“The Schlein secretariat? Corbyn-like profile,” says former Senator Andrea Marcucci

The “high quality team”, as the dem secretary describes it, was born with a strong left-left identity imprint. “The moderate area has been marginalized,” the exponent of the reformist base tells us

Twenty-one names for a sort of shadow government, and the promise of “continuing to be a problem for the Meloni government”: Elly Schlein’s new secretariat was born with a live broadcast on Instagram and with a strong left-left identity imprint for what the new secretary defines a “high quality team”. However, the same team arouses some concern in those who think that the approach and contents conveyed by Schlein so far could jeopardize the reformist profile of the party. For example Andrea Marcucci, senator in the previous legislature and exponent of the reformist Base, has repeatedly expressed his concern since February 26, the day of Schlein’s victory in the primaries (“in a few months we have moved from the Draghi agenda to a party that seems assume Mèlenchon as a model”, he wrote on Twitter a few days ago, after having underlined on various occasions that an “international change of course” in the Democratic Party, for example, would have been incompatible with his presence in the party). And now, faced with a list of names for the most part breaking with the previous pd profile, and in some aspects very “movementist”, Marcucci observes: “I said Mélenchon, but the profile chosen by Schlein is also very similar to that by Jeremy Corbyn.”
