Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is convinced that he has the numbers to get the Senate reform approved and that it would be absurd to revoke the direct ineligibility of senators twice, but he does not close all the doors to the Democratic Party minority: "We have never built barricades" and "until the end we seek a meeting point" as long as "it is not the excuse to always start over".
This is the most sensitive political passage of the long interview that Renzi granted to "Corriere della Sera" in which he never fails to throw barbs at D'Alema ("We are at the paradox that whoever killed the olive tree today stands as a champion of olive growing"), to Enrico Letta ("Letta candidate in the primaries against me? I don't know but it would be fun to compare the results of the respective governments") and against the right ("Before any confrontation, ideas must be clarified" ).
After claiming the high number of reforms already implemented and those planned by his government, Renzi sarcastically affirms that "the alternative to this government and this Pd is called Matteo but Salvini has a last name" and that is, it is not "an improbable left alternative but populism”.
The prime minister is also convinced that new positive signals will come from the economic situation and reiterates his intention to decisively pursue his tax plan to cut the tax on first homes and then Irap and Irpef. Then he challenges the leader of the League: “Italy is on the move, rather than standing still: with all due respect to Salvini who organizes demonstrations to block it. But I want to see how many entrepreneurs from the North-East will stop companies due to its lockout".
