Administrative 2023, Elly Schlein postpones mission to Brussels

The defeat of the Democratic Party in the 2023 administration still hurts the left. And perhaps this is the reason why the secretary of the DEM, Elly Schlein, canceled at the last minute the trip to Brussels to meet the MEPs of the Democratic Party. The secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, incidentally, postponed the mission scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels, maintaining the meeting, in online mode, with the delegation of PD deputies. That’s what you learn from your sources.

At this point, however, the debate opens up about what is really happening within the party. Are we already at the reckoning? To those who accuse Schlein of being an absentee leader, Francesco Boccia responds by talking about “L’aria che tira” at La7. “If there is a secretary who is everywhere, it is Elly Schlein – said Boccia – Elly may not be where the opposition wants her to be, but she is exactly where she should be: in squares, in factories, in places of need” . Others highlight what needs to be done for leftist alliances to win elections. “Where we managed to build a credible alliance, we won, but where the Democratic Party has little or nothing around it, it becomes complicated – said Davide Baruffi, head of the Democratic Party’s municipalities, commenting on the result of the ballots on Radio also on Rai Radio 1 – No, there is no judgment» for Elly Schlein, «these lists were made when the new secretary took office. Building a broad alliance around a PD that wins again is the objective we set ourselves at the congress and for which we are working. We said it would be a desert crossing. Building a larger Democratic Party is the first objective, building a center-left alliance with those who consider themselves alternatives to the right is the second. It applies to us and I hope the M5s and Third Pole realize that too. I hope they also get bored after some time of always losing the elections…», concluded the exponent dem.
