Calenda at the Quirinal Palace following the election

Following the resignation of Mario Draghi as Prime Minister of Italy and the call for a snap election, [47] Calenda's Action party signed on 2 August an alliance with Enrico Letta's PD, the head of the centre-left coalition. [48] On 6 August, the PD signed another pact with the eco-socialist Greens and Left Alliance (AVS), formed by Green Europe (EV) and Italian Left (SI), which never supported Draghi's government. [49] This caused tensions between Letta and Calenda. The latter, being a strong supporter of economic liberalism and nuclear power, considered impossible a coalition between his own party and the red–green alliance. [50] On 7 August, Calenda broke the alliance with the PD. [51] On 11 August, Matteo Renzi's Italia Viva (IV) and A signed an agreement to create a centrist alliance named Action – Italia Viva (A–IV) led by Calenda himself. [52]

Despite Draghi's dismissal, Calenda said they would push for Draghi to remain as prime minister, should A–IV win enough seats. [53] The list also ran a pro-nuclear power and pro-regasification campaign as solutions for the ongoing energy crisis. [54] In the general election on 25 September, the so-called Third Pole obtained 21 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 9 seats in the Senate of the Republic, having polled about 8%. [55] On 3 October, Calenda announced that the two parties will form joint parliamentary group in the next parliament and start a federation between the two movements. [56] [57] [58]

After Navalny's death, Carlo Calenda had the initiative to propose a demonstration in Rome that unites all the Italian political forces present in Parliament. In the history of the Italian Republic, or at least of the Second Republic, this is the first joint demonstration between all political forces. [59]
