The Democratic Party does not touch the ball in Rai. And the polls are still worrying

The repeated incidents in which the center-right is running into make the leaders of the Democratic Party breathe a sigh of relief because they (temporarily) overshadow the many, too many, problems that complicate life in the dem house. There has been some agitation in the Democratic Party for a few days because the ball is not touched in Rai. In the literal sense of the word. It used to be that a phone call from the Nazarene was enough to get an editor-in-chief and some pressure to promote a presenter or host to get a program. Instead, as we saw after the abandonment of Bianca Berlinguer, now the Democratic Party can’t even get that television space. The candidates closest to the dem now seem out of the game, while in the full nominations of the post Berlinguer the names of journalists very welcome to Giuseppe Conte are raging. Like those of Peter Gomez and Michele Santoro. In truth, the latter, according to what is said in the small groups of dem parliamentarians, would not be disliked even by Schlein (Ruotolo, his great associate, is sponsoring him big time at the secretary), despite having an opposite line on Ukraine adopted by the Pd. The reformist wing of the dem also complains that people do not understand each other who really manages relations with Rai: the powerful spokesman of Schlein, Flavio Alivernini, Marco Furfaro or Francesco Boccia? In the confusion that now reigns supreme among the dem, Giuseppe Conte takes advantage of it, strong in an iron, albeit unwritten, pact with the right.

Another reason for concern for the reformists of the Democratic Party is once again linked to the choice of exponents that Schlein wanted to involve in the party’s governing bodies. After the outing of the sardine Jasmine Corallo, who, in the throes of unbridled enthusiasm, thought it best to kiss Conte’s hand, met at the 5-star demonstration on Citizenship Income, the other day Marco left Boschini, who joined the National Directorate thanks to the new secretary. Boschini, an activist and environmentalist, took part in a demonstration against the Tav in Val di Susa, arousing the strong perplexities of a piece of the Piedmontese Democratic Party.

They tell the Nazarene that, between ups and downs, the relationship between Elly Schlein and Stefano Bonaccini actually works. But on one point the two are in conflict. On who should be the candidate for the presidency of the Emilia-Romagna region when the president of the Democratic Party leaves. If Bonaccini focuses on the mayor of Ravenna, Michele De Pascale, or secondly on the very loyal Andrea De Maria, Schlein asks for a replacement and aims to have his man in that chair. The name of Gaspare Righi, head of his secretariat, is mentioned. MEP Elisabetta Gualmini, a Veltronian-inspired Pd pasionaria who has already nominated herself for that role, could take advantage of this stalemate.

Al Nazareno is red alert for polls that continue to record a negative trend for the Democratic Party. For this reason, Schlein has decided to put all his effort into his militant summer, beating cities, squares, making himself seen among the people. The dem secretary has also decided to entrust the toughest statements against the government to Marco Furfaro and Marta Bonafoni, two members of the Democratic Party who she wants to bring out at all costs to rejuvenate the party’s image.
