Romans: “Meloni was better, but Silvio chose the lesser evil” – BBC

“I say this with the utmost clarity: people like me, Toti, Gelmini, Gasparri, Tajani can also argue heatedly and claim their positions. But never they will end their political experience outside of Italy Force. ”

Yet, President Paolo Romani, the division between those like you worked for a convergence on Meloni and who insisted on Bertolaso ​​has been profound and heartbreaking.
“We discussed the last bureau, also in a strong and decisive, in the presence of Berlusconi. But we did it from friends, other than physical confrontation between me and Tajani … ‘.

There will be a ring, but it was a real tear-off .
“unanimously we have entrusted a complex and delicate choice to Berlusconi. That leaders decided assessing long the pros and cons of the situation. “

What were they?
“on the one hand there was the need to safeguard the coalition for a speech wider, addressed the upcoming events at which we shall come with a center-united. The other was a Roman problem: the leader of the center can not accept scarring on the part of allies who, after approving it, have rejected the candidate indicated by him. “

Because you failed to convince him?
“I know that on the table there were three options: a with Melons, one with and one with Bertolaso ​​Marchini. And at the end of a difficult and painful day, they arrived to the final choice, which far as is known to the sphere of responsibility of Berlusconi. “

the magic circle has had the last word?
“We use the names and not the formulas. Mariarosaria Rossi is a director of the party, has every right to say what he thinks, as the head of Deborah Bergamini Communication: although he was absent for personal reasons the office of the Presidency. Then with respect to the girlfriend of Berlusconi, Francesca Pascale, who plays no political role nor has it the intention, in a staff post has fallen into the trap of someone: a comment than a Salvini sentence clearly falsified, which triggered shocks in the following days. “

in short, if error there was was Berlusconi?
“Berlusconi of the two scenarios, however, which created a coalition problem – remain on Bertolaso ​​or place Marchini – chose the least painful. Maybe the end will prove to be the right move. I stand by my opinion that it would be better to give priority to the unity of the center. And I say this despite being among those opposed to the presence of Berlusconi on the Bologna stage. ”

She also suffers from the alliance with Salvini?
“We have been allies of Bossi when the league was secession, with more complicated political dynamics of this. But today is the weakness of FI, also due to the ineligibility of Berlusconi for the judicial harassment of some magistrates, to give the feeling of being towed by a right from which well as separates me – make me feel Trump and the Austrian Hofer that please Salvini – but which plays a crucial role: if it were not for this League, a protest vote would end at Grillo, and would be a danger to democracy. “

You can rebuild the center?
“The center is a workshop on the future but it is not made of rubble: there is the case in Rome, but there is also Milan, where in the coalition, the League had to accept the alliance with former Ministers of Monti and Renzi. These days had passed with the yes of the other leaders the idea of ​​giving birth in the big cities a federation of center-right led by Berlusconi. From here we will have to start again with new methods and new rules. “
