Elly Schlein, a grillina democrat
Words and theses by Elly Schlein who is a candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party. Facts, comments and scenarios
FRANCESCHINI PRO SCHLEIN
I am curious, at least, to see if the legend of Dario Franceschini's infallibility will be confirmed or end up being placed on the winning side every time in the current party – first the DC, touched upon in his youth or adolescence, then the Popular Party, then again the Margherita and finally the Pd – the currents moved more than usual and new balances were sought and found around new secretaries.
WHO BETS ON SCHLEIN
This time, in the most difficult congress of the Democratic Party, although already tried in 15 years of life by three splits, or two and a half, carried out in chronological order by Francesco Rutelli, Pier Luigi Bersani and Matteo Renzi, considering half that of Rutelli due to its consistency; this time, I was saying, in the most difficult congress of the Democratic Party, even grappling with a re-foundation and other high-sounding objectives, Franceschini has bet on Elly Schlein. Or so the bearded former Minister of Culture has so far let people say and write, while not specifying, within the general bet, which of the three passports of the interested party he likes more: the Swiss, the American or the 'Italian.
THE NEW PD AND OLD VICES
Beautiful, strange, extravagant, as you prefer, the "new Democratic Party" promised or proposed by Elly by entering the lists, and not even registered with the old one, could have precisely the multinational character of its first female leader. Who, at least, could tell his party better abroad than his predecessors. But precisely on the international front the candidate was caught by an observer who was certainly not inexperienced and superficial like Claudio Martelli. Who in the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno , probably informed first-hand by his wife Lia Quartapelle, a Piddina parliamentarian, contested her having deserted the votes in the Chamber in recent days on the continuation of military aid to Ukraine, including that on the document in favor presented by the belonging group.
HELLO BEAUTIFUL
Greeted in Rome by her fans, at the announcement of her candidacy, with the insistent song of "Bella ciao" by the Italian Resistance to Nazi-fascism, as Annalisa Cuzzocrea told the press , the aspiring secretary of the Democratic Party therefore avoided the support – if not we mean that he denied it – to the Resistance, with a capital letter like the other, of the Ukrainians to Putin's aggression. Who famously pitched himself to the Russians as a new Peter the Great but has stabilized for now as a new Stalin. Of which the genocide carried out in his time in the same lands now devastated and bloodied by the Russians has just been celebrated.
RENTINA'S SHADOWS SEEN FROM ANNUNZIATA
Precisely in La Stampa , and again with regard to the Democratic Party, another not naive observer like Lucia Annunziata has just warned and denounced the "shadow" of the now external Matteo Renzi on the Piddino congress due to the candidacy for secretary of her friend and already collaborator Stefano Bonaccini : the president of the Emilia-Romagna region – of which Elly Schlein was deputy, somehow growing among his beard -, to the point of inspiring today's cartoon by Emilio Giannelli on the front page of Corriere della Sera .
WHAT RELATIONS BETWEEN SCHLEIN AND CONTE
No less cumbersome, at this point, should be perceived, to the detriment of Schlein, the external shadow of the grillino Giuseppe Conte, who has now put himself in charge, even in clothing, of the political alignment against the continuation of military aid to Ukraine. And waiting for a change in the "management group" to return to considering an alliance project with the Democratic Party. Or what would remain of its members and above all voters after a similar choice. Which would put the Nazarene party, which converted in terms of internal politics also to the defense, for example, of the so-called basic income opposed when it was established by the first Conte government, in substantial tow of the remains – also – of the 5 Star Movement. It would be the realization of the takeover bid on the Democratic Party attempted by Grillo himself way back in 2009 by enrolling in a Sardinian section in the summer.
