Schlein takes a big risk by moving further and further to the left. Either she will be forced out after the European elections or risks a split
Enrico Berlinguer's eyes on the 2024 membership card of the Democratic Party. The presentation made with pride and emphasis by the secretary Elly Schlein risks becoming yet another boomerang within a Democratic Party already shaken by the judicial events in Bari and Puglia and by the break with the 5 Star Movement. Just read the caustic but vitriolic comment from Lorenzo Guerinileader of the reformist and Catholic minority of the Dems. The former Defense Minister and president of Copasir, after the announcement of the card with the eyes of the historic secretary of the Italian Communist Party, stated: “So in 2025 we will set our sights on the card Of Aldo Moro“.
Translation: the Democratic Party is not just the communist tradition, then Pds And DS but also the moderate, Catholic and reformist one of Margherita and therefore of an important slice, the one further to the left, of the Christian Democracy. With the microphone strictly off, given that on Sunday the national leadership launches the candidatures for the European elections of 8-9 June and no one wants to expose themselves now against the secretary, many Dem representatives, especially from the minority, explain without too many mincing words that “Elly isn't getting one right“. In Puglia everything failed, through no fault of his own, but given the competitive attitude of Giuseppe Conte, who is trying to overtake the Democratic Party at the European Championships, Schlein saw his wide-field project collapse with the serious risk of losing the leadership of the city of Bari.
By going separate, in fact, i surveys they assume the centre-right candidate is the winner Fabio Romito. But this latest idea from Berlinguer's eyes on this year's membership has literally made the many Catholics still left in the Democratic Party nervous and many are starting to think that Beppe Fioroni was probably right to leave months and months ago. However, at this point, one of two things: either the secretary with a terrible result at European – below 20% – and in the administrative elections (defeat in Piedmont is practically certain) she is sent home by the majority of the national assembly with Paolo Gentiloni leading the way until the primaries in the autumn; or there will be a split, if Schlein were to remain secretary, by a significant part of reformists and Catholics.
The position of is ambiguous Dario Franceschini, who had supported Schlein in the primaries together with the left of the party, but who is now not expressing himself. Many believe that before taking any political step he wants to understand what the “wind is” and to move either to unload Schlein or to participate in a split towards the center. Direction Calenda or Renzi everything will remain to be seen also based on the results of the European Championships.
