All the No democrats that shake the Yes of the Democratic Party
What happens in the Democratic Party on the vote in the referendum?
Convinced, at least in words, that the government is immune from the result of next Sunday's referendum on the cuts in parliamentary seats, as well as the Zingaretti secretariat in the Democratic Party, exposed on the front of the Yes to respect the pacts with the grillini, Walter Veltroni announced the his convinced No from the TV screens of 7, guest of Lilli Gruber.
Even though he now collaborates intensely with Corriere della Sera with editorials, interviews and more, hired by the director Luciano Fontana who had been editor-in-chief – I believe – when Walter was the director of the Unit , the historic PCI newspaper, Veltroni naturally retains his political physiognomy. Already a competitor of Massimo D'Alema at the helm of the PDS-former PCI, vice president of the Council in the first olive government of Romano Prodi, mayor of Rome, founder and first secretary of the Democratic Party, Veltroni remains a party leader.
Walter's No referendum, shared with Prodi also in the motivation, contrary to what would be an amputation of Parliament without other interventions, which the Grillini first rejected and then postponed in order to better wave the anti-political flag contested by the Pd in three quarters the parliamentary path of their reform; Veltroni's No referendum, I said, could move more than a handful of votes four days before the appointment with the polls.
For political purposes, looking at the relations between the parties of the ruling majority, and within them, despite the irrelevance declared by Veltroni, even a Yes referendum victory could create problems if it were to prove to be less extensive than the original forecasts, which were to be coat for No.
Veltroni himself, on the other hand, comparing himself in connection with a journalist of the Fatto Quotidiano , in the television studio of Lilli Gruber, showed himself more than perplexed about the state of relations between grillini and Pd and the possibility of translating them into a "programmatic" agreement real, as he would like it too, and not just Zingaretti. That, after having proposed this type of agreement in the concluding speech of the party's party in Modena, thinking of a new phase of the current majority, not marked only by the fear of a victory of the right in any early elections, the next day was badly repaid. from the grillini. Which – complained Veltroni – reiterated the rejection of the European credit of the fund known as Mes to strengthen the health system and related industries, compromised by the viral pandemic.
The problems of the majority, weak in what the good soul of Ugo La Malfa used to call "contents", are also felt in the 72 pages just sent by the President of the Council to Parliament to anticipate the essential lines of the use of European funds for the reconstruction, available from next year, unlike the immediacy of those for health unlike the grillini. In those pages – commented the director Stefano Feltri in the newspaper Domani by Carlo De Benedetti – Conte and his ministers "promise to do exactly what is forbidden: vague reforms of all kinds, promised by all governments of the last 25 years". And who knows if, even before the European Union, the voters will not realize it next Sunday in the regional and municipal ballot boxes, alongside the referendums, sanctioning "what today seems to be unable to rise to the occasion".
