Schlein, or the banality of a program for leading the Democratic Party

The motion with which Bonaccini’s former deputy is a candidate for the secretariat is a succession of clichés (“abolish the patriarchy!”). But one detail reveals that you at least understood that the Democratic Party, in order to win again, must be the linchpin of a broad coalition that goes from the left to the center

“Without the base, forget the heights”. In an act of pure masochism, we chose to put ourselves in a good and good mood carefully read the congressional motions of the two most important pretenders to the secretariat of the Democratic Party: Elly Schlein and Stefano Bonaccini. We started, to hurt ourselves, from the motion of the first, from Bonaccini’s former deputy. With great curiosity we went into the reading of the text (105 thousand jokesthe electoral program of Fratelli d’Italia was 74,000 characters) and we found ourselves faced with a political document of such caliber as to make Laura Puppato’s motion regret (year 2012). At first reading, Elly Schlein’s motion, with all due respect to a woman who courageously chose to run for leadership of one of Europe’s most important parties, appears a serious response to a need shown years ago by Alessandro Di Battista in one of his famous essays covered at length in this journaland if the legendary Dibba had known that sooner or later Italy would have had to deal with the Schlein doctrine he would probably have given up on hitchhiking through Latin America “among the people like an ordinary person, looking for juice humanity”.
