Vita gazette – Resolutions were announced, proclaiming the political end of the third pole. The leader of Action Carlo Calenda: “The single party is definitively dead. We go to the Europeans divided”. And Italia Viva leader Matteo Renzi announces a tour to reorganise Italia Viva.

The single party, repeatedly announced recently, is a dead project before seeing the light. The divorce between Renzi and Calenda is now a fact. The leader of Azione Calenda also announced that the two political forces would be divided in the European elections: “In the European elections, there will be two parties that will be separated because a project was blown up”.

The counterattack came from Renzi: I’m going back to Italy.

The leader of Italia Viva: “There is no element to break. Carlo let us know in the press that the single party was dead. It is useless to hold responsibility. I am only sorry that there was no political reason around Italy. We must start the Reformist; we need to reorganise Italia Viva. I work to build what is a need for Italy: there is political space against populisms and sovereignists, even if there is no more Calenda “.

The unrest that began after Renzi became editor of Riformista continued until the divorce. And at the moment, both sides have decided to continue their separate ways. Could the secrets of separation be hidden in these words of Calenda?

Being director and senator takes work.

 “A senator who is also the editor of a newspaper. But independence will be essential for Renzi, drawing a line between being a senator and being a director. It’s not a very simple thing. I trust his ability to distinguish the two levels, but the only thing that interests me is building a large party of liberal-democratic pragmatism. Being director and senator is not easy. When my office as minister ended two legislatures ago, I had no roles or salary for a year. I did not accept any advice from entrepreneurs I knew or anyone. If we want to transform Italy, we must have absolute transparency. Clarity of roles is essential for me. If the roles are clear, there’s no problem if they become obscure?”

Finally, Action and Italia Viva are back on their own. Announced that the two parties would be divided in the European elections. For the leader of Iv, “there is no political reason for the break”, and the error is solely Calenda’s. The reply of the founder of Action: “There is a great disappointment, but Renzi is unreliable.”
