What has not been understood about the Vaffa di Calenda at the Pd di Letta

Thoughts and naivety of Carlo Calenda, leader of Action. The letter from Gianluca Zappa

Dear manager,

I am sending you a letter and not a proposal for a piece because I do not have an article in mind but a doubt.

The doubt concerns the decision of Carlo Calenda, leader of Action, to tear the alliance with the Democratic Party.

I almost fully agree with Gianfranco Polillo's comment that you published on Start Magazine .

There is a but in Calenda's reasoning.

The leader of Action essentially said: with the electoral pact and not the government pact that the Democratic Party has made with Bonelli's Greens and Fratoianni's Italian Left, the political-programmatic agreement that the Democratic Party had signed is cracked if not completely destroyed. with Action and More Europe .

Good. But now comes the though.

In that political-programmatic agreement between Letta, Calenda and Della Vedova there is a passage that raises my doubt about the linearity of Calenda's behavior.

In that agreement it is written: "The totality of candidates in the single-member constituencies of the coalition will be divided between Democrats and Progressives and Action / + Europe to the extent of 70% (Democratic Party) and 30% (+ Europe / Action), deducting from the total of the constituencies those that will be attributed to the other lists of the electoral alliance ".

So the political and programmatic agreement between the Democratic Party , Action and More Europe provided that "other lists of the electoral alliance" would be added.

And what if not also and above all the Greens and the Italian Left?

I presume that Calenda can reply: in the written agreement it was clearly indicated that "the parties share and recognize each other in the method and action of the government led by Mario Draghi".

But this stake concerned the three contractors – Pd, Action and Più Europa – not the Greens and not the Italian Left.

In short, in the end – perhaps – Calenda was right when he confessed that he was naive in signing that political-programmatic pact.

Sincerely

Gianluca Zappa
