The Referendum, Romano Prodi: “I Feel the duty to make public my Yes”. Challenge tv Renzi-Berlusconi – LOOP.it

“Even if the proposed reforms do not have the depth and clarity needed, however, for my own personal history and the possible consequences on the outside, I feel that I must make public my yes, in the hope that this will redound to the strengthening of our democratic rules, especially through the reform of the electoral law”. He says, through a note, the former chairman of the Board and founder of the Olive tree and Romano Prodi.

“yes, of course, respectful of those who make a different choice – continues the former president of the european Commission – Given that in life, the decisions that are more painful should be possibly accompanied by a minimum of irony, as I write these lines I am reminded of my mother who, when a child, I want too much, looked at me and said: ‘Roman, remember that in life it is better to suck a bone a stick’”. “Deep are the reasons that I have up to now recommended not to make explicit my vote on the referendum – said Prodi – Are now many years that I do not take position on issues related to the specific way in Italian politics and, even less, I’ve done it in recent times. This choice, I have therefore consistently held away from the take a position in a debate that has, since the beginning, abandoned the fundamental theme, which is a modest constitutional reform, to turn into a challenge pro or against the government.& #8221;

“All were for the overcoming of bicameralism, if someone has changed their mind is because it is not consistent to itself. Let me say here thanks to the Mighty that will vote yes although they do not share everything, but recognizing that there is a need for the country”. So Matteo Renzi, in the rally in Ancona, thanks to the founder of the Olive tree, that announced the vote in favour of the referendum.

Challenge tv Renzi-Berlusconi -“the Many friends of the No seem to be held together more by hatred ad personam from other” attacks Matteo Renzi. “If it wins the Yes it is better to go to another Country, because it would be less democracy”, arrives to tell Silvio Berlusconi. The president of the Council and the leader of Forza Italia will return to compete in tv, but in a comparison once again at a distance. One does not know what he said to the other, but each exhibits all of its weapons if it is true, as explained by the leader of Pd, that these are the decisive hours for the victory in the referendum, because “the vast majority of the unsure decide now.” In the living room of door to Door, the comparison is four: Renzi and Angelino Alfano, for the Yes, Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini to the No. Half an hour each.

Start the premier, who chooses tone calm, reassuring, to stay on the. the In your pocket the leading Dem has the endorsement,

in spite of criticism, Romano Prodi: demonstrates that “if you wait until the reform is perfect, we are not doing anything”. Among other things, “those that brought down Mighty men are all lined up for the No: Mastella and Dini in 2008 and in 1998, Bertinotti, and one of Pd, I won’t name names”, the note pointed out with reference to Massimo D’alema. “Do not be fooled, read the question,” is the message from the premier to the audience of Rai 1. “The vote is not on me as the one on abortion was not on the Pannella”, he adds. “We take away the toy”, some have “fear of the experience to a mystical work,” he insisted, reiterating that if he will lose he will not be “clinging to the chair”. There will be a government reshuffle if he wins the Yes?, as ks the Vespa. “If we win we will have a great force for change Europe”, raises the bar the chairman of the Board. While Alfano, who never tired of repeating to Renzi to remain even if he loses, he explains not to be afraid of a possible reshuffle: “To me, anything can happen, except to be punished for the good things done. Without us, Italy would have gone to the precipice’, says the minister of the Interior, which invites the committee of No to not demonize the vote abroad. From the front No Salvini, political opponent of Alfano, is already looking beyond: “After Renzi is not only Cricket, we’ll export the good government of lombardo-veneto”. Meanwhile, Berlusconi, who pauses to remember the past (in 2013 they fell for the sorrisini of Hollande and Merkel, the accusation, but for the “direction of the then head of State”), try not to subtract from the Yes votes of the centre-right, Renzi himself has said to consider a decisive f actor for the victory of the referendum. And raise the tones: with the reform, he attacks, there will be a dictatorship and the Pd will become “master” of the institutions. Goes on further to speculate on the possibility – a threat to be waved by some of his opponents in the past against him – to leave, in case of victory of the Yes. Finally, the Knight joked: “The facsimile of the ballot for the Senate is shown by Renzi is like ‘Henry, you’re clear’”. And again: “Wasp, if it wins Cricket will give them a pass with my plane and according to me it will also ask Renzi…hope knows how to play poker”.
