«My appeal to Schlein is to say something, say something left-wing, because there is nothing more left-wing than this battle, that is, seeing the devastation of a predatory and assisted capitalism that leaves workers on the streets. If we are unable to talk about this, without caring about who owns the newspapers, we will not be able to provide representation to the part we must protect, which is the weakest people. So, dear Schlein, say something.” It is impossible not to think, when listening to Carlo Calenda’s words in a video, of the iconic Nanni Moretti who in ‘Abril’ made the same appeal, in front of the television, to Massimo D’Alema involved in a television confrontation with Silvio Berlusconi. Here we are talking, however, about Stellantis and the Action leader highlights in his video appeal on social media that «on Sunday, at 8pm, the news came out. that devastated all the world’s media, that is, that Stellantis fired its CEO. Obviously this has generated enormous concerns, anxieties regarding the group, regarding the future of workers. It is an alarm that we have been raising for a long time, a battle we have been fighting for a long time.”
«This morning is Thursday, it’s Thursday around 11 in the morning, Elly Schlein didn’t say a word. You will say: what do you care? No, I care a lot, because – continues Calenda – something is wrong in the relationship between the left and the Stellantis issue, and the reason why Elly Schlein cannot talk about the most serious crisis that all the critics have talked about is inexplicable. , even the Gedi.” «And then – continues Calenda – the next time I fought for all the party secretaries to ask John Elkann to come to Parliament, the only secretary who in the end did not sign, sent Misiani signed, it was Schlein. And today we are in days of silence, so I believe it is right to say things as they are.”
And here is the Action leader’s other move. «This – he observes – happens because there are two newspapers, Stampa and Repubblica, which are like l’Unità once was. These are the newspapers of the Democratic Party – Calenda always says -. They dedicate endless pages to Schlein. Obviously we are cancelled, because we upset their master. Pages of endless hymns and they are like Unity, but also not, in the sense that it was the Communist Party who gave the line to Unity. It was not Unity that gave the line to the Communist Party.”
