A long meeting, very participatory. Yesterday afternoon, Stefano Bonaccini met with parliamentarians from his area. Many gifts from Lorenzo Guerini to Debora Serracchiani, Simona Malpezzi, Graziano Delrio, Piero Fassino, Valeria Valente, Matteo Orfini, Enzo Amendola. A rather effervescent climate, it is said, also following the Piero De Luca case on Tuesday and the words of the new deputy leader of the group Paolo Ciani on the revision of the PD’s position on Ukraine. There was no lack of critical interventions against secretary Elly Schlein. Notes of merit and method. But, he reports, in addition to more critical assessments, the cut of the meeting “was not hostile, neither friendly fire nor frond”, but rather “constructive criticism”.
And precisely to make this ‘constructive’ action more concrete, in the meeting with Bonaccini it was agreed to structure the area, even going beyond the congressional motion. Thus, an appointment was discussed in the coming weeks to shape the organization of the area and to think for the Democratic Party, “to put ideas into practice”. After all, Bonaccini himself, speaking on TV, insisted on the need for the Democratic Party to maintain the bar in the majority’s vocation “which is not to do it alone, but to have a culture of government and it is also necessary to have, according to the opposition, building an alternative in which you not only criticizes, but always puts the proposal next to it”. Is this happening now in the Democratic Party? “We have a secretary who has been there for three months… But we need to work to avoid a minority drift that corners us when, instead of Besides that, we have to build a much bigger field.” Another earthquake among the dem.
