Berlusconi superpartes, ecumenical, Christian Democrat, Catholic and even green
First he swiped Bruno Vespa, for fear of uncomfortable questions, then Silvio Berlusconi chose to send a letter (and not to be seen) to Gianfranco Rotondi who in Milan, at the Cavalieri hotel in Piazza Missori, with the participation of the mayor Beppe Sala, and of the directors Alessandro Sallusti and Peter Gomez, moderated by Antonio Pascotto, presents his book ‘The variant DC’. And the words of the former Knight, in fact, constitute his official candidacy to the Quirinale. The president of Forza Italia, who for years accused first the communists and then grillini of ruining the country, now takes off the role of partisan leader and becomes ecumenical.
“The Italian political scenario, after the end of the Christian Democracy, has evolved in a bipolar sense, and I believe this is good for our democracy. A bipolarism, however, in some stages immature – and this was certainly not a good thing – a bipolarism for too long based on the demonization of the opponent, considered not as an interlocutor and as a competitor, but as an enemy to be destroyed. I believe that one of the historical merits of the government Dragons, beyond the excellent work of contrasting the pandemic and economic restart, is precisely that of having created the conditions to return – once this extraordinary and unrepeatable experience is exhausted – to a more mature bipolarism, based on respect for the other and on the common sense of belonging to the nation, to the homeland that represents us all, to its Constitution, to its democratic institutions “, underlined Berlusconi.
The latter is the key phrase: the left, understood as Democratic Party but also as a 5 Star Movement and LeU, is no longer an opponent to fight and the turning point came with the arrival of Draghi at Palazzo Chigi. Then the former Cav also sends a message to Giorgia Meloni, just so as not to lose the votes of the Brothers of Italy, and writes: “This applies to those who have responsibly chosen like us to support that government experience as well as to those who have just as legitimately chosen to oppose it”.
To be elected to the presidency of the Republicthen, the votes of the many parliamentarians who belong to the group are also needed Mixed And Autonomies, many of which draw on the experience of Christian Democracy. And the transition is ready for them too. The political history of Christian Democracy in Italy is “an experience that everyone must look at with respect, even those who have never been Christian Democrats, because it has allowed us all to live in a free and prosperous of the West Dear Gianfranco (Rotondo, ed), I am sorry that circumstances do not allow me to participate in the presentation of your book, as I would have liked to do. It is a book that I have read with great interest and for which I congratulate you “, the ex-Knight begins.
“With a journalistic slant, your book tells one of the most important parts of the history of our country, the decline of Christian Democracy as an organized political subject, with its history, its symbols, its political and organizational structures, and together it describes the persistence – in the politics of the second republic – of many aspects that are in different ways attributable to that history, to that identity , to those values ”.
Finally, he could not fail on the part of Berlusconi a reminder to Pope francesco, signal to Catholics, and one to Europe, signal again to Pd, to the centrists, not only Renzians, and to the governors of the M5S (Luigi Di Maio in the lead). And even a green quote on the importance of environmentalism. “In this common belonging to a nation, to a community made up of people, each of whom bears an absolute value, we find the most illustrious legacy of Christian Democracy. This is why your great effort to keep this memory and these values alive, combining them today with a sensitivity to the environment that is increasingly present in the Magisterium of Pope francesco, it is a noble attempt that has great political significance “.
“After all, those Christian values and those liberal principles are precisely the strong roots on which Forza Italia is based. Our models are the great Christian-democratic figures, De Gasperi, Adenauer, Schuman, who were the founding fathers of the great European dream. Forza Italia is proud to represent the great European political family in our country, that of Popular, which is an expression of these values and this idea of Europe. The more these values, this method, this vision of Italy and Europe will be able to unite the country, going beyond political differences and a healthy and necessary bipolar opposition, the better the future will be for all of us and for the country. that we love. Thanks again, dear Gianfranco, and a cordial greeting to the speakers and all the participants “.
Berlusconi super-partes, ecumenical, Christian Democrat, Catholic and even environmentalist. Silvio really worked hard to find the right words. In other words, he worked hard to find the missing votes in Parliament to be elected President on the fourth ballot. According to the rumors of Palazzo, before this letter a Round Berlusconi lacked, on paper, everything to be verified, between 10 and 15 votes to reach 505 and become Head of State in the fourth vote.
