Foreign policy, the results of the English and French polls must have perked him up following the debacle at the last European elections. Matteo Renzi returns to speak and does so with the attitude and conviction of his golden days. “I am writing to you from London where I began to collaborate on the initiatives of the Tony Blair Global Institute. Never before have I been so convinced of the importance of politics once morest populism”. The leader of Italia Viva puts it in black and white, in his e-news, convinced that “Giorgia Meloni has begun her descent”. An assessment that, at the moment, the elections have largely contradicted. “Doing politics means making credible and reformist proposals. And it means doing it as adults, as the socialist leader Glucksmann happily put it. Doing politics as adults means not vetoing based on antipathies but making votes count. That’s why those adults make the difference by also using tactics. It happened to us with some moves of the knight in the past, it happened to the Labour Party who stopped attacking Blair and won with Starmer, it happened to Macron when he blocked Le Pen’s advance”.
The former mayor of Florence then seems to address the center-left exponents. “Those who worry regarding vetoes and not votes, on the other hand, do a favor to their adversaries. It happened in 2022 to Letta who with his veto sent Fratelli d’Italia to Palazzo Chigi. It happened in 2024 to Calenda who with his veto sent the sovereignists and anti-NATO to Brussels. Seeing things from abroad, I am increasingly convinced that in the coming months there will be a lot of politics. Adult politics, of course”.
The native of Rignano returns to the initial assumption. “Giorgia Meloni has begun – he emphasizes – her descent. We see it from the fact that her allies are abandoning her in Europe because her conservative leadership has not been able to make an impact. And unfortunately, Italy has not obtained any of the Top Jobs we might have hoped for. The Government has a problem with public finances. They are going back on everything they had promised, from the Telecom networks, to the former Alitalia, to the privatization of the Post Office. But above all, they cannot find the money to cut taxes for the middle class. If we do not find a way to increase the purchasing power of families, there will be an ever-increasing gap between the buildings and the squares. This is the real drama of our time, the wages of the middle class”.
