The governor of the Campania region, Vincenzo De Luca, returned to attacking Elly Schlein and her Democratic Party. It happened in Bari, where, on Saturday, he presented his latest book “Despite the Democratic Party”. His interlocutors are fellow governor of Apulia, Michele Emiliano, and the city’s mayor, Antonio Decaro. “The Democratic Party, if it wants to have a national role, must have two things: it must be a serious and respected party. And he must have a political program capable of persuading the majority of the Italian people”: this is how De Luca started.
Soon, however, the attack reached secretary Elly Schlein: “If the objective is to govern Italy. If, instead, the objective is to give life to a party that is a cross between Lotta Continua and Zecchino d’ gold, then that’s fine”, said the governor of the Campania region without mincing words. Great applause from the public, amused. “Today we have within the party a mechanism for selecting leadership groups that seems to me to be the opposite. In other words, the more you lose, the further you get,” he continued.
Vincenzo De Luca, like a flooded river, continued: “Here we have important administrators like Michele, who has always exposed himself personally. We have Decaro, one of the best mayors in Italy. Well, you won’t find great inspiration and great solidarity in the Democratic Party: they They will bother you. That’s what happened to me, and they will spend their time bothering you. The governor attacked again: “It’s a self-referential organization, with 90% of the governing body made up of dead souls.”
