Thick with tears FI: born Conservatives and reformists, early groups – The Messenger

Will the results of the regional balance of power to determine new, more jolts in the center and any changes from one group to another. But meanwhile Raffaele Lease cuts the umbilical cord with Silvio Berlusconi and launches its association “Conservatives and reformists.” Without too much to ask the question to transform its troops into groups in Parliament (because, for now, the MEP Puglia does not have the numbers) but with the intent to give 33 deputies and senators who follow a new political perspective in the wake of the British Conservative David Cameron and the Conservatives and Reformists ECR group in the European Parliament.

“No hard feelings,” the rift with Forza Italy is consumed. The way to go is so great, in view of the primary policies of 2018, and the only pass that Lease asks his future traveling companions (including Verdini) is compliance with rules, content and a position clearly alternative Renzi. Precisely this makes it difficult to approach in Denis Verdini, who is in close contact with Renzi (but which in recent weeks has also strongly felt with Lease).

Meanwhile, the maneuvers in the center are in full swing. Silvio Berlusconi continues to show indifference towards his former dolphin (“At the moment I do not see anyone who has the necessary charisma,” them liquid) and repeats to want to do the ‘noble father of the moderates. But the attitude of Milan and company seem to actually occupy the thoughts of Cav much politics.

While waiting to see how many followers will do the ‘British style of Lease, Angelino Alfano claims to have said much earlier Raffaele that “between Salvini and Renzi is a large space to fill.” And Fabrizio Cicchitto, Area of ​​the People, observes that in order to talk about the first primary will be “real political homogeneity.” What is lacking at the scene of the center.

The new electoral law obliges aggregation, and therefore various actors make their way with their own recipe to re-establish the center. It is emerging from a long silence also the former Alliance leader Gianfranco Fini – who fielded the foundation Liberadestra – convinced, however, that the minimum threshold of 3% dell’Italicum certainly not favor the creation of a single party, but rather to an electoral cartel. It encourages everyone to “define an idea,” to “identify a number of issues with which to create a policy center in opposition to Renzi,” even before addressing the problem of leadership.
