There is not only the extreme left in the field for the NO, but also the right strikes a blow. After weeks of silence, the leader of Forza Italia, Silvio Berlusconi, intervenes to pronounce "a convinced NO" to the next constitutional referendum.
So far the ex Cavaliere, while siding with the NO despite having approved the reform of the Constitution in the first parliamentary readings, has chosen a low tone, in this advised by his sons and by the leaders of Mediaset who have never approved the breaking of the so-called Pact of Nazareno (which was nothing more than a method of dialogue with the Premier Matteo Renzi) after the setback suffered in the election of the President of the Republic that brought Sergio Mattarella to the Quirinale.
It will now be a question of whether Berlusconi will continue to lead a battle with moderate tones in favor of the NO or if he will decide to change pace in view of the final weeks preceding the popular consultation.
Strilli instead heralds the former fascist wing of the right which yesterday in Rome presented the No committee created by the former mayor John Alemanno in the company of former MSI Maurizio Gasparri and Francesco Storace and the former minister Renato Brunetta, once a socialist, whose drift to the right seems to know no bounds.
