Great tension in the Forza Italia house with the head of the internal opposition, Raffaele Fitto, who calls for the zeroing of the party leaders and accuses Silvio Berlusconi for the way he lost the battle for the Quirinale and for too sweet relations with Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. The result is the explosion of the Pact of the Nazarene, that is the agreement stipulated between Berlusconi and Renzi on institutional reforms.
"The pact is broken" declared Berlusconi's political adviser, Giovanni Toti, who confirmed that Forza Italia will henceforth decide from time to time how to regulate institutional reforms: whether to support or counter them.
It is possible that there are general resignations starting from the group leaders of Forza Italia, Paolo Romani in the Senate and Renato Brunetta in the Chamber.
The reaction of the Democratic Party was anything but worried. Deputy secretary Debora Serracchiani commented: “It would be better this way, without the Pact of the Nazarene it will be easier to carry out the reforms. Getting to 2018 without Brunetta and Berlusconi is much better for us". Moreover Matteo Renzi, already in the aftermath of the election of the new Head of State, had declared that he did not want to give too much weight to the wavering of the center right and that he wanted to expeditiously continue on the path of reforms, for which today important international awards from the German Treasury Minister, Schaeuble and the Fitch rating agency. And yesterday the prime minister recalled that "we have the votes to continue on the road to reforms".
