The Italian Republic is solid, Schlein's Democratic Party is smashed

Republican Italy is 77 years old, as well behaved as Mattarella's almost 82. While the Democratic Party led by Elly Schlein is increasingly confused. Damato's Scratches

At 77, how many does the Italian Republic turn today – the real one, not made of paper, founded by Eugenio Scalfari 30 years later – fortunately it is not in the painful conditions in which the newspaper of the same name describes it by replacing the screeching title on the front page with the orbace with Orban. Who is the pro-Putinian Hungarian president associated with Giorgia Meloni also by Matteo Renzi's Reformist in a photomontage that can be defined at least, as we will see, an editorial accident.

The Republic, always the real one and not made of paper, is not even that woman in sandals upset, if not overwhelmed, by the strong wind coming from the right as proposed by Stefano Rolli with his cartoon on the front page of Secolo XIX , from the same editorial group of the newspaper scandalized by “Italia alla Orbàn”.

No. Italy is still a firmly Western and anti-Putin Republic, happily presided over in his second term by a Sergio Mattarella, coincidentally, who took the opportunity of the festive meeting with the foreign ambassadors received at the Quirinale to confirm the most full to Ukraine attacked by Russia, in fact, by Putin. The Corazzieri are still at the service of this President and of this Republic, not of the Hungarian one where I personally fear 1956 has been forgotten. Which was the year of the Soviet repression of a revolution that moved the world, with the exception of the Palmiro PCI Get off. From which, as a reaction, many came out without fear of being considered "lice", as Togliatti himself had defined the first dissidents or defectors of the party of the then Dark Shops.

If there is something, even in spite of the "authoritarianism" warned by the former Prime Minister Romano Prodi between interviews and very brief confirmation messages to the Press; if there is something, I was saying, that is investing and compromising the image of the Italian Republic, it is the wind from the left that is trying to blow on it the new secretary of the Pd Elly Schlein, fresh from the ominous electoral debut in the May administrative elections. A Schlein of which, interviewed by the Giornale directed by Augusto Minzolini, a Renzi evidently unaware of the first page that they were preparing for the Riformista , said or predicted that it is "a firecracker", destined to lose "even to the condominiums".

After all, this "condominium" defeat has just occurred in Strasbourg, where the Euro deputies of the Democratic Party rejected the indication given by the Nazarene for an ambiguous abstention in the vote on the provision authorizing the use of funds from the recovery and resilience plan also to replenish stocks compromised by military supplies sent to the Ukrainian resistance. Only four of the Pd's MEPs abstained, one voted against and the other ten in favour, ending up on the front page of the Fatto Quotidiano in the "belligerent crowd". Naturally Schlein remained at his post in Rome, the face a little less.
