Rosatellum in hand, Enrico Letta raised "an alarm: the right could reach 70% of the seats, with the evident risk of distorting the democracy of our country".
It was a two-pronged attack: on Matteo Salvini, Giorgia Meloni and Silvio Berlusconi, but also on Giuseppe Conte and Carlo Calenda.
The reasoning of the Pd secretary is based on the "perverse effects" of the electoral law, in the light of the cut in parliamentarians: "It is possible - he explained - that 43% of the consents given to the center-right turn into 70% of the seats, one political and democratic nightmare scenario ".
For Letta, however, there is still nothing written.
The idea that the right has already won "is just a mistake", because "there are 60 contestable single-member constituencies" and the game is played there,
for this reason the real choice is "between us and the right".
From this point of view, "the vote for the Calenda and Conte lists is objectively a help for the victory of the right".
Again: Rosatellum in hand, for Letta "a + 4% to us" instead of 5s or Terzo polo "would allow us to bring the game back into contestability".
In a link via Zoom, Letta urged the 600 candidates on the list: "We have 17 days to change the history of our country".
In the afternoon, in Piazza Santi Apostoli in Rome, the dem secretary opened the electoral campaign for the capital and Lazio.
"There is no risk for democracy because the people are sovereign - Salvini replied - Letta lives on Mars".
And Giorgia Meloni also rejected the sender: the electoral law "was written and imposed by the Democratic Party, with the contrary vote of the Brothers of Italy. But how much does the Italian left laugh?".
Icy Silvio Berlusconi: "I'm living"
this electoral campaign "in a way not practiced by other leaders, because I speak only of the points of our program. While I see that many others are campaigning all of attacks and slander and this I am very sorry".
Letta's blow was directed above all to the right, at the risk "that our Constitution will be turned upside down".
But the recoil arrived in the center and on the M5s.
"So Enrico Letta have you already lost? - was Calenda's joke -. What an absurd way of campaigning. We will block the right on the Senate at the proportional".

And Conte: "Dear citizens, do not fall into the opportunistic mystification of those who say that the useful vote is only the useful vote only for himself, I find a lot of arrogance in this position. Letta has decided to make a scapegoat of us".
Al Nazareno repeat that "the game is open and contestable, we can play it, point by point, territory after territory".
And the opening of the electoral campaign in Santi Apostoli, in Rome, was all about this refrain: "Let's start our comeback here, from this which is our square, the center-left people's square", Letta began.
The climate was motivating.
Waiting for the rally, disco music indeed, from Spotify's 'trendy' playlists.
The mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri and then Nicola Zingaretti took the stage,
the parent company Simona Malpezzi and Elly Schlein.
Attacks on Meloni and a spur to the militants: The fate of the country is at stake and we can do it.
For Letta, it is necessary to fight "three wrong perceptions that are spreading in the country. The first, an announced victory of the right and therefore a climate of free all. The risk is that instead of the useful vote there is the vote of lightness, superficiality. The second is: they will win, but they will not govern, because they will melt immediately afterwards. The third: in the end Europe saves us in the end "instead, he concluded speaking about us candidates," afterwards someone else will not save us, it is up to us today, in the electoral campaign and in the vote, save ourselves, save Italy ".
