Go beyond the federation proposed by Matteo Salvini and instead focus on a single line-up of the center-right. This would be the latest idea launched by Silvio Berlusconi during a meeting via Zoom with the Forza Italia delegation to the European Parliament, also in the presence of Antonio Tajani. The intention of the leader of Come on Italy would be to launch a real political manifesto in the style of ’94, which reminds many of them precisely that of the descent into the field. Sources of the blue party have made it known that within FI there would be a “strong thrust“towards the hypothesis of creating a party of the Italian center-right, a single force capable of uniting the various acronyms of the coalition inspired by the model of the British Labor Party or the French Republicans.
Berlusconi’s appeal
According to what has been learned and reported byAdnkronos, the former prime minister would have announced that he will soon make public the text of which he anticipated ample passages today. Cav is convinced that the Brothers of Italy must also embrace the cause: I know that Giorgia Meloni you will have some problems joining but I have a duty to appeal to you too, would have been Berlusconi’s reasoning. Sources from the Northern League secretariat, regarding the future of the center-right, leaked a precise message: “The League works to unite: Italy and politics need unity, concreteness and passion“.
Already yesterday Antonio Tajani he had talked about his dream: to overcome the hypothesis of the federation and to have within the next political elections a great and unique center-right force – liberal, reformist and guarantor – to build a valid and concrete alternative to the center left. “Single party means a great force ranging from Brothers of Italy to those who in the reformist air do not want to be subjected to the politics of the left. The appeal is to broaden our borders“, declared the national coordinator of Forza Italia. But to start the project – perhaps from the point of view of the republican party of the USA divided into a large unit – it will be necessary”discuss and talk“.
The position of the Brothers of Italy was recorded, which through the mouth of the group leader in the Chamber Francesco Lollobrigida wanted to rewind the tape and focus attention on the lessons left by past experiences: “All ideas have our great respect and we can discuss everything, but past experiences have not been particularly positive, so much so that we left the People of Freedom to form FdI and Tajani himself helped to revive Forza Italia“.
Goal by 2023
Meanwhile, a meeting between the leaders of the League and those of FI should be held in the next few days to define the “rules of operation“of the future federation. From the upper floors, therefore, this path is taken for granted, even if most likely it will start in a soft way with a simple collaboration at the parliamentary level and with a single speaker. There will then be time to eventually arrive at a single party because, as reiterated by both the Carroccio and the forces, their perspective is to reach the end of the legislature and elections national teams anticipated in 2022 after the election of the next President of the Republic.
