“I am not taking the field – he says, commenting on the hypothesis of a role as ‘federator’ of the centrist area of the opposition – but I claim the right to speak. I have read that speaking about the common good would be a choice of the field. And therefore I should remain silent or leave the position. A caricatural description of the role of Director of the Agency was even made, as if fighting tax evasion was a biased choice and even something to be ashamed of.”
“I don’t agree – says Ruffini – the chatter that mistakes politics for a board game, ideas for labels and civic sense for a climb to power”. He resigned, he explains, “because it’s the only way to remain myself. Am I a federation? I struggle to think that individuals are enough to change things. By nature I tend to believe more in the strength of people who collaborate for a common project. Relying on self-styled saviors of the country is not a good deal.”
