Rome, 1 Apr. (LaPresse) – ‘I say this with respect to Calenda, but if someone who is an opposition member offers his stage to the government and the majority to make fun of and insult the opposition, it is no longer opposition, it is something else’. This was stated by Nicola Fratoianni of Avs to SkyTg24 microphones during ‘Start’. ‘Some things are simpler than you think,‘ continued the leader of the Italian Socialist Party. “You can have different positions, say ”I find it more difficult to form an alliance with you’, but if I offer my platform to the government and its majority as a tool and a place to attack the opposition, I'm doing something else. In the end, Calenda was better in the summer of 2022, when he went around stationers all over Italy looking for the Draghi diary he had lost.’ ’You can't say and do everything and the opposite of everything, you can't ally yourself with the right in a region and then be in opposition. Calenda has tried to characterise himself in recent years as the champion of the fight against populism, who was Calenda's public enemy number one? Populism, he has said it everywhere in any programme, and he attends many of them. But what is more populist – concludes Fratoianni – than being a bit with the right and a bit with those who fight against the right? It is the maximum of populism, it is pure populism, it is the idea that there is no difference, and it is unacceptable, it doesn't work like that’.
