The Democratic Party’s primaries have just ended, but the scenarios for future Italian politics are already being drawn. One of the first to speak is Matteo Renzi, who is happy with Schlein’s victory. According to the leader of Italia Viva, in fact, unexpected spaces are now opening up for the Third Pole, which could become the true reformist pole of Italian politics. Different speech, however, for the Five Star Movement who will clash with the new dem line and may have the worst. «In September 2019, the separation began a path that Schlein’s victory ended. Today the reformist Democratic Party no longer exists. There is a leftist party that deserves respect and that will become a direct competitor to the Five Star Movement. Congratulations to Elly on the win, an exciting season is starting for us now.” Thus Matteo Renzi al Messaggero for whom “a reformist party was possible until the eve of the primaries. It becomes necessary and urgent the day after the end of the reformist season born in Lingotto». Why should it be better for you than in the past for Monti or others who have tried? «Because Monti was a technical leader squeezed between the leadership of Berlusconi and that of a still reformist Pd. We put a high level of politics on this and we’re in a space where Meloni is on one side and Schlein is on the other. Not a leaf will move in the coming months. But with the European elections, the space available to us will grow exponentially until the Strasbourg vote. A truly exciting phase awaits us, sowing today and reaping tomorrow».
With Secretary Schlein, what remains of the Renziiano Democratic Party? “Absolutely nothing. And, in short, better for everyone. For her, who made anti-Renzism a flag, but also for us. JobsAct did not create precariousness, but it created 1.2 million jobs, half of which are permanent. But if you don’t read the numbers, it means you have a bias, not a judgment.” What will happen to Cinquestelle? “I think they are the real losers of the primary. With Schlein there will be an interesting competition. test bench will be the position in Ukraine, then basic income and its scams, then the plant in Rome to turn waste into energy. Elly won, very well. But the hard part for her starts now. And maybe also for Conte ».
