The fear of the Pd reformists, who try to anticipate: “Who will be the next to go out?”

“Borghi’s choice must serve as a warning to take us one step forward“. The deputy of the Democratic Party said it clearly Marianna Madia. But in the so-called reformist area of ​​the dem, many think in these terms. In these hours, it’s not so much the meaning to be assigned to the farewell of the vice president of Copasir, who accused the new secretary Schlein of carrying the party on maximalist demands, that is racking his brains, but rather to predict who might be next to announce: “I’m leaving “. Given that estimates are already circulating in the two houses of Parliament, which are especially worrying at Palazzo Madama. “Already four would be ready to leave”, it is rumored.

The reformist Senator from Base had recently distanced himself from the historic current to which he belonged, he was given among the most intransigent Latvians but still a few weeks ago in the Foglio, while betraying a certain apprehension, he confessed that he wanted to understand which route was traced by Schlein before being able to make hasty judgments. No one in the Democratic Party expected such a sudden step back. And precisely the ways in which it materialized, a message on the chat of the parliamentary group at dawn on Wednesday, convinced some reformist leaders that now is the time to try to overturn if not the situation, at least the narrative that stands doing. In short, because the message is not passed on that those who have lost the congress in the Democratic Party can no longer feel at home.

In addition to Madia, the faithful of the former secretary Letta also repeated it today Marco Meloni, according to which, as confessed to Repubblica, “that of Borghi is an isolated gesture, the result of a serious and unmotivated decision. Borghi describes the Democratic Party as the caricature that makes us the worst right-wing propaganda”. And then again that “left-wing Catholics are very present, in key positions, at the top of the party and of the parliamentary groups“. There would be no reasons for concern, were it not for the fact that after Borghi’s announcement another one of equal importance was produced such as the farewell of MEP Caterina Chinnici – she will join Forza Italia – which certainly is not served to mitigate the waters.

The fact is that now, to at least try to control this convulsive phase, the reformists have decided to play in advance, to leave a kind of representative groove. Thus today the parliamentarians Lia Quartapelle, Marianna Madia and Filippo Sensi, presented a cycle of “seminars on the future” which will start on May 4th and which will serve to give voice to this political and cultural area. Whether it remains a purely symbolic battle or serves to stop the bleeding in the bud will be understood as the weeks go by. Always with the risk that it is too late.
