Carlo Calenda breaks the agreement with Enrico Letta and unleashes the wrath of the dem.
The progressive front patiently put together by the Pd secretary to challenge FdI, Lega and Fi has lost a piece, the one in the center, which had been the most courted, the most difficult to convince.
A few days after the pact signed, the leader of Action reversed.
"It is one of the most painful decisions - he said - but I do not intend to go ahead with this alliance".
What made him change his mind, he explained, was the addition of the "out of tune pieces", that is the agreements that Letta made both with the Sinistra Italiana and Verdi and with Luigi Di Maio and Bruno Tabacci.
A justification that infuriated the Democratic Party: "Honor is respecting the word given. The rest is elite populism".
Because - remember the dem - when that agreement with Action was signed,
it was understood that there would also be pacts with the other forces.
For Calenda, however, the coalition of the Democratic Party "is made to lose. There was an opportunity to make one to win. The choice was made by the Democratic Party, I'm disappointed".
More Europe is moving towards confirming the electoral pact with the Democratic Party
: the decision, however, will only be formalized in the direction of tonight.
"We yesterday as the secretariat of Più Europa recognized and confirmed the importance of the contents of the pact signed with the Democratic Party only 6 days ago and then withdrawn from Calenda. We consider that in those contents there is a shift of the coalition axis in one direction Liberal Democratic. Tonight from 6 pm we will discuss it in the direction because we are keen to share the choices within collegial bodies ", says the deputy and president of Più Europa
Riccardo Magi
questioned by ANSA.
And
Giuseppe Conte speaks to Canale 5 reiterating his no to an agreement with the dems
: "I'm sorry for the political disaster of the Democratic Party, we have our projects that we will carry out tooth and nail ....".
"I took them away from the embarrassment of receiving another no, he explains, clarifying that the 5 stars may have made mistakes but they cannot be accused of being" non-serious "people".
"There are no political and programmatic prerequisites" for an agreement ", he adds, reiterating what in his opinion are the emergencies for the country: underpaid work, insecurity, health care and the environment." We go in front of the voters with a serious and precise program ", he says, defending the super bonus and the citizenship income: the first - he says - has contributed to the relaunch of the construction sector,
Conte closes his reasoning by announcing that the 5 stars will be more radical than before in the implementation of their project.
Positive from the M5s leader the contribution of Alessandro Di Battista ("he is a serious interlocutor"), and the relationship with the founder Beppe Grillo.

Calenda rips with the Pd, Letta 'we go forward'
That's enough.
Enough of this policy where nothing changes: Meloni instead of Salvini;
Bonelli and Fratoianni in place of Bertinotti and Pecoraro Scanio.
We will propose a clear-cut, clear and transparent policy to do the things that serve the nation.
The rest is in your hands.
