“We listened with some astonishment to the words spoken at the National Unity Festival in Reggio Emilia by Marco Rocco De Luca, city councilor of the Democratic Party in Cesena. Phrases that seem to come directly from an extremist political assembly of the Seventies: ‘We must destroy this capitalism,’ free ourselves from the ‘imperialist yoke of the United States’ and from the ‘sirens of capitalism, capital, and liberalism,’ says De Luca while proudly proclaiming himself ‘son and grandson of the history of Italian communism.’ A surreal speech, a concentration of slogans and watchwords one would expect to hear from a nostalgic militant during a reunion and not from a city councilor of the PD who, evidently, does not know the history and composition of the party he represents.”

The statement comes from the FdI senator Michele Barcaiuolo, coordinator of the party in Emilia-Romagna. “And it is here – he continues – that the matter stops being folkloric and becomes politically interesting. The Democratic Party proposes itself as the main force of a possible government alternative, but it cannot even remotely find a common line among its own factions. Within the same party coexist the reformists, the Christian-democratic tradition, and leaders of its youth organization who take the stage at the Unity Festival to call for the overcoming of capitalism and proudly claim the communist heritage. More than a political line, it seems like a permanent congress: all in the same party, but each acting on their own.”
“The issue – adds the Meloni supporter – becomes even more grotesque if one simultaneously looks at what is happening in the broad field. Elly Schlein proposed to President Meloni a discussion with the Government on the use of the 14 billion available for the energy transition, finding full willingness to dialogue from the Prime Minister. However, the reaction of the allies of the so-called broad field was anything but united, with Green and Left Alliance and Five Star Movement who, as usual, firmly opposed any form of dialogue with the Executive.”

“In short – concludes Barcaiuolo -, the PD is unable to find a synthesis within itself and, as soon as it tries to take a step on the institutional confrontation ground, it finds itself in a broad field where everyone proceeds on their own.” “The question, then, arises spontaneously: how can a Democratic Party in these conditions seriously think of proposing itself as a government alternative? If it is a challenge to establish what the party’s line is, we dare not imagine what could happen if it became the pivot of a broad field that, at this moment, more than a coalition seems like the Brancaleone Army.”
And you who thought that the attack on neo-liberalism by Secretary Schlein – or the invitation to desertion by the youth secretariat – was enough.
