I’ll tell you about Nicola Zingaretti’s latest democratic madnesses
What is the resigning secretary of the Democratic Party doing, Nicola Zingaretti? The Scratches of Damato
Although moved, for heaven's sake, by the best of intentions, even by a push "of love", as he happened to say, I fear that the resigning secretary Nicola Zingaretti is not doing his party a good service by continuing to represent it as a nest of vipers. Or even like a heap of ruins, one of those churches in the midst of whose ruins the Pope has just celebrated mass in Mosul. And I would not like the Pontiff himself, returning from Iraq whom he declared that he wanted to take farewell in his heart, even though he was tired at his age, let us not forget, to let himself be tempted by the generous effort of a visit of relief and regret to the Nazarene. Where instead there is the seat of a party intact within its walls, where, however, the secretary, shouting "shame", felt he had to resign despite having – at least on paper, based on the information of proven reporters who usually follow the events – of the 70 percent and possibly more than the National Assembly. Which will meet at the weekend, unless postponed of course.
The Democratic Party was re-proposed in frankly much more critical conditions than they are even in the interview, so to speak, of Zingaretti's farewell to Barbara D'Urso. Which was so excited by the appreciation of the remote guest for the only television lounge where, thanks to its management, one could stay and think "without the stench in the nose" of the usual "radical chic", as to confuse Zingaretti for the president, and not the resigning secretary, having as the sole presidency that of the Lazio region.
Moreover, I find it somewhat exaggerated to complain that pluralism, confrontation and anything else have been "mistaken for controversy", as Zingaretti said to those who criticized him in the party, or with "a hammering", like Zingaretti himself he said in response to journalists who, having rushed to the inauguration of a vaccination hub at Termini Station, which he inaugurated in the role already mentioned as president of the Lazio region, understandably tried to get him to talk about his resignation as secretary of the Democratic Party.
It is true, on this occasion Zingaretti also said that the party will be able to "get away", like all of us from the pandemic, according to the wishes, indeed the certainty also expressed by the President of the Republic on the same day by rushing to the Cloud by Massimiliano Fuksas happily transformed into a vaccination center. But to get by, the Democratic Party needs at least that its secretary, however outgoing or resigning, as you prefer, does not talk about it even worse than the most critical observers of political events.
I am thinking, for example, of the "labyrinth" party of which the former director Ezio Mauro wrote in his editorial in Repubblica . Or the Democratic Party "exhausted by the will of the government" treated in his editorial in the Press by Massimo Cacciari, who evidently took literally the "laziness" complained of by Zingaretti himself. Or the "mission impossible" of a "refoundation" of the Democratic Party, of which Mauro Calise wrote in his editorial in the Mattino . Or even to parricide as a liberating measure, to the sixty-eight years, which an authority of psychoanalysis like Massimo Recalcati mentioned, also writing about the Democratic Party after the formation of Mario Draghi's government.
However, I wonder which is the real father to get rid of in that party, among the many secretaries who alternated in his first and only thirteen years of life: Walter Veltroni, Dario Franceschini for a few months, Pier Luigi Bersani, Guglielmo Epifani, also for some month, Matteo Renzi, Maurizio Martina, again for a short time, and finally Zingaretti. Or do we need to go even further back and get to the survivors at the helm of the formations from which the Democratic Party was born in 2007? Nice problem. It would be a massacre. Massimo D'Alema, Piero Fassino, whose name has also appeared as a possible regent of the Democratic Party in these days in several newspapers, and Achille Occhetto should fear parricide. Fortunately, only Giorgio Napolitano would be saved due to the good fortune of having arrived at the Quirinale, moreover remaining there for 9 years, with an additional presidential mandate unique in the history of the Presidency of the Republic, without having first passed through the leadership of any of the parties. of origin of the Pd.
In short, Nicola Zingaretti would perhaps do well to stop, I am not saying to go back, and to reflect on the merciless analyzes or diagnoses that he emits directly on the Democratic Party or ends up suggesting to others. Without realizing it, I hope, he is doing a little with "his" Pd what my friend Luca Giurato has got into the habit of doing in television salons with his exaggerated displays of affection and cordiality, overwhelming the landlord and guests until they are sent to the infirmary or hospital. Just the day before yesterday I enjoyed on Canale 5, where I had looked out too early thinking of finding Zingaretti there, the replica of an interview with Luca Giurato made by a terrified Barbara D'Urso seeing him sitting with the usual, festive exuberance on a armrest of his chair.
