Leopolda 14: Renzi opens up to Forza Italia and sets conditions on the wide field

On the one hand, an opening to the center and to the reformists of Forza Italia. On the other hand, some "clarifications" for the broad field, in the form of guarantees requested from the allies, starting with Giuseppe Conte. Matteo Renzi closes the fourteenth edition of Leopolda in Florence and indicates Italia Viva's conditions for staying in the coalition.

«We don't veto anyone», says the leader of IV, who addresses those in the center who he considers «leaders or presumed leaders»: «I tell them we don't want to annex anyone. Let's not continue with the "we want a synthesis" argument." Then the explicit invitation: «Come into this new thing. Mine is an appeal to the reformists of Forza Italia, leave it. The doors are open, come and give us a hand."

On the alliance front, Renzi starts with Elly Schlein: «She left the Democratic Party when the Jobs act was made. You can't vouch for me." The proposal is "a German-style contract". The guarantees requested from Conte are three. The first: that Matteo Salvini "no longer goes to the Interior Ministry as in the past". The second: that Giancarlo Giorgetti "no longer goes to the Council of Ministers", because "he is considered the competent one but he gets the sums wrong". The third: never be "never on the side of Donald Trump, a man who destroyed the American dream". To these is added a request on the Hill: «Never go to the Quirinale a sovereignist or a populist but a pro-European».

Giorgetti is also back in the spotlight on the banking dossier: "What he did with Unicredit is infamous, he must stop intervening in the banking risk."

The guarantees, Renzi assures, are valid in both directions: «Just as we ask for guarantees, we are available to give guarantees». As for the leadership, Iv is ready to support "the person closest to us" in the primaries, with a warning: "If you accept the logic of the primaries, you will go all the way with the logic of the primaries."
