Comparison will take place. The news of the start of negotiations for the rules of engagement for the Meloni-Schlein TV duel comes at a time when PD deputies have just arrived in Gubbio for the seminar on Europe. And in the dem conclave, many people read it as a step towards the secretariat’s candidacy for the European elections. «Let’s say that if we don’t hurry up and decide, we will have difficulty making the lists. But this is the reading”, comments a long-time deputy. Although there are those who do not connect the two things: «I think they are two separate games», the opinion of Matteo Orfini and also Laura Boldrini «the television comparison is part of the political dialectic between the prime minister and the leader of the opposition». And he invites us to focus on the issues and not the candidacies: «I would get out of this nomination cage, it’s too reductive. Let’s talk about what’s at stake, about the two different visions of Europe’s future. Then comes everything else, including apps.”
Today Schlein will be in Gubbio to close the seminar. And this shouldn’t be the place where he dissolves the reservation. A possible date could be Saturday, January 27th, Memorial Day. The secretary will be Cassino – on a symbolic date and place – in the first phase of the electoral campaign towards the European elections. Regarding the possible candidacy, the issue of the moment becomes increasingly pressing with pressure from managers, administrators and aspiring candidates who invite the secretary to toughen the decision.
One way or another. From Romano Prodi to the women of the Democrats and the minority, there were several invitations not to enter the field. «Multiple candidacies are a weak point of democracy», stated the Professor. Chiara Gribaudo and Matteo Ricci go against the trend and both support Schlein’s candidacy. Perhaps today, when he arrives in Gubbio, the deputies will try to probe the secretary’s intentions. Meanwhile, yesterday some deputies arrived one by one by car, most by bus. The atmosphere, in fact, is like a school trip, with group games and singing. Waiting for Elly.
