For now (a necessary phrase in these uncertain times and premise of each speech) the announcement is scheduled for Sunday night, when a guest from What’s the weather like Carlo Calenda will explain to Fabio Fazio the reasons why he decided to run for mayor of Rome. And it will do so in a spirit that is not hostile to the Democratic Party, in fact “together we win”, as they would demonstrate, the board, the surveys of the infallible Ghisleri. Basically: Calenda, on her own, is stronger than the Rays and the only alternative to the right, if the Democratic Party supports her. But he will do it, which is not a detail, without making the great abjuration on the reasons why he opposes the government, an abjuration that someone considers necessary because it is difficult to ask the Democratic Party to win in Rome with a mayor in opposition to the government . .
Anyone anxious to know how this story of the Rome mayoral candidate, who fills the newspapers as if he were voting tomorrow, will turn out, will surely be disappointed. Calenda’s is a move, let’s face it, a good move, in a chess game that will last for months. He says: I am running, taking advantage of the uncertainties of the Democratic Party that has no names, after the no of Sassoli, Letta, Gabrielli, and I do it my way, in fact starting the electoral campaign, creating an opinion movement, arguing and arguing. . , showing which worlds I move. And so when the Democratic Party decides to decide, it will have a strong candidate in the field so it becomes more difficult to say no than to say yes. Bad that goes, it is the subtext, with the focus of Rome, Action, the small party of Calenda, it can only go up even at the national level.
The movement results in a counter movement. Let’s open a parenthesis, which is not so much a detail: contagion, emergency, confinement, so to speak. In this climate of uncertainty it is difficult to predict everything, even when voting: will it be at the end of May next year or will we vote in June? Who knows, much less the primaries that, scheduled for December, are postponed until February, as they say, God willing (that’s right). Which is not so much a drama because in the absence of a strong candidate for the Democratic Party, the famous primaries of the seven dwarfs would have been. And perhaps that is why Calenda also said that he was willing to do them, even knowing that they are not done, when at first he was very reticent, fearing that, in a consultation with a few participants, the Democratic Party still had the strength to mobilize the tough core. of militancy on a candidate to defeat him. Which then was the idea of Goffredo Bettini: let’s beat him in the primaries and if he loses we get him out of the way.
We said, the opposite movement. Explained this morning by Andrea Romano announcement Agora, with the blessing of the Nazarene: “We need a special law on Rome, the majority of the government must take charge of it together with a reflection on a common candidate.” Translated: the emergency requires a new law on the capital, on the powers and resources that Rome can count on, which also has constitutional status. If this need is felt by the majority forces, the Democratic Party and the Five Stars in the first place, then a common reflection on a common candidate becomes natural. Translated again: the Democratic Party is waiting to understand if there are margins for the Rays to withdraw and how the discussion about Rome matures, within a national table of cities that, although not formalized, is already underway. In Turin the two parties are talking about the need for civility, in Milan, thanks to Sala’s great friendship with Grillo, the discussion began in a serene way, in Naples the idea of Roberto Fico pleases Franceschini who, according to the Most Rogue At that point, I would point to the role of Speaker of the Chamber to face the Quirinal party from the third position of the State.
Then the wait. Also linked to the legal affairs of the Raggi, on which the Court of Appeal of Rome will rule on October 19, in relation to the trial for falsification on the question of the appointment, then retired, of Renato Marra, brother of his former hand right Raffaele, in front of the Roma Capitale Tourism Department. If the acquittal of the first degree was not confirmed, it would be easier, even within the Movement, to “download” it, more after the good example of Chiara Appendino. Or there would be a pressure element anyway. Because another point of this story is that she, Virginia, has no intention of giving up, but has been abandoned by almost everyone. In the Movement, only Di Battista would be scandalized by his sacrifice at the altar of the alliance with the Democratic Party and many concerns were also spread among municipal councilors who support him: “If you take 14 percent, this is the sense of the reasoning”. – We chose only three. “However, in a Movement where there is no longer an” anything goes “called Grillo or Casaleggio, no one can coldly have the strength to impose a step back.
And let’s go back to waiting for the Democratic Party. If the Raggi jumps, bingo, but if he doesn’t jump (and Calenda’s descent to the field is on this premise), one of two: either he supports Calenda, as the so-called reform wing of the party would like, or he needs another stronger candidate. di Calenda, whose limit for Zingaretti is not to be competitive in the second round because the Five Stars would not vote for him. And if, on the contrary, the candidate was Nicola himself, faced with a situation involved and the risk of losing Rome at a time when the secretary of the Democratic Party is roman from ‘roma? Just asking the question runs the risk of warm denial for many obvious reasons: you must resign as President of the Region, you must also resign as Secretary, at the risk of losing region and party. But the reasoning was done, although for the moment it was put aside. There are those who call it “the weapon of the end of the world”, because it is daring, but politically it has its own logic: it would put the Five Star in crisis, it would be a candidacy capable of being filled in the second round, it could push Calenda one step back, too, He would also draw consensus on the Lazio vote on election day. And then Rome is Rome, the mayor is a national leader, just remember Rutelli and Veltroni. At the moment the hypothesis is not on the agenda, because the end of the world weapon requires, in fact, the end of the world. There is only the beginning of a long game of chess, waiting for the knight to move.
