Elly Schlein seen from newspapers and magazines

The fatuous war representations of Elly Schlein at the direction of the Pd. Damato's Scratches

Intrigued by the almost warlike representation made by all the newspapers of Elly Schlein at the direction of the Pd after the disputed participation in the piazza grillina last Saturday in Rome – from the secretary who "does battle" in the Corriere della Sera to the conductor on Repubblica he asks the band to “play the same score” – I had to stop at the same front pages, without venturing too much inside, to understand that the show at the Nazareno was anything but.

Roberto Gressi, for example, wrote in the Corriere that "the radical turning point, which followed the primaries, when it seemed that it was enough to throw away a plastered and current-dominated party to reconquer an Italy that I was expecting for nothing else, proved to be an illusion , at least to look at the first tests”. And this "also because – warned Gressi – an involute language, which is aimed at the masses but struggles not to appear elitist, does not help". Which is precisely the language of Schlein, moreover dressed as she dresses, as in certain tailoring workshops where the masses don't have the time, the desire and above all the money not even to look out.

No less severe or disappointed was the director of Il Foglio , where they wanted to bet in the last political elections on Enrico Letta's PD, albeit certainly the loser, and then cultivated for a while the hope that the surprise of Schlein's congressional victory might not turn out to be like this ruinous. Now Claudio Cerasa is forced to write in red, in the title, about "a void called Schlein". And to add, in black: “Ambiguity. Confusion. Nonsense agenda. The report of the Pd leader is a perfect manifesto of political impotence and illuminates a leadership that, while waiting for a future, seems to have become the past".

In short, we are at the "PsicoDramma" printed by the Riformista as a new plaque for the Nazarene by a Matteo Renzi not at all surprised and even less sorry, indeed confident that sooner or later he will be able to obtain some serious electoral profit sooner or later from the conjunction of Schlein engaged in a "militant summer ”, as he said, and of “President Berlusconi”, as he still respectfully calls him, dead and buried, indeed incinerated.

In order not to repeat Renzi's explicit and implicit arguments, whose mere evocation usually serves Schlein to give herself courage and propose herself as the avenger of the passage from Tuscan to Nazarene, I would take the liberty of pointing out to the secretary of the Pd the exhortation addressed to her by a great lord of the left as Gianni Cuperlo has always been. Who, imagining her as a mountain enthusiast leading a roped party, reminded her of the dutiful refusal to "think that what's behind is useless ballast". "Those behind -said Cuperlo- must trust". Or rather, they must be able to trust.
