Left “Macron” unloading? Here’s what can be changed between Italy and France

The Hurry to Elysée It also affects Italy. The contacts between Paris and Rome are strong, and they are on many levels. There is financial, industrial, strategic and purely political status. And the Quirinal Agreement should be the symbol of the Axis between the two countries: the Mediterranean collapse of the Achen Treaty between Germany and France, now, with the sunset of Angela Merkel, also needs a companion beyond the Alps.

Emmanuel Macron Lots of points, as well as Sergio Matterella and Mario Draghi. The goal of the new post-Merkel is to strengthen the decisive relationship in the European Union and to do so during his tenure as French President in the European Union. The French president was eager to confirm a common tax in Europe, but above all to secure Italy’s proximity to some Paris projects in a strategic key starting with the Sahel and the Mediterranean.

In short, France wants to have Italy on its side. Prime Minister Mario Draghi referred to the relationship between the two governments in this sense, and the most recent leaders between the two leaders confirmed it. But the way towards the definition of these new interests lies on the political conditions, which inevitably transcend the existence of two capitals of similar governments. This will not be apparent in the 2022 elections in France. Macron is not sure if he will win. If Marine Le Pen is sure to get on the ballot, this time another woman on the left risks snatching Elysee’s scepter: Anne Hidalgo. The Socialist mayor of Paris is seen as a strong opponent of the current head of state, and his party appears to be recovering somewhat after the fall of the last presidential election.

This question has implications for the Italy-France relationship, in the complex interval of personal and political relations between those “levels” that we were initially talking about. Macron has always been seen as a symbol of the moderate left, capable of uniting under the leadership of a new EU champion, a Eurosceptic nation. For years it was seen as the only “center-left” replacement for the wave of sovereignty. And true Marine Le Pen Staying close to the Italian right-wing parties has largely eliminated any debate: support for Macron has become a natural choice to oppose the populist world.

However, things may change. Paper, In an article by Valerio Valentini, Reveals that the French president was not at all pleased with the enthusiasm shown by Democratic Secretary Enrico Letta. Against Hidalgo. In Elysee it is no secret that they regard it as a fundamental support within Italian politics, and this turn toward the Socialists seems like a betrayal, but also a warning bell. Of course, the Democrats are part of the European Socialists, of which Hidalgo is a member: so it does not seem strange to support an Italian Dem Exponent Transbeline Socialist. The suspicion that the left is beginning to think of a different person than the centrist leader, however, reflects the potential evolution of European politics. The idea that not everything comes together in the center, but we start talking about blocks Bipolar system. The plan risks ending that pro-European and liberal turning point that the European center-left focused on at a time of consensus crisis.

Will Dem’s “betrayal” drop a particular political vision? It is difficult to say and predictable. After all, the Democrats in Italy are part of an alliance that, by definition, is moderate in its own right and certainly no secret in keeping the center as the cornerstone of its existence. However, Europe really needs to understand the obvious trends in some ways. In Germany, nearing decisive elections, the rise of the minister Olaf Scholes The stock shows the renewed interest of voters in the Spadi Socialist camp. In France, the Socialists could somehow destroy Macron’s consensus. Also Spanish experience should be included Pedro Sanchez. It is unlikely that the Democrats will be able to make clear field choices in the short term: but the situation for a new pro-European left is not so far off.

This does not clearly indicate the end of a vision of unity between France and Italy that the Democrats and Letta have always advanced. However, this means that the balance between national and party strategy may change. The contact person for France may no longer be Macron. In any case the Democrats are putting their hands forward and focusing on another candidate to attach himself to the shores of Zion. The French president, “betrayed” by Dem and the European Socialists, could directly address his true institutional speakers, Matterella and Draghi. Higher relations than party relations.
