“President, do not sit well with me that we have voted on the final document without ever having given space to debate.” It’s the straw that breaks the camel. Berlusconi leaves his desk and approaches to the benches where they are accommodated members of the Bureau. At the end is in front of Raffaele Lease, very dark in his face. “You’re like Fini and Ncd Alfano. I did do a survey, with these thy continual distinctions lose votes, all you do is hurt us instead of thinking about the unity of the party. ” Lease disagrees: “Fini has come out of your government to drop it and Alfano has remained the government to keep the seats. I, however, I ask you to do only real opposition to Renzi. ” The battle ends on a personal level: “You think you’re doing here what we did in the worst Dc, you are the son of an old Democrat. Now I’ll be referred by the arbitrators, and so you go. So, if you want, I do a party with your three hundred thousand votes, and then decide whether or not to ally myself with you. ” “You can not throw me out – the replica of Lease – because the statute prevents you then why am I asking political questions, ask a clear opposition to the government and democratic rules for the appointment of the new ruling class of Fi.”
Everyone expected a confrontation, but probably few imagined could escalate to this point. In the former Bureau of Forza Italy for many months now, all the nodes within the party blue come home to roost. At the point of leaving open any kind of scenario, although Lease, also in the evening, you keep saying to anyone who can talk to him that “I have no intention of leaving, my I lead the struggle within the party.”
The nerves were tense at the beginning of the meeting. It was still a fresh wound for the umpteenth black smoke in Parliament for the election of two judges of the Consulta. Obvious symptom of the disconnect between the parliamentary groups and the party leaders. Berlusconi has read a long relationship, starting from the foreign policy and then store the primaries even at the local level and get to the Covenant of the Nazarene, which “must be respected, because I gave my word, otherwise Renzi reforms if it alone and we with our numbers we can not do anything. ” The only concession to the minority opposition tougher on economic issues, including the Jobs Act on which “Renzi made a serious step back.”
It is enough to tell Renata Polverini, leaving Palazzo Grazioli, that “there has been a turning point.” But not to convince the most skeptical. You go to vote, and thirty of those eligible only two are expressed in dissent: Lease and Capezzone. Many complain about the lack of debate. So Berlusconi is “forced” to listen to before Saverio Romano: “I have no right to vote – he explains – but if I had, I would have been for not.” Then it’s up to Capezzone “dub do more determined opposition on the economy and taxes on the house. We can not be neither fish nor fowl. ” Speaker Verdini “reasoned with her head – whoops – we must stand with Renzi because if not massacre us by approving the Mattarellum.” “It’s not your fault if the party has collapsed 20-13%” poisonous accusation Capezzone. The tone is warm even more so when it is the turn of Lease, which is constantly interrupted by Berlusconi himself.
After the battle Lease leave the room nervous Bureau. And nothing beats the partial reverse of Berlusconi: “I do not want to offend …”. MEP Puglia crosses Verdini and Toti and vents his anger: “He had never seen anything like this, we are worse than a Leninist party. I’ll see you in the competent fora. ” Capezzone instead throws water on the fire: “We were told the truth in the face as you do in a family. Otherwise what would be the Liberal Party? “.
The end result looks a lot like the outcome of the direction of the Democratic Party. The leader collects confidence Parlamentino with a Bulgarian majority. Also because many members closer to the positions of Lease are among those who are not entitled to vote. But in the Halls of the Chambers, the situation is very different. The MPs ‘unhappy’ with the operation of the party would be fifty, more than in any case of 37 last night MEP Puglia has gathered. It’s enough, in short, to make any complicated parliamentary passage of the Covenant of the Nazarene.
