria Salis. Meloni then observes that "the moderates" have found more place in the center-right.
FI's statement proves this. Antonio Tajani dedicates it to Silvio Berlusconi who had remarked several times: "The center in Italy can only be allied with the right". Tajani, who also recorded a strong victory at the Regionals in Piedmont with the confirmation of Alberto Cirio and double-digit results in the South such as the 18 percent of Calabria claimed by the Italian governor and deputy secretary Roberto Occhiuto, has already set the next objective: 20 percent cent to Policies, “we want to be the permanent center of gravity”. And the Italian senator, president of the Foreign Affairs-Defense commission, Stefania Craxi: "We are the moderate and reformist space".
Meanwhile, Meloni is now grappling with choices on the EU commission where he already warns that "Italy will not be a spectator". Could you say yes to a candidate from the EPP (where FI is) like Ursula von der Leyen? Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, has already said no. And he plays with a victorious Marine Le Pen in France.
But the EU mechanisms are less simple. Even if the Northern League leader has already demonstrated that he knows how to resist while his League was once again mistakenly given up for doom.
