Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda
Elections 2022, the Calenda-Renzi couple does not break through in the polls
In the great confusion that was created after the vote with the announced victory of Meloni and the center-right, it is not adequately considered that there is a loser who pretends to have won: it is Renzi and Calenda’s Third Pole.
Of course, victory or defeat always depends on what point of view you look at. If the aim was to make the center-left lose Renzi and Calenda they succeeded, but even if they had been allies, the situation would not have changed much. The Lescano duo takes 7.7% and – at first glance – it would seem a success, but on the face of it it is not at all. Indeed, it is Calenda himself who had set the bar at 10% to admit at first: “I have to be honest, below 10% is a defeat”.
Then during the day there was the usual topological transformation of geometric reality and the “threshold of joy” has changed away in a fork between 7.5 and 9 and coincidentally 7.7 falls right in the middle so as to make the management team say “it was a great success”, but in reality, both from a percentage and a strategic point of view, the result is a loser, whatever you think Ettore Rosatonational coordinator of Italia Viva.
Instead for Maria Elena Boschi the losers are the others and not them: «It seems to me that, given in hand, the losers are Letta and Salvini. Perhaps if Letta had not been guided by personal rancor, perhaps today the results would have been different. It is certain that the joke about the “personal grudge” that the resigning secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta would have been able to spare, given what he did to him Matteo Renzi when he was secretary of the Democratic Party with the famous: “Enrico, be calm”.
And if in recent days someone from Italia Viva has been seen, those from Action have disappeared. Only the next day Mara Carfagna would have claimed its constituency to the south and Maria Stella Gelmini North. However, in the Third Pole there is an air of demobilization and the MEB itself says this by marking the boundaries between “us” of Iv and “them” of Action. “Our people, from Milan for example, let us know that we are in all the seats that are reaching us between 15 and 35 percent, even in many seats we are the first partywe are between 15 and 20 in Florence, we are doing very well with the double figures in Rome which is the capital of Italy ».
In the meantime, Renzi has removed all the logos referring to the Third Pole from his social networks and flew to Japan.
Carlo Calenda he then tried to get his hands on saying that: “The single groups in the Chambers are foreseen in the agreement with Italia viva, in addition to those, the process will now start to create a single party that will not be the sum of Action and Italy alive but something bigger and more open “. It will take time but that is the clear direction”, but it looks more like an escape forward than a political project, perhaps mindful of the trick he played several years ago Antonio Di Pietro to Walter Veltroni that in a similar condition the group of Italia dei Valori was then separated.
The fact remains that the Third Pole has failed not only the percentage objective but also the strategic one because with the clear victory of the center-right it cannot even be the “third oven” and has also been surpassed by Forza Italia. And the teasing that call it Sesto Polo are already beginning to turn.
