In an interview with print , the former CEO of Fastweb explained that he had made available “to help out” and again last night reiterated that “I will not be the new leader.” “I want to try – he added – to regenerate the center with a liberal political agenda and popular alternative to the center-left and competitor with 5 Star.” Knight was impressed by the suggestions evoked and you’re left groped by the idea of ​​entrusting the car keys in the hands of a manager so determined and decisive. Last Saturday it was discussed at Arcore: present Renato Brunetta and Paolo Romani who began to raise barricades. A particular type and decisive? Even too much.

But we do not care a center on tiptoe. ” As for Ncd, the problem is with the voting contrary to the statement made by referendum Parisi that creates some embarrassment to the Renzi allies in government. In addition to this, Mr Fabrizio Cicchitto adds: “With all the respect I have for Stefano Parisi even to him at national level can succeed sleight of getting rid Matteo Salvini, Giorgia Meloni, and the respective parties.” And Raffaele Lease, leader of Conservatives and Reformists, observes: “Discussion useful but no personalities and locked rooms.
