I’ll tell you about the fake unity of the Democratic Party on the referendum
What happens in the Democratic Party on the referendum for the cut of parliamentary seats
It will also want to say something if the Yes of the leadership of the Democratic Party in the referendum on the cuts in parliamentary seats has not even deserved a recall on the front page of Corriere della Sera . Where are the many Covid of the day, including that taken also by Marina Berlusconi, the eldest daughter of Silvio hospitalized, the eco-bonus for the houses, the first school bell with masks, the two murdering brothers of Colleferro, the activist disappeared Belarusian Maria Kolesnikova, the fugitive Jonny the Gypsy and the Italian babysitter killed in Switzerland while trying to save three girls from a madman.
In truth, the leadership of the Democratic Party on the referendum of the now close 20 September did not even appear on the front pages of the Messaggero , the Giornale , Libero , the Secolo XIX , the Foglio , Avvenire and, I believe, the newspapers of the Monti group. Riffeser, if Il Giorno and the Resto del Carlino have followed, as usual, the example of the Nation that I saw in the diligent Press Review of the Senate. But the first page of the Corriere is the one that objectively makes a sensation. And it denotes, in my opinion, a certain distance from a news I don't know if more controversial or useless reading. Which on the first page of the Press translated with the signature of the former director Marcello Sorgi into a "yes reluctantly", or on the first page of the Truth with the signature of Luca Telese, even though he took sides on the screens of the 7 in favor of the Chambers scissored by grillini, in “a little convinced yes”.
On the other hand, it was, or wanted to be, the leading newspaper of the grilline scissors, Il Fatto Quotidiano , which, in reporting the 188 in favor and 13 against votes obtained in the direction of the Democratic Party from the document dedicated to the referendum appointment, assured: "no fractures ". But it is at least an optimistic representation of a reality that in other circumstances, and on other problems, Marco Travaglio's newspaper would have found different.
Among the 213 votes collected in favor of his report on the political situation in general, and not only the confirmation he requested of the cuts in parliamentary seats, and the 188 remedied in favor of the specific document on the referendum, Zingaretti lost 45 consensus. To which must be added the 18 votes decidedly against the Yes and the eleven that escaped the count. We are therefore about seventy no to the position of the secretary out of 216 members of the management: "a fracture" defined, contrary to the Fatto Quotidiano , the former president of the Democratic Party Matteo Orfini through a statement by his friend Francesco Verducci. On the other hand, in addition to Orfini, they had already made their No big shots of the party heard in recent days such as the former Prime Minister Romano Prodi , the former treasurer Luigi Zanda, the former president of the Anti-Mafia Commission Rosy Bindi and the former Speaker of the Chamber Luciano Violante.
From the latter, the party secretary has gathered "the advice" to start collecting signatures for a popular initiative bill on the reform of bicameralism today equal, or perfect, instead recently defended by Luigi Di Maio. According to which the dysfunctions of Parliament arise from the too high number of its members and not from repetitive chambers, which can postpone the laws to each other indefinitely. But the timing of this reform is so long that Gianni Cuperlo, also a former president of the party, confirmed his opinion on the cuts as "a carte blanche" and imprudent given to the anti-parliamentarism of the grillini.
