Candidates for the national secretariat of the PD: Schlein and Bonaccini, dispute for seats

The ford of the first assembly, at which Elly Schlein was officially invested as secretary of the PD, passed. And it saw the election of Stefano Bonaccini, who was defeated in the primaries, as president of the party. Now, however, there is a “second round” of the nomination puzzle, and that concerns the secretariat.

A game that blends in with the challenge launched by the new leader to the internal potentates (defined as ‘caciques’ without sparing a few words) and also with the balance to be found with the internal minority. The messenger, in this regard, reveals that “Schlein would be willing to offer some boxes to the defeated, perhaps allocating them to forty-year-old women like Pina Picierno or Simona Bonafè. Three, maybe four places out of a total of 15-16. The ‘bonaccinians’, however, do not intend to accept any ‘candy’”.

And, again, the newspaper reports the position of a base reformist exponent: “If serious sharing is ensured, guaranteeing the plurality of posts in the secretariat that exists in the party is one thing. If, on the other hand, the offer is two or three powers of attorney just to make a fig leaf, it does not exist”.

So a difficult balance. And, in fact, we reread, to break the deadlock Schlein could offer a group leader’s box to the minority, perhaps confirming Deborah Serracchiani in the Chamber. “But the offer, which has not yet been received, does not seem to please the reformists. Convinced that a group leader in Montecitorio can end up in the shadow of the leader, who is in the Chamber”.

This is a very delicate passage: in fact, from the inclusion in the secretariat, the intensity of the shift to the left of the Schlein administration will be perceived, from which the center-left moderates’ permanence in Nazareno obviously derives.
