Europeans, last 24 hours of duels

Renzi: “We win the elections. And I'm not saying this because we have to do autogenic training, but because it's the reality of the facts" - Grillo: "We have already won, but we don't need revenge" - Berlusconi: "Sunday's elections are also a referendum on the third unelected government by the citizens” – Alfano: “Everyone out of his mind, we are mentally in order”.

Europeans, last 24 hours of duels

It's the last 24 of shouts, slogans and propaganda. Then the electoral silence will come before the polls, which will open on Sunday throughout Italy for the vote on the European elections. Meanwhile, the street rallies held yesterday by the leaders of the main factions are to be recorded. 

“They are discussing European elections just to figure out who will win – said the premier Matteo Renzi in Rome, in Piazza del Popolo -. The problem is solved because we win the elections. And I'm not saying this because we have to do autogenic training, but because it's the reality of the facts". Then an answer to Grillo, guilty of having quoted Enrico Berlinguer: “Hands off names that do not belong to those who do not even have the right to pronounce them – thundered the number one of the Democratic Party -. You don't put the word 'I am beyond Hitler' and then Berlinguer in the same sentence. Rinse your mouth."

In Florence, however, a Beppe Grillo with peaceful tones: “We have already won, but we don't need revenge – clarified the Genoese comedian -. What we express is good anger. When we send them home, we will accompany them with a caress and tell them: come, it's over". 

As for Silvio Berlusconi, the ex Cavaliere preferred to take advantage of the occasion to threaten the government: “Sunday's elections – he said – are also a referendum on the third government not elected by the citizens, the Renzi government. Think what would have happened to us if we had done certain things. I'm back from an impressive tour de force, but luckily I'm young and can handle 20 hours of continuous effort. Renzi is a disappointment”.

Finally, Angelino Alfano he is sure that his Ncd will go "well over 4%", i.e. the threshold for entering the European Parliament: "Hearing what the leaders are saying these days, it seems to me that everyone is out of their minds - he continued in Turin the Minister of the Interior -. One calls the other a murderer, the other says he wants to vivisect a dog and then, to correct himself, says he wants to dissect the man. It therefore seems to me that the space for our electoral proposal is widening. We are serene, mentally at ease”.
