Broad field analysis and electoral forecasts in the interview granted to Repubblica by Angelo Bonelli, co-leader of Alliance, Greens and Left. First of all, a verdict for the opposition: “Avs has played and continues to play a bridging role within this coalition.” The message to allies is unequivocal: “We do not intend to be spectators of a dualism or a leadership contest that is not understood by Italians, who ask us for unity and a program that addresses the emergencies in the face of a right wing that has fiercely attacked social and environmental rights and made Italians poorer.”

Angelo Bonelli, from the dry banks of the Po the delirious attack on Giorgia Meloni
From “Meloni come to Parliament to report” to “Meloni come to the banks of the Po to realize the …
Bonelli goes straight to the point: “The dual leadership contest between Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte in our opinion risks being absolutely harmful. What Conte said about Ukraine and rearmament is a known position, we need to start working on the content and the program. It may seem trivial, but it is not at all. I use public transport and meet many people, students, workers and pensioners who tell me: ‘But will you agree to send them home?’. Out there they ask us for unity, this is what people expect. And my invitation to Conte and Schlein is to speed up on the program, as Avs we are no longer willing to wait. We have 7% of the votes – Bonelli explains – we do not want to be spectators. On the contrary, we want to have a stabilizing function for the coalition and we hope that the fourth leg organizes itself and joins soon, with a convergence between Magi, Ruffini, Onorato, Spatafora and Renzi. In the real country we are already the majority and we have the duty to expand this alliance. The point is the program and the confrontation on the most divisive issues,” he emphasizes. In short, even the very green Bonelli understands that the broad field is only a hypothesis: split on decisive issues and, above all, without a shred of a program.
Angelo Bonelli, delirium about the National Team: “The right should leave football alone”
The heat is getting to his head. Angelo Bonelli knows this well who, after the National Team chaos, comes out with one of his. The p…
Bonelli then lists his priorities and surreal figures on the victims of the heat: “We must invest in work, combat the desertification of industrial areas, deal with a climate crisis that in Italy has dried up rivers, while thousands of hectares of land go up in smoke and in some areas of the country water is rationed. Heat waves have killed 15,000 people in Europe and we face a right wing that denies climate change: can our issue really be the leadership contest? We remain of the opinion that it would be desirable to find a political agreement among allies.” The primaries, the crucial issue: “I hope they are not held, but it is clear that in case of primaries whoever wins will interpret the program, not dictate the line: for us that would be unacceptable. We must be a progressive, democratic, ecological and pacifist alliance. This is what Italians who look to us with hope expect.”
