Schools are starting, let’s do a bit of logical analysis on Elly Schlein’s words, meanwhile on Draghi… Comment
Over the weekend the leader of the Democratic Party closed the Festival of Unity of Reggio Emilia with a series of statements. “Our task is to work together on a project for Italy, on a few priorities, which can be listed on the fingers of one hand: public health, education and research, work and wages, industrial policy, social and civil rights (…) build an alliance in society, in the country and with other political forces to send the government home; we want to close the season of the most right-wing government in the history of the republic and create this alternative in the country, rather than in the palace”.
Task for students who are about to return to school: try to decipher the contents. Performance of the best student: nothing to say. Vote: ten with honors. Please note this is the student’s grade. Vote for Thin: very insufficient, good eloquence but the content did not come through. Obviously Schlein is not the only one who fills the newspapers with statements of this kind, but for her it is an aggravating factor being the head of an opposition that would like to oust a government thatlike it or not, He’s not doing too badly apart from a few family escapades. We have already said it here, the economy is holding up, the accounts are in turmoil but no more than in other important countries, we will see the next budget maneuver that will have to be drawn up within rigid constraints due to the ongoing European infringement.
There is a lot of talk about a PD’s rapprochement with Renzi, but Schlein was not the main opponent of the Jobs Actthe most sacrosanct and successful Renzian reform (largely dismantled)? How does Schlein plan to tackle the priorities indicated such as work, wages and industrial policy? Continuing to wink at Landini or by siding with the reformists in his party who are very close to Calenda’s positions? Do we remember Landini’s apocalyptic scenarios when the post-Covid ban on layoffs ended? For this alone he should have retired to private life (today we have an unemployment rate at rock bottom).
While on wages What does Schlein say? Will he continue to fight the fair but unsuccessful battle for the minimum wage or will he support the decentralized bargaining that the union left has always opposed? Let us remember that Schlein has never denied theEco bonus and the Citizenship Income promoted by the people’s lawyer Conte, while Renzi and the reformists of the Democratic Party saw it as smoke in the eyes. Do we still want to continue to believe in the fairy tale of wide field new edition of the Prodian olive tree that lasted like a cat on the ring road? Do we then want to talk about Israel and Ukraine?
Here too, which side is he on? Thin? The choice is very simple, are you on the side of democracies or autocracies? Without forgetting that democracy, to be saved, may also require weapons. Dear Schlein, you have highways in front of you to press the government, but you need the details of the proposals and how you intend to implement them, with what timeframes and resources, only then will we be able to understand the real substance of the Pd that cannot continue to stay in a comfortable limbo, perfect for cultural exercises but totally “unfit” (or inappropriate, to recall a famous epithet against Berlusconi) to build a concrete alternative government.
Look more at the English Labourism (who governs) and less to the radicalism of the French left (who shouts). Meanwhile the 5 Stars are going arm in arm together against the Draghi report on competitiveness, meditate Thin…but we’ll come back to this.
