Matteo Renzi's fear is that Orlando wants to trap him in the course of the revision of the electoral law, pushing for the Spanish system. A punch in the eye for Italia Viva. "That - Renzi reassured his family— Orlando only wants it to scare me, but in reality Forza Italia, Fratelli d'Italia, 5 Stelle and Leu are against. Franceschini wants proportional, that is, a system in which the colleges of the Rosatellum are removed, while the same threshold of 3% would be maintained. or at most it would take it to 4%. And I understand it. He believes that this way each party can go on its own".
A path that Renzi, however, could accept: "We preferred the true majority, but without the single chamber it makes no sense now. The legal matter has blocked our expansion, but I believe I have a hard core of 5 percent. So we're fine with ".
Rosatellum is not very popular with everyone: "He wants a piece of the Democratic Party - explains Renzi - because so he hopes to make alliances. But they are wrong. I do not want to be allied with the Democratic Party and the Sardines, who are now taking away votes from the Democratic Party, it would be good to go it alone".
Matteo Salvini could also converge on the proportional: "Sure - explains Renzi - such a solution seems like a slap in the face to Salvini, but I believe that in the end he could accept it if they send him to the vote. To vote each on their own to join forces later".
On the vote Renzi says: "If you go with the Italicum, you are giving Salvini 70 percent of the Parliament. And who feels like giving the country to him?".
"With the proportional, however, it would be easier to go to the elections, and after that there would be a very high possibility of not electing a president of the sovereign republic, because the League would not have 70% of Parliament".
On the negotiations with Salvini: “It's bullshit put around to damage me and annoy me. On the other hand, the possibility of voting is not "bullshit". It is by no means certain that the government will hold up. It got to the point that they wanted to raise taxes to spite me. Crazy. And then if it comes to being together to fight from morning to evening, then better the vote. I don't want it, but what I had to do I did. I blocked the increase in VAT and the microbalzelli, so if they force us we are ready. The government must be clear that if it wants to move forward, it needs a real breakthrough otherwise it will not really go anywhere ".
The Government are not calm after the declarations of Matteo Renzi, so much so that it is news today that in the event of the fall of the Government a decree law would be ready, carefully answered in the drawer, to sterilize the VAT increase.
