I tell you praise and puffs for Elly Schlein

I tell you praise and puffs for Elly Schlein

Who celebrates and who grumbles for Elly Schlein's victory in the Pd primaries. Damato's Scratches

If only in homage to the late Maurizio Costanzo, one wonders what lies around the corner of the Democratic Party that has just entrusted itself with the primaries to Elly Schlein, rather than to the Stefano Bonaccini chosen by the members. And we could perhaps repeat, like the late Giancarlo Pajetta to Costanzo himself, that there is yet another angle. But the game could not last long. In a year there will be the European elections, in which each force will compete alone with proportional representation. And it will be understood what will be left of the Democratic Party, or what the Democratic Party itself will have gained from the surprise of its first female secretary.

MURGIA'S WORDS ABOUT ELLY SCHLEIN

Of course, it is striking that a Schlein admirer like Michela Murgia has just defined her in the press as "the right woman for us in the wrong party for her", while adding that "you can't have everything", so "let's take the good" . But the good thing is a simply split Pd, where Roberto Gressi in the Corriere della Sera rightly wonders if Schlein is a "seer destined to break through or a dreamer ready to go out".

WHAT CASINI AND FIORONI SAID

An illustrious guest or migrant, let's call him that, like Pier Ferdinando Casini, who chose to remain in Parliament by being elected as an independent in his native Bologna among the candidates of the Democratic Party, confessed to the Press that "a little for everyone", starting naturally from him, ”Bonaccini was better because it is part of the traditional political horizon. Schlein – he added – is less known, it is more difficult to understand what kind of opponent he will be”. Adversary, therefore, rather than ally. “The reality is that everyone would have preferred safe used,” Pierfurby insisted.

In fact, the ex-minister Giuseppe Fioroni, coming from the DC like Casini but fully married in his time in the Democratic Party, has already announced his departure. And other "old diccì" are tempted to "escape", as announced by Il Fatto Quotidiano . I hope, for them, that they don't end up like tuna in a trap, including – sooner or later – Dario Franceschini, who once again sided with the current winner in the belief that he has taken out yet another insurance policy.

The show will certainly not be missing in the new edition of the Democratic Party born from the congressional primaries, and open, which were to be of "refoundation". It will probably be the show of the "social confusion" announced by the Foglio , which even in the last political elections sided with the Pd already destined to lose under the leadership of Enrico Letta. And now finished, we will see whether for better or for worse, in the hands of a secretary who Giuliano Ferrara has defined as "fashionable and conventional".

The irreverent, indelicate and otherwise Stefano Rolli in the Secolo XIX cartoon has already forced Schlein's nature a bit by giving her the Countess, understood as the wife of Giuseppe Conte. Which I fear, for her, she prefers her current partner, even if she has only one passport.
