The secretary of Azione on Rai Radio 1: “Renzi is with the left today, with Vannacci tomorrow. Marattin is now moving to the right but was the rapporteur for the Superbonus in the Conte II government.” Iv remains in the centre-left, the Libdems are looking to Meloni, whilst Azione and Picierno are in Bologna on 7 November

“President Napolitano stood in the way, preventing the whole truth from coming to light. I had hundreds of Mafia members arrested. Matteo Renzi put them forward as candidates.” The video response from the former public prosecutor (now part of the broad coalition with Onorato and La Vardera’s Civic Project) following the former prime minister’s remarks at the Festa del Foglio

First the scene with the lawyer from "Le barzellette", then the thousand absurd excuses put forward by John Belushi. The film-loving speech by the leader of IV in the Senate

Tajani, Occhiuto, Renzi and Giorgetti are pursuing more or less the same idea as Portugal’s Irs Jovem. But for the Fund, the incentives do not affect the key factors driving emigration

Between Conte and Schlein, I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.”

Calenda, Renzi, Marattin, Tajani, Occhiuto, Magi and Onorato. The centre is not a political space. It is a dispute amongst flat-owners. Everyone wants to live in the same block, provided that they are the property manager, the neighbour upstairs is evicted and the caretaker has no ties to Giuseppe Conte.

The Rome city councillor has struck a deal with Controcorrente, the movement led by Ismaele La Vardera, which is hugely popular on the island. The former ‘Iena’ presenter will bring his votes to Onorato and, in return, hopes for the support of the M5S and that section of the PD which backs the Roman councillor in an anti-Renzi bid for the Sicilian regional elections.
