All crazy (even De Benedetti) for Elly Schlein
Who celebrates and who rejoices – even on the right – for Elly Schlein's victory in the Pd primaries. Damato's Scratches
It's settled now. Even before the former minister Maria Elena Boschi, who hurried to call her to congratulate herself thinking of the votes that her election as secretary of the Democratic Party could obtain for Carlo Calenda and Matteo Renzi, in the order given by the leaders of the so-called third pole, is it was the Prime Minister Gorgia Meloni who called Elly Schlein to congratulate and encourage her with apparent generosity to make a tough opposition to her. As tough as the one practiced by Meloni herself to governments supported or participated by one of her two main center-right allies, or both.
A generosity, that of Meloni, only apparent, as I said, because the prime minister perhaps thought within herself what the cartoonist Emilio Giannelli then somehow translated into Corriere della Sera by making Berlusconi sarcastically ask Salvini if Schlein she would have managed to be a thorn for the government "more than us", now more exposed in their dissidence.
There are no phone calls to Schlein from Giuseppe Conte, at least publicly, of which even the pollster Antonio Noto warned the hand in the primaries of the Democratic Party, having attributed 22 percent of the participants in the vote in the gazebo to voters of the 5 Stars. "The head of the Democratic Party elected by the grillini", headlined Libero forcing his hand but not too much.
The daisy that Conte is now leafing through is made up of two types of petals: one concerns the votes that Schlein's Pd will be able to lose on the right, so to speak, and the other the votes it will be able to gain on the left by taking them away from Conte himself, who proposed after the September elections to overtake the Nazarene's party.
DID CARLO DE BENEDETTI BET ON ELLY SCHLEIN?
Carlo De Benedetti, remote guest last night of Lilli Gruber's television lounge, on la 7, bet on the second type of petals of Conte's daisy, that is, on the gains on the left of Schlein greater than the losses on the right. And he encouraged the secretary of the Democratic Party to make the rich cry once and for all with a progressive balance sheet on assets exceeding 500 thousand euros, roughly the same as for the middle class only the house owned by those who live there.
Naturally, Carlo De Benedetti is part of the rich but he specified that he "is not their representative", so it is useless for some colleagues in the census to disown him. Perhaps the engineer with his 87 years of age, also embittered by the squandering of wealth reproached to his children for the management and sale of the Paper Republic, doesn't give a damn about the legacy he can leave. It is a pity that the Swiss tax authorities will benefit from it, which he prefers to the Italian one which should be of more interest to Schlein in his new political guise.
Others celebrated Schlein – Concita De Gregorio, for example, right on Repubblica – because being younger Meloni ages a bit. But Giuliano Ferrara in the Foglio warned her that "even young people can age quickly".
