Forza Italia at risk of split after Berlusconi's Northern League breakthrough

Great fibrillation in Forza Italia after Silvio Berlusconi's Northern League turn in Bologna - The moderates are close to saying goodbye and ready to approach Ncd, Fitto and Tosi - "If the League commands, we will give Renzi the votes of the center" - Berlusconi justifies himself : “I couldn't give Renzi and Grillo gifts”, but there is a boomerang effect.

Forza Italia at risk of split after Berlusconi's Northern League breakthrough

Faced with the wave of dissent that arises among the moderates of Forza Italia for the Northern League's turn of Silvio Berlusconi, which in Bologna shot the sprint to Matteo Salvini while receiving volleys of boos from the base of the League, the number one of Fi tries to justify himself: "I could not deliver Forza Italia to isolation, I could not allow it not to be understood whether a center-right still exists or not, I could not give this gift to Renzi and Grillo. Being present on the stage in Bologna was necessary”. But Berlusconi's choice is causing a boomerang effect in his home.

The entire moderate front of Forza Italia does not hide its disappointment: from Toti to Gelmini, from Romani to Matteoli, from Bergamini to Rossi and Tajani. "If the League commands - observes the former minister Matteoli - we give Renzi the votes of the center".

The hypothesis of a split from Forza Italia with a lot of farewell to Berlusconi and the rapprochement with other moderate groups (Fitto, Tosi, Ncd) seems to be strengthening by the hour.

Beyond the differences on the Northern League turnaround, in Forza Italia the fear of not returning to Parliament is growing among the moderates due to the risk of a possible electoral debacle. The situation is in great turmoil and surprises are not excluded in the coming days.
