ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “If we were allied with Vannacci the votes would not be submerged: a right-hand imbalance, chasing the populist themes, we would lose the moderate and reformist vote that on the contrary we must intercept”. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Vice-Secretary of Forza Italia and President of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, traces the route of the party and excludes the usefulness of an alliance with the movement of Roberto Vannacci.
“I note a widespread temptation to chase Vannacci. But I think it’s a strategic mistake. He tries to build a party similar to the German Afd. The votes he will collect by talking to the voters’ belly are useless. Populists emphatize problems, identify the culprit but are not able to locate solutions. Vannacci doesn’t need the training center. It has a fundamental resource to win: Giorgia Meloni. In the election campaign it is formidable” continued Occhiuto, who then speaks of electoral law: “The electoral reform, which I hope will soon be approved because Parliament must work on measures that are more felt by citizens, has been formulated in Italy’s interest to ensure stability and a certain government.”.
On Marina Berlusconi: “I’m probably one of the leaders who talks less about Marina Berlusconi. I consider it an important cultural reference, the guardian of the liberal and innovative spirit of his father. For this reason I look with a certain nuisance to those who pull it for the jacket, as if it were to her build the future of FI: that is our task, of politics. The best way to exalt the name of Berlusconi is to update the lesson, not to download on the children responsibilities they have not asked. Tajani must be recognized the merit of having guided FI wisely in the delicate passage followed by the disappearance of Berlusconi. However, the party still has the liberal and innovative role it had?. My answer? I think he can find her if he doesn’t close. And I try to make my contribution to the discussion. Not to insidiate the secretary, to help him. A party that discusses themes is alive. If he speaks only of balances or congresses he is dead. The themes I propose? Two very concrete: abolition of the car stamp for all and no tax area for under 30 or 35 years. The government has done so much at the tax level. But many voters don’t remember. Let’s do our Berlusconi lesson: give clear messages. In the last year of legislation it is even more vital.”.
