Calenda: "We will vote alone, I would prefer Gentiloni as premier"

Carlo Calenda, leader of the Azione party, stated that his party will present itself independently in the elections, anticipating a possible tie at the polls. In an interview with La Repubblica, he expressed that a government led by Elly Schlein or Giuseppe Conte would be as risky as a repeat of Giorgia Meloni.

Calenda also emphasized the importance of forming a pro-European government in Parliament. According to him, the only viable path will be to find a political agreement that keeps them within the European camp, expressing a preference for Paolo Gentiloni as a potential prime minister.
