Harsh attack by Renzi on Franceschini on voting: he is not Mattarella, think about closed theaters

A harsh attack by the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, on Dario Franceschini, minister of culture but also head of the Pd delegation in the government: in fact, Franceschini said that if there is a government crisis there will be a vote and it will be a Conte versus Salvini clash. Heavy words that immediately drew the reaction of Renzi, who made himself heard today on the program L’aria che tira on La7.

“If someone thinks they are threatening the vote, they are wrong,” Renzi said, “in democracy the vote is not a threat. Franceschini is the minister of Culture, take care of the closed theaters. He is the minister of Tourism, let him take care of the hotels. The president of the Republic is not Franceschini but Sergio Mattarella. I would have liked to be on the field yesterday against Juventus, Franceschini is not the Ribery of politics, it is Mattarella who has that role there.”

“With respect to Dario Franceschini,” Renzi added, “it is bad to say it like this at a time when we should be talking about something else, but it is clear that he is bluffing as one does in poker games in politics, here however there is nothing to play, here there is to discuss how much money we put on culture and tourism. I say to Minister Franceschini we want to give you a hand in spending this money, but if you don’t spend it there is a whole sector that goes into crisis.”

The Italia Viva leader then relaunched his proposal: accept Mes resources to free up 9 billion to be allocated to culture and tourism. “Let’s take the Mes money, which Franceschini should agree to,” the former council president reiterated. “It’s 36 billion euros, we put it on health care, we free up the 9 billion euros that are there today on health care in the Recovery Plan, and we put it on culture and tourism. I would be Franceschini, I would give a kiss to everyone in Italia Viva. We play transparent, I am convinced that Franceschini will be delighted with all the money we want to put on culture and tourism.”
