Why should the Democratic Party reject the "additional" votes of Denis Verdini's group in the Senate after having always accepted without problems the votes of confidence in Silvio Berlusconi's Monti and Letta governments, with which the Democratic Party also governed to save the legislature? This is what the leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate, Luigi Zanda, polemically asks of the dem minority, who, given in hand (37 votes of confidence granted by Berlusconi to the Monti and Letta governments), tends to explode the contradictions within the Bersan minority of his party who would even like an extraordinary congress to exorcise any future majority extended to the defectors of Forza Italia.
The truth is very simple and challenges the coherence of the Pd minority: it is evident that it makes no sense to condemn Verdini's "non-decisive" rapprochement with the government majority after having previously voted and even governed with Berlusconi and all of Forza Italia if not with the concern of the dem minority of losing bargaining power with respect to Renzi who can now have the availability of Verdini and his parliamentarians.
In the interview, Zanda also recounts how the about-face of the grillini took place on the civil unions who first wanted to vote and then surprisingly changed line a few minutes before the vote on the law.
