Enrico Letta: “Putin could have a real influence on the legislative elections of September 25”

Hit hard by the explosion of energy prices, crumbling under a debt of 2700 billion euros, Italy goes to the polls on 25th September. These legislative elections are crucial both for the Peninsula and for the European Union. The far right could rule the country. A coalition of the post-fascist party Fratelli d’Italia of Giorgia Meloni, the League of Matteo Salvini and Forza Italia of Silvio Berlusconi seems to be able to conquer power. The first is even a contender for the succession of outgoing Council President Mario Draghi. Leader of the Italian Democratic Party, former Prime Minister Enrico Letta still believes in the chances of a centre-left coalition blocking the way for the far right. He talks to Temps challenges to overcome.
