Bonaccini-Schlein, proof of understanding: but time is running out

“It’s up to Elly Schlein to first consider for myself a possible proposal that might be useful in building a picture of a Democratic Party that definitely has a secretary named Elly Schlein who won the primaries.” This was expressed by Stefano Bonaccini, head of Emilia Romagna, who was defeated in the Democratic Party primaries.

The two met last week, but there is a complete interlude between them. But now the party is making its way to the assembly that will crown Schlein as national secretary. Bonaccini is in his office waiting for a call from his former vice president. The goal, it turns out, will be to arrive at next Sunday’s appointment with a signed agreement. But it is Schlein who must take the next step, presenting a proposal fit to include Bonaccini and his supporters in the primaries, while at the same time getting the party out of any internal friction.

The duo did not hear from each other again, but the number one of the Emilia Romagna Region was repeated, saying “We will definitely find the opportunity to listen to each other and evaluate together the best way to be useful to the Democratic Party.”

“I would like to help and extend my hand to the unity of the Democratic Party, which is indispensable and decisive for the construction of a new centre-left, where the Democratic Party is the strongest, most structured and rooted party. Bonaccini will be in the government of the country in a few years because we won the elections and were not called by anyone. concluded that we would return to an alternative right.
