Storm in the PDL: ex An in the balance. Polverini (for now) is not resigning

For now, there is still neither the resignation of the president of the Lazio region Renata Polverini, nor the split of the former AN from the PDL. But yesterday was a day of authentic storm in the center-right, culminating in a late evening meeting in Palazzo Grazioli between Silvio Berlusconi and the general staff of the former AN. Let's go in order: just while Franco Fiorito, the Batman of Anagni, former leader of the Pdl in the Lazio Region, was questioned by the magistrates on the scandal of the party's public funds used for oysters, champagne and so on, rumors were growing imminent resignation of Polverini, also immortalized (albeit in civilian clothes) in the photos of the ancient Roman costume parties organized by the councilor of the Pdl De Romanis (something that evoked a bit the bunga bunga, a bit the dinners of Trimalchio in ancient Rome).

At the same time the hypothesis of an exit of the former AN (in the front row La Russa and Gasparri) from the Pdl took shape to make a party back to its origins with Francesco Storace already leader of the Right. In practice, faced with Berlusconi's hesitation over his candidacy for prime minister, and uncertainty over the electoral law with the hypothesis of maintaining the Porcellum, the hypothesis of "unpacking" returned. A way to get more votes, they said around La Russa. One way to ask Berlusconi for more places on the list, in the case of Porcellum, objected the malicious ones. However, that the hypothesis was on the table was confirmed by two facts: an appeal by Senator Nania to the former ANs not to leave the parent company and the convening of a political summit with Berlusconi. TOThe term in which La Russa spoke of a positive meeting, in which the head of the PDL would have acknowledged the concerns raised by the former MSIs. The impression is that in any case everything still remains on the table: unpacking included.

As for Polverini, she hasn't resigned yet. Everything will depend on how things go in the regional council. However, the will already affirmed by the president of the Giunta to distance himself as much as possible from the scandals that are going through the entire Lazio Pdl remains. This, despite the photos that portray her at the dinner in De Romanis costume, and the threats of a possible call into question by those who are currently most under pressure.

Meanwhile, there is no shortage of disturbances and thunderstorms for the centre-left primaries as well. Thirty parliamentarians headed by the former minister ed ex popular Fioroni, ask for a sort of programmatic incompatibility (referendum on article 18 and other) for the candidacy of Vendola, whose participation is instead solicited by the secretary Bersani. Who specifies that there are no problems given that the parliamentary groups will decide on the program and its implementation (once the elections are won). By majority.
