Now it is official: it will be Silvia Salis the name with which Matteo Renzi will try to sit at the table of the broad field. The leader of Italia Viva wears the humble outfit and announces three steps back: he does not intend to run in the center-left primaries and will not ask for a safe seat in Parliament. But, above all, he does not ask for a seat for himself at the center-left program table: better a mayor, like Salis, indeed. Or alternatively, from Genoa to Naples: Gaetano Manfredi.

Moves that will help make the construction of a center-left alliance easier. Or rather, to make IV’s entry more digestible to the allies of the broad field who would gladly do without it: M5s and Avs. The triple announcement came at the national Unity festival in Reggio Emilia, in a discussion with Dario Franceschini, at his first public appearance after the interview in which he revealed he has Parkinson’s.

Applause for Franceschini. But also many for Renzi. And mutual, unprecedented, displays of affection, considering that years ago Renzi had called Franceschini “the vice-disaster” and Franceschini had compared Renzi to the scorpion in Aesop’s fable. Flattering words from the start and then an exchange of messages to try to have dinner together right after the meeting: “This applause is for Dario and we know why,” Renzi said as he took the stage.

“This applause is for Renzi who returns after 10 years,” Franceschini said, referring to the fact that the last time Renzi participated in the national Unity festival was in 2018. Then the substance. “There are those who say: I don’t want to see Renzi in the photo with Schlein, Conte and Avs – Renzi said -. I should not be in that photo, I don’t want to be. We are willing to be represented by someone who is not Renzi: I would identify a mayor or a female mayor” like “Salis and Manfredi”.

Attention, not just to represent IV, but the entire center galaxy, from Più Uno of Ernesto Maria Ruffini to Primavera of Vincenzo Spadafora. On the Civic Project of Alessandro Onorato Renzi is cooler: “I saw that Ingroia entered it, I wish good luck to a party that has Ingroia inside but it is not my home, it is the symbol of judicialism”. Meanwhile Franceschini dictated the roadmap: “To avoid doing the primaries, the center-left leaders should meet and decide: you do this or that. The that is not there. And you do this is very difficult. For us it would be difficult to vote for a 5s and for the 5s to vote for the Pd secretary. The best situation is the primaries. If they become divisive we deserve to lose“. And if there is no time to do the program first, “an agreement on ten points should be found”.

Franceschini weaves, Renzi casts hooks. “If the challenge were between Conte and Schlein I would vote Schlein, whether she likes it or not. If the race were wider, Renzi candidate? I don’t see this thing, it doesn’t seem to me that my candidacy makes sense”. Better Salis.
