" I am not with Salvini and Meloni, but I am not with Fratoianni and Di Maio either. If these are the sides, I will run alone in the center. After that, if in the center, as I hope, there will also be others ... we will see".
This was stated by Matteo Renzi, guest of half an hour more on Rai 3 , taking stock of the electoral campaign and the negotiations between the parties for alliances.
Renzi explained that Italia Viva speaks and points to the center, thus communicating with those who propose themselves for the center, starting with Action .
“ Carlo Calenda is thinking about it, we will respect him. I don't see him in coalition with Fratoianni . To those who say that it is a vote given to a small party, I say that it is a vote to a party that will be decisive in the next legislature as in this one ".
" My goal as Italia Viva is to exceed 5% ", added the former premier and former leader of the Democratic Party, recalling that "in this Parliament we had 3% of parliamentarians. If with 3% we managed to save the Italy from Papeete, send Conte home and bring Draghi, let alone what we can do with the 5% ".
As for the Democratic Party, Renzi explained to Lucia Annunziata, “ Enrico Letta the day after the call of the electoral rallies said 'we do not want Iv and Renzi but a great alliance that holds together from Di Maio to Fraotianni'. It is absolutely legitimate, but I tell you that, without personal names and aspects, does it seem credible that you can defeat Meloni and Salvini, who are problems by putting together ideas that are the opposite of what the Democratic Party has always thought ? I don't believe that you win with the piles, you win with clear ideas ".
And again: “When I was secretary, my rule was that the Democratic Party should not raise taxes . Raising the inheritance tax is insane. In the countries where it exists, taxes are lower than in Italy. We have a country that lives by paying too much taxes, can we at least die for free and have free inheritance? ". Reference to the proposal made by Letta of an inheritance tax for multimillionaires, in order to finance a" dowry "for 18-year-olds.
