The queen is naked. However, it is not the court jester who says it, but the contender for the throne. Elly Schlein left for her long and silent holidays complaining that a good part of the left, even within the PD, does not want her as a prime minister candidate because she is a woman and homosexual. When asked with what program she would like to attempt the race to Palazzo Chigi, the Democratic secretary replied that it was a topic to be addressed after the holidays.
Her misfortune is that the world did not stop with her. Giuseppe Conte moved forward. Yesterday he intervened, unsolicited, in the debate launched by the newspaper Repubblica, which with the new direction of Stefano Cappellini is attempting a leap into rationality, on how damaging the excesses of woke culture are for the left. While the head of the PD continues to transfer to Italy as if nothing happened, indeed like any Laura Boldrini, the crazy grammatical errors of political correctness, the leader of M5S sets high and clear barriers. The former prime minister also does not miss the opportunity to explain to the leader of the largest party of the Italian left what the left should return to saying and doing to appear as such to its voters.
THE LITTLE LESSON
A brief, literal summary of the lawyer’s little lesson to ClarabElly. 1) «Woke culture and cancel culture have left me perplexed more than once.» Translated: comrades, you have filled my head with nonsense. 2) «It has spread among the more educated urban classes, giving the image of a left unwilling to question the privileges of the wealthier social classes.» Translated: it’s a ZTL thing, good as a decoy to change nothing. 3) «It has helped to fight forms of racism and sexism but it is a moral religion that cannot constitute the ideological backbone of a progressive force.» Translated: if you want to win elections, it’s time to shelve it and start talking about serious things. 4) «A progressive force must intervene on the roots of inequalities, offer specific answers and deal with an economy that is increasingly just finance.» Translated: dear Elly, say something leftist, if you can. Replies from the lady involved: none. How can Conte’s move be interpreted? The lawyer is in an election campaign, but he has understood that before playing the final match with Giorgia Meloni, he must eliminate minor rivals, like Schlein, and his strategy is to treat them as such.
The Democratic secretary is convinced that miracles are like cherries, one leads to another, and deludes herself that the PD machine, the same one that did not allow Stefano Bonaccini to defeat her in the Democratic primaries, will carry her by inertia to defeat the M5S leader in the broad field primaries. In short, he is in the game, she is on the moon. Giuseppi attacks Elly from the left and the right, it is a total encirclement. From the left, he reminds her that the battles to be fought are those against inequalities and for the real economy before those in favor of diversity and income leveling. From the right, he hits on security, the fight against irregular immigration, and the opposition to globalist web multinationals.

The M5S leader puts his finger on the sore spot, challenges Schlein on her inadequacy of economic vision, on the ambiguity of the PD’s history with big capital, national and international, on the underestimation, at times denial, by the Democrats of the criminal impact of immigration, irregular but not only, and corners her on foreign policy and international commitments, reiterating cuts to military spending. Conte knows that each of the topics he touches is an unsolvable problem for Schlein and an opportunity for him.
Unlike his rival, Giuseppi has understood that there is not much time from now until the games are played, so he gets ahead and, as the law of the street suggests, hits first because that way he hits twice. While she stubbornly remains united in words but cannot get anyone to agree, at the moment not even guaranteeing Matteo Renzi that he will be part of the alliance, he stubbornly stands alone but manages to cover all fronts. He talks about Gaza and Ukraine to closely mark Alessandro Di Battista, taking away space for a possible run, then cites Pope Leo’s encyclical on social justice to run and gain credibility with the Catholic Democratic area, Margherita front, and neutralize centrist attempts by Alessandro Onorato and associates.
THE FAVORITE
The result is that at the moment the M5S leader is preferred as prime minister candidate by the majority of broad field voters compared to the Democratic secretary. However, this does not help the Movement grow in the polls nor does it harm the PD. Conte is much stronger than his party while the exact opposite is true for Schlein. How is this possible? Partly because the pull effect of the prime minister candidate on their reference formation only happens once the candidacy is official, so there would be room for growth for the grillini, largely because the Democratic secretary has never been fully accepted by her entire party, which would take advantage of a misstep in the primaries to get rid of her, or at least sees the continuation of her mandate beyond its expiration as a nightmare.
