There are people who float serenely when the sea is stormy. They don’t panic. On the contrary, they are comfortable with it. And they’d rather reach the safe haven than act first class and expend themselves to save others. It is a bit like the role that the chameleonic Dario Franceschini conquered for himself within the Democratic Party. As “Repubblica” writes, the former Minister of Culture, who is at the head of one of the largest internal currents of the Democratic Party, despite the breath of fresh air brought by the new secretary Elly Schlein, who seemed to him and his fringe not to promise nothing good, he achieved his goal. Precisely, that of floating, also pushing all its supporters towards the new era. And, according to the newspaper, he was the only one to resist the reorganization of internal components caused by the dispute for leadership.
To name a few names in the Franciscan style who are assuming a role in this attempt at innovation by the Democratic Party, we can mention the new leader of the group in the Chamber Chiara Braga, but also the parliamentarian in her first term Michela Di Biase. In addition to twenty other elected directors, a little less than those chosen by Schlein. But beyond the armchairs, Franceschini is the usual Franceschini, in that slightly Christian-Democratic vein that distinguishes him. He takes care of important dossiers and, at the moment, he is the one the right turns to to deal with certain matters. The last of which coincides with the whirlwind of excellent changes that the Meloni government wants for Rai, and which, however, must necessarily also involve the opposition forces.
Franceschini is now a Palace veteran. He knows how to behave, he knows the procedures, the changes. He knows that nothing is definitive, everything flows as fluid as the water of a river. And he decided not to be the rock, that is, the one that remains immovable despite the passage of time. He understood before other big names in the party that Schlein would represent the future and offered to help her rebuild the barracks. After all, he doesn’t care about being number one, but what the leader would never do without.
