So Elly Schlein tries not to get caught: circumlocutions and arabesques – Corriere.it

circonlocution. Turn of phrase used when one cannot, does not know, or does not want or dare not use one’s own expression. Seven vowels and eight consonants for this word, especially valuable in politics, which allows you to take advantage of the countless nuances that the Italian language offers. Just to say that sovereignty, at times, can also be useful for those who oppose it
.

Elly Schlein, of the use of the word, consummate teacher. Without losing the looseness of a wine-colored jacket, the arabesques of the shirts, and a little anxious breath, which in the long run appears more captivating than real. After all, it is Ennio Flaiano who taught that in Italy the shortest line between two points is the arabesque. And in fact, in his first press conference, which differs from a rally because they ask you questions, it was never apodictic, never been dogmaticnever gave his statements a character of absolute validity.

Here then is that for her it makes no sense to question the incinerator

From Rome

which also served as a battering ram to oust Mario Draghi, even if we have to look at a circular economy and separate waste collection. Support for Ukraine unwavering, and he also told the ambassador, but the indiscriminate increase in military spending is another matter. gestation for others, surrogacy, sees it in favour, but the fact is that in his proposal there is egalitarian marriage, the extension of adoptions, the recognition of all children, but not a regulation of the Gpa. What about alliances? Many issues unite us, and we need to fight on those, because, it is useless to deny it, there are also differences, otherwise we would be a single party.

And in short, the debut in the arena, where usually no prisoners are taken, has a lot of it differentiated from Giorgia Meloni, at least since Giorgia degli anni in opposition, when his speech was the evangelical s s-no no, that everything else comes from the devil. Then why did he do it? Why, after just over a month, has she broken, at least momentarily, the barrier that sees her stingy with interviews and ready to duel only when she chooses the terrain and the weapon? Reading his baptism of fire as a slip could prove unforgivable naivety.

Meanwhile, the impression that the only reason that prompted Elly Schlein to expose herself is been there trapthat turned out to be a bit naive, designed by Giuseppe Conte. The leader of the Five Stars, who liquidated Luigi Di Maio and more than spoiled the political elections, is already breathing down Virginia Raggi’s neck. And she thought of it like this: a fine agenda against waste-to-energy plants, to split the Democratic Party and corner the new secretary. Result: yesterday in four and four eight was voted, rejected and archived. The other result that Elly Schlein collected was that the United States and Europe know they will not abandon them in supporting Ukraine but she reassured the pacifists. He has not disappointed the pasdaran of civil rights, but the Catholics of the Democratic Party know that he will not strangle them. And on alliances, which knows so much that the political elections are far away, it sticks to individual issues, without displeasing anyone too much. In short, with the help of bureaucratese, he knows that there is an audience, and an electorate, ready to understand and justify, but also to applaud, all the unsaid and ambiguities that can help not get caught.

The question remains. On a large scale, outside the circle of friends and gods relatives, does it work or not work? Because breaking through doesn’t even look like getting compliments at home reciting poetry at home standing on the chair on Christmas evening. The answer, at the moment, is not there yet. First signs: after the tow of the primaries there is some crunch, almost insignificant for now, in the polls. Things from zero point, which are still there. The regional elections of Friuli-Venezia Giulia were mind-boggling, also for the party results. However, Schlein performed a small miracle in Udine’s vote: not only did he snatch the Municipality from the center-right, but he also united the Five Stars and the Third Pole, which was already imploding, in the ballot. A little bit to draw conclusions. And to know where the interlayer will lead, let’s say, used by Elly Schlein with both hands.
