A resounding, clear and peremptory defeat. Because when you lose a million voters compared to five years ago, uncompromising analysis is necessary, necessary, indispensable. Not just to be able to hope to win again, but also for the very survival of the movement. A practice that, of course, is unknown to the Democratic Party. In these three days, even Cetto La Qualunque intervened on social networks, on TV or in the press, to give his opinion. From the councilor in Reggiolo to the eighty-year-old man who spends his days at Casa del Popolo in Loro Ciuffenna, from the militant in Bordighera to the disillusioned in Trani. But from above, which should keep the bar straight in this difficult crossing, only three concepts emerged. One stranger than the last.
First point: Enrico Letta is entirely to blame (who, of course, got very little right in this election campaign, starting with the alliances). Secretary Pisan resigns, returns to Paris and the Democratic Party flies to 40%. First colossal mistake. The most important left-wing movement needs to be refounded from the inside out. It’s no longer enough to wink at university professors or radical chic architects. The audience needs to be expanded. With new ideas, proposals and faces. Second point: voters did not understand us. Red pencil bug. If the political message doesn’t get through, it’s always the candidate’s fault, never the voter’s. Finally, the third point: the government of Giorgia Meloni will last six months and we, as in the last ten years, will once again lead Italy, in a technical executive or national unity.
If possible, this would be the worst possible disaster for those who love the party that once belonged to Enrico Berlinguer. Regaining power, without passing through popular consensus, would be the final blow to an already deeply wounded movement. It would definitely transform it into a coven, united only for the management of power, of chairs, of appointments. And not for the defense and protection of workers, at least those who live in council houses. An electorate that, many years ago, turned its back on the left and decided to trust the right, first Berlusconian, then Salvinian and now Melonic.
