Enrico Letta

"Back in February last year, Renzi was already trying to bring down the Conte government, and the crisis was prevented by the arrival of COVID in Codogno. This is the story, proof that his criticism of the Recovery Plan is instrumental."

"Conte is the head of government and he is the only one who can lead Italy this year. I dont see how he can be prevented from doing so. Im not saying that this government has been perfect, but the main issue now is how to manage the pandemic, the economic crisis, vaccinations, and the recovery. A government in crisis carries out routine administration, while today we need a government of extraordinary commitment, and I think this is also in the interest of the opposition."

"(About the death of Mino Martinazzoli) We mourn the loss of a great teacher and an irreplaceable political and cultural figure. From today, we are more alone."

"I find it incomprehensible and unbelievable that Italy, and to some extent Europe, should have to follow the follies of one person Matteo Renzi. But the situation today is very different. Back then, he was the secretary of the Democratic Party, but today he is the leader of something smaller than the PSDI."

"It seems to me that Renzi has definitively opted out (of the Conte government) and politics is not a Neapolitan drama. The moment you decide to break away, its over. He should ask himself why there is no leader or foreign newspaper that agrees with him and why only 10% of Italians think he is doing something intelligent."
