In Liguria, the definitive break between Italia Viva and the 5 Star Movement marks the end of the so-called “Largo Field”. Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, declared his exit from the regional electoral campaign, underlining that “the dignity It’s worth more than an armchair.” During the party’s national assembly, Renzi criticized the leadership of Giuseppe Conteaccusing him of wanting to control the candidacies and undermining the unity of the centre-left.
Renzi reiterated that, although he is in favor of an alliance, he will never accept that M5S choose the Italia Viva candidates. “We tried to create a winning centre-leftbut we will never bow to the vetoes of the 5 Stars. For us the dignity it’s fundamental.” He concluded by saying that see you next time political elections Italia Viva will be there, with or without alliances with other political forces, but time will decide the terms of the collaboration.
