This is how the club bosses and caciques are dividing up Schlein’s Democratic Party
Contrary to the words of the new secretary Schlein on the end of the power of club bosses and caciques, currents of club bosses and caciques are sprouting in the direction of the Democratic Party. Facts, numbers and names
Without wanting to take anything away from the clamor of other political events that dominate the front pages of the newspapers – from the American drone shot down or crashed in the Black Sea coinciding with the passage of some Russian fighter jets to the lamented slide of Italy towards Eastern Europe only because the majority of centre-right, or right-centre, has practically rejected in the Senate the right claimed by homosexual couples to register children obtained with a surrogate womb in the registry office – allow me to underline how short the eviction notice lasted for "capibastone and caciques” party launched on Sunday in the cloud of Fuksas, in Rome, by the new secretary of the Pd Elly Schlein.
THE NEW, OLD SCHLEIN PD
After only a few hours, on the same day, the party's national assembly elected a directorate – both with a frankly uncertain number of elective and legal members – into which the evicted or those to be evicted entered in a big way.
The numbers – I repeat – are uncertain, but reports that have not been denied or corrected by a bit all the newspapers have attributed from 17 to 20 places to Dario Franceschini's current, from 12 to 15 to that of Nicola Zingaretti, between 12 and 14 to Enrico Read, between 10 and 12 to the former defense minister Lorenzo Guerini, rightly or wrongly considered a friend left by Matteo Renzi in the party he abandoned in 2019, between 7 and 8 to the former minister Andrea Orlando, between 3 and 4 to the former minister Giuseppe Provenzano, who in truth was not the owner of a current. Vincenzo De Luca, the president of the Campania region, is also represented in the management by his son Piero as outgoing deputy group leader of the Chamber. Other offal of currents or sub-currents follow.
THE EXCESSIVE EXPECTATIONS
In some televised debate or interview, those more or less interested in the gestation and birth of the new management have dismissed Schlein's departure from the club bosses and caciques as an emphatic contribution given and allowed to the climate of enthusiasm and expectation of impetuous upheavals created around the election of the new and first gender secretary of the party. Whose nose has been the object, even cartoonish, of hateful racist allusions rightly deplored by all, but of which it was enough and perhaps it would be enough to complain only of the Pinocchio-esque length. A length equal to that of the life of the currents and their leaders, or owners.
