The Pd-M5S front crumbles over Ukraine
What emerges on the Russia-Ukraine war in the Pd-M5S anti-fascist front baptized by the CGIL in Florence. Damato's Scratches
WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN PD AND M5S
Although among the photos that appeared in the newspapers there is not one that testifies to it, the chronicles from Florence refer to an embrace, and not just a conversation, between Giuseppe Conte and Elly Schlein, guests yesterday of the trade unions at the anti-fascist demonstration which inspired, among other things, by the manifesto the announcement that "there is life" in the streets for the opposition.
PD AND M5S IN THE SIGN OF ANTI-FASCISM
“Now the game returns to the left”, headlined Repubblica with a certain relief from Concita De Gregorio, who had recently won awards for Giorgia Meloni, on the right, who had caused her some controversy among the premier's opponents. Which just yesterday ended up on the posters on the walls of Milan, next to the Minister of Public Education, with his head down like Mussolini and the hierarchs in the same city, really, in Piazzale Loreto in 1945. De gustibus – the Latins said – non est disputandum .
THE PROSPECTS FOR PD AND M5S
Regarding the exchange of ideas and words he had with Schlein, prudently protected with his hands over his mouth by lip-reading, the former premier Conte wanted on the one hand to announce, in statements collected by Corriere della Sera , that "the problem is not is”, or is no longer, “the leadership on the left” he climbed after the electoral defeat in September, allowing himself to be attributed with the polls the objective of overtaking the Nazarene, and on the other to specify that “we are interested in strengthening a policy of progressive forces". To which "if this Pd fits, welcome". But it really has to be there, it seems an allusive implication to the protest, complaint and anything else raised by the Fatto Quotidiano for the new Piddina "pro-arms" secretary like her predecessor Enrico Letta.
COMPANY SCHLEIN'S WEAPONS APPRECIATED BY THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER NYT
The weapons of "comrade" Schlein, as she was greeted in Florence, are naturally those that the Italian government continues to supply to Ukraine, with its Western allies, to help it defend itself against the Russian invasion. "It is necessary to send arms to Kiev", Schlein has just declared to the New York Times , who described her with a certain non-hostile, if not downright sympathetic interest, "the shock" of this glimpse of Italian winter.
THE CARDS OF MELONI
However, Meloni's cards continue to be good in the United States, where a visit to the White House is being prepared, after the missions carried out by the Prime Minister in Africa, Poland, Ukraine, India and the Middle East. A Meloni grappling these days in Italy with the all-internal controversy over the massacre of migrants that has just taken place on the Calabrian coast, and defined as "state" in the media process conducted by the opposition. Who have tried, due to her failure to travel there, to oppose her also to the President of the Republic, who is faster and more sensitive in the visit of solidarity with the victims and survivors of the sinking of the umpteenth cart of Turkish smugglers. But the entire government will soon travel to the spot – Meloni herself has just announced – to meet to discuss immigration.
