Fratoianni is fed up with Schlein and Conte | Libero Quotidiano.it

Between two quarrelers, the third gets annoyed. Nicola Fratoianni is a two-faced leader. Extremely unlikely, if not terrifying, when he talks about his plans to revive Italy, from the wealth tax to uncontrolled immigration, to the explosion of public debt to finance a subsistence economy. Very concrete, at times very clear-headed, in political politicking and the game of consensus, from power relations within the broad field to the choice of cheap figurines to run as candidates that he turns into mines of votes. Not by chance, in this legislature, he has doubled the weight of Avs, from the 3.6% obtained in the 2022 general elections to the potential 7% that many pollsters credit him with today.

WARNING TO MEMBERS
Well, the head of Sinistra Italiana took advantage of the closure of parliamentary activity to send a clear message to the duelists of the broad field, Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte, the first engaged in her usual summer eclipse, the second very busy around Italy promoting himself and his self-hagiographic book, before the one by the mayor of Genoa, Silvia Salis, comes out. Enough, we can’t stand it – and above all I can’t stand it anymore – the personalisms of those two, is the outburst that, in summary, the handsome Nicola, an action-oriented man from Foligno, delivered to Sergio Casagrande. The brilliant director of Corriere dell’Umbria, the home newspaper of the “Fratolotti”, Fratoianni is married to his partner Elisabetta Piccolotti, who later also became a colleague, with this scoop interview published today in double page he aims to lead the political debate in the broad field of the week that will take us to the Ferragosto break.

Faced with the choice between Elly and Giuseppi, the leader of Sinistra Italiana first played diplomat, explaining that «they are both figures who have all the qualifications to run the government of the country». Then, pressed by Casagrande, fearing his nose would become too long, he said what he really thinks: «Responsibility is needed from both, leading the broad field is not a foot race.

The issue of who comes first and wins the primaries cannot be a priority over the goal of winning the elections». Fratoianni cannot say everything, but even so what he thinks is quite clear: with their intense rivalry, both the leader of the Democratic Party and that of the Five Star Movement are losing credibility, they give the impression of caring more about their personal success than the fate of the left and, if they continue like this, they will end up weakening the coalition.

And then, provokes the man from Foligno, who said that the burden of leading Italy must necessarily fall on one of the two? «Avs can also express its own candidate; indeed, from my point of view, based on our programmatic priorities, we have the ideal profile to lead the country».

A self-candidacy? Rather perhaps a way to make it clear that he too, like Maurizio Landini’s Cgil, has a good package of votes with which he can influence the outcome of the primaries. Also because, rereading his statements on the Schlein-Conte competition, how can you blame him?
«If the perception (which therefore already exists and is established; ed.) grows that a knot that has to do only with personal ambitions, however legitimate, cannot be untied, a problem could arise in making the effectiveness of an alternative proposal understood», concludes Fratoianni, making it clear that the broad field is not only late, but has used the time from the victory in the justice referendum in March until today counterproductively.

«We can no longer remain still waiting for the leadership issue to be resolved», is the final appeal; and for once a convergence between Sinistra Italiana and what Dario Franceschini thinks can be glimpsed: out with these two troublemakers, let’s bet on a third. The eternal (former) Democratic Culture Minister thinks of Pierluigi Bersani, a posthumous re-edition of the well-known attempt at Pd-M5S synthesis that marked the political end of the former secretary; Elly does not want him, the grillini hesitate, who knows what judgment Fratoianni has of the boutade… For what? Here perhaps a survey released by the polling institute Analisi Politiche on the non-negotiable values of the Avs electorate, which Nicola knows inside out, can come to the rescue.

ELECTORATE PRIORITIES
Asked which flagship issue the party absolutely cannot give up in the name of the broad field, the vast majority of militants interviewed answered that they would change their vote if a tightening of immigration policies were accepted or if steps back were taken in battles for civil rights. Issues that are dearer to Fratoianni even than the minimum wage, the fight against nuclear power, and funding for Ukraine. Perhaps also for this reason Conte and Schlein hesitate and not a line has yet been written on the common program: the broad field risks splitting into three.
