There is no summary on Kiev yet: it will be found on Tuesday or it will be the final task of the leaders. The long-awaited table on foreign policy of the centre-left meets in the afternoon for several hours and addresses, among other things, the age-old topic of Ukraine, a thorn in the side of the broad camp. The situation froze at the first rapprochement which occurred in mid-October when in the Chamber for the first time the Pd, M5s and Avs - despite bringing forward different requests - had not expressed votes against on the sensitive points of the respective resolutions, deciding to abstain. The Democratic Party, for its part, had reiterated the need for support for Kiev without expressly mentioning weapons; M5s had 'only' lashed out against "the continuous sending of armaments".
But the final objective to be put on paper in the common program has not yet been achieved. Also because the centrists also sit at the table, from Più Europa to IV, whose positions are far from those of the Five Star Movement and Avs.
Yet, there is no shortage of points of contact: from the meeting emerges the need to build a clear discontinuity with respect to the Meloni government's foreign policy on the international scene that brings Italy back to its diplomatic and peace tradition, to European protagonism, to multilateral commitment, to the spirit of Helsinki with the need to support international law without double standards (in relation to the Middle Eastern situation). A solution - from what is filtered - particularly appreciated by the 5 Star Movement which has been calling for a change for some time. The table will adjourn next Tuesday to delve deeper into the questions still open, on which in any case everyone has confirmed their commitment and determination to arrive at a synthesis, in the knowledge that on many points there has already been a broad convergence.
Between the unifying impulses and the need to support their own identity positions, the parties are preparing for the electoral campaign that is about to get underway. Amendments to the maneuver to be signed all together and a joint motion on the Pnrr to ask for the establishment of a special commission to monitor and evaluate the Plan.
The red-greens in the Chamber present the proposal for a public sovereign fund to make the state's assets profitable on international markets and redistribute earnings to citizens, with the aim of supporting pensions of up to 85 billion euros a year from 2047. They will shortly illustrate it to the allies to include it in the program. "It is a large investment that we want to make for the future", underlines Angelo Bonelli, indicating the need to guarantee "dignified public pensions for citizens".
Movements also at the center, with former minister Vincenzo Spadafora commissioning an Ipsos poll that speaks clearly: divided, the formations of the centrist and reformist area of the center-left remain far from the threshold; united in a single list, they surpass it and can count on a potential pool that goes beyond 6%. On the M5s front, after the suggestion made by Rocco Casalino of a pact on the Quirinale, Beppe Grillo intervenes causticly: "Conte capable of anything... even being president of the Republic".
