The centre-right triumphed in regional elections in Friuli Venezia Giulia, doubling the leftist alliance between the Democratic Party and the 5 Star Movement. It was not a good start for new secretary Elly Schlein, who after five hours of the first votes of an immediate certain victory, remained completely silent. A failure to intervene in Massimiliano Fedriga’s success that certainly did not go unnoticed by the opposing team. “But Schlein? She lost her voice, remaining silent when De Benedetti insulted Giorgia Meloni defined as ‘demented’. She lost the elections, defeated in Friuli Venezia Giulia with a huge difference. Schlein, or insults and defeats,” joked Maurizio Gasparri of Forza Italia on Twitter.
In addition to Friuli, the other ‘spy’ pointed at the dem is the one from Latina, where the coalition’s primaries were held to choose the candidate for mayor. The winner was the civic Damiano Coletta, outgoing mayor who beat the PSD candidate, Daniela Fiore. Two matches that certainly did not have Schlein as the protagonist, it is observed by his sources in the Chamber who, however, do not hide a certain disappointment for not having seen that “rebound” that they expected to see after the policies, also due to the wave of renewal brought by the new secretary. The Schlein effect was not seen.
