The PSE is betting on Schlein after Qatar. The European mission and Elly’s dreams: I’ll be back as prime minister

“I received a great reception. I’m here to network,” says the secretary of the Democratic Party in Brussels. You met the main European leaders: from the Spanish Sanchez to the Swedish Andersson, up to Timmermans and Gentiloni, who says: “The debut of the dem was excellent”

Brussels, from our correspondent. In tune with the local skyline Elly Schlein abandons the indie concert look of Calcutta (“but I’m indie!”). The elegant pinstripe of the Pd secretary crosses the streets and buildings of the European institutions. The mission is over. She returns to Rome, where the quarrels of her party await her. That’s why she doesn’t stop smoking the e-cigarette. The idea of ​​throwing yourself into the currents mustn’t excite you, after this breath of international air. However, over the weekend you will call all the dem parliamentarians one by one to propose to them the names of the future group leaders (Chiara Braga in the Chamber and Francesco Boccia in the Senate). Snipers are around the corner. Better rewind the thread of the day. “I received a great welcome from the PSE leaders, they asked me about the primaries. Italy isolated? Well, we socialists have clear ideas,” Schlein tells Il Foglio.
