Elly Schlein stands up, and the dems should be worried about this because it looks like she didn’t understand the full meaning of the disaster in the territories. “To those who think it’s over – says the Pd secretary in a video on Instagram two days after the administrative defeat – I say that we’ve only just begun”. And just to reassure the moderates, he alludes to Mao and his famous brochure on the revolution that is not a gala dinner. «Moving is not a gala dinner – readjusts Schlein – it is uncomfortable. We have a long job ahead of us. Make yourself comfortable, we are here to stay. “He Underlines afterwards« the long work to be done, involving the party and the territories. We will continue with our battles. ” Then he guarantees: «We are not afraid of attacks. We’re here to do exactly what we say.”
In reality, this is precisely the problem, since this Pd so perched on ideological and radical positions, between LGBT fundamentalism, sectarian environmentalism, anti-fascism in the absence of fascism, does not win the hearts of voters. And the first electoral responses are proving it. But now, the Nazarene’s line, understandably, is to buy time. This can also be seen in the words of Dario Franceschini in La Repubblica. With his choice, the former Minister of Culture, a supporter of Schlein’s motion, essentially acted as a “carrier” for the post-Christian left. Obviously what is happening weakens the instance. Yesterday, by the way, he tried to streamline the operation, stressing that “nobody has a magic wand, least of all Schlein. It saddens me a little that the lessons of the past are never enough. All the leaders of the Democratic Party, including myself (he was secretary after Veltroni’s resignation in 2009, ed.) suffered from day one attrition action. So I say: let’s stop. The result of these administrations cannot become an alibi to initiate Schlein’s normalization».
Difficult, however, that this can happen without a platform fix. This is what the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, also seems to insinuate. He also ended up in the sights of the environmentalist ardor of some members of Schelin’s secretariat, who expressed doubts about the intention of building the incinerator to dispose of the garbage produced in the capital.
About «Di Martedì», Gualtieri observed: «We lost all the ballots except one. I would say that we are still in a negative cycle.” And again: “It is a cycle that we have to get out of, which we are working to get out of, to build a convincing political proposal that looks to the future and I am confident that we will do so. It’s not Elly Schlein’s fault, it doesn’t make sense to blame someone who just arrived for a difficulty we already had before. not so much political alliances but to unite a wide range of social forces».
The line of the ideological left is totally incompatible with this. And on this point Matteo Renzi also hits, in his e-news: “There is very little to say about administrative issues. Elly Schlein’s maximalist line wins the primaries but loses the elections. Reformists strike a blow, if they can. Because the alternative to Giorgia Meloni will be reformist or not. And I think that now this is clear to everyone ». Except one.
