The photo of Elly Schlein hugged to Matthew Renzon the football pitch in L'Aquila, where the national team of politicians faced the national team of singers for charity, says it all and needs no comments. It is only the confirmation of something new that emerged immediately after the European elections which saw the fall of Schlein's vetoes towards Italy Viva and the end of Italia Viva's reluctance to join the broad camp conceived by the secretary of Pd to try to build the alternative to Meloni government. While waiting for the September IV congress, Renzi does not say it explicitly but makes it clear that, without prejudice to this electoral law, the dream of the Third Pole it's pure illusion and that it's time to think about an updated re-release of the Margherita that he makes a choice of side and forms a stable alliance with the centre-left, while maintaining his autonomy. It would be a great innovation that can open up new political scenarios in Italy even if the path will not be all downhill because, in addition to the desire to ally, it will be necessary to imagine a common strategy and a program based on clear objectives, coherent with each other and capable of outlining a common vision on the future of Italy. There are many issues to be resolved (the referendum on Jobs Act and justice policy to mention only the most obvious ones) but if the will is common, even mountains can be climbed. Elly and Matteo, courage.
Renzi-Schlein, the embrace on the football field opens the way to the wide field with IV ally of the center-left
Between Italia Viva and the Democratic Party, a change in strategy is looming that can bring the broad field of the center-left closer together: an end to the vetoes and the start of the alliance strategy. It won't be an easy road but for Italian politics it is certainly important news
