Second National Congress of Action
At the second national congress of Action – this weekend at the central ‘Eventi space’ of the Rome Life Hotel in via Nazionale – at least 300 supporters of the leader are expected, Carlo Calenda. A representation contained for a stubbornly centrist and liberal party who, from his first steps, in 2019, has never made a secret of wanting to grow and impose himself as a credible political alternative to the current center -right coalitions and center -left.
Growth and action numbers
The road is still uphill but the numbers, they say sources of action, comfort: 25 thousand enrolled throughout the country, 300 members of the national assembly and polls according to which action is up to 3%) one of the best data recorded among the minority forces (after the M5S) in the last few days. Confirmation, the experts observe, that “pay consistency” in foreign and safetypatient patient“.
Guests of the highest plan
The event, this year, will see guests of the highest floor parading on stage or connecting live: first of all the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniamong the first to confirm their presence. He will speak in the morning, after the institutional greetings of the vice -president of the European Parliament PINA PIROMERO (Pd) and after the intervention of the secretary, Carlo Calenda. The participation of the premier, in recent days the group leader in the Chamber said, Matteo Richettiis “very appreciated”. It denotes an availability to dialogue and an opening to other political forces that are precious and on which action is investing energy.
Political position of action
If on the one hand, in fact, it is necessary to keep the door open and seek convergences in the diversity of the programs, on the other action it does not intend to give up its political space: to carve out its “third” position in a political panorama which, in light of the new global challenges, appears increasingly ‘narrow’ (or forced) within the bipolar scheme.
Expected interventions and panels
The list of ministers expected in the various panel sessions scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday is long. Always on Saturday, in a morning comparison on the subject of European defense The intervention of the minister is foreseen Guido Crosetto.

Moment that will be followed by the intervention of the new President of the Movement while the conclusions of the second national congress will be entrusted to Calenda, Sunday around 12:30.
Political distances
In short, the congress will not fail to offer ideas to mark political distances with the other parties, he anticipated Richetti in a recent interview with ‘Le Ants’. Even if in the face of aggression and arsenals of Moscow, and the ‘step back’ of the American ally, the construction of the European defense “cannot be a theme attributable to a political part. It should be the interest of everyone, as well as the positioning of our country firmly within the Atlantic alliance and the side of Ukraine” invaded, added the exponent of action.
Calenda position
Also Calenda, moreover, has never hidden that it finds unacceptable government hesitation: whether they are on the duties or on European defense; on the safeguarding of our companies or on the dear-bold crusade. “Action – Calenda recalled on the eve of the congress – remains where the voters put it, that is, in a liberal and republican center” and also makes a job “different from the others”: “If Meloni brings a measure that was in our program we vote for it”. But we choose our battles and surely, let the action leader understand, and we are not ‘affected’.
