Angelo Bonelli unmasks Elly Schlein: “What she really thinks about Russia and Putin” | Libero Quotidiano.it

Not only Giuseppe Conte thinks that Russia is harmless, but also the Green spokesperson Angelo Bonelli. Commenting on the latest statements by the Five Star leader, according to which “they are building a Russian threat to convince us that we must arm ourselves to the teeth to go and counter and wage war,” the Avs member told Foglio: “Giuseppe Conte’s statement is not a scandal. It is not for us, the Alliance of Greens and Left, and it is not for the Democratic Party, which has always said no to rearmament. The controversies? Totally unfounded.”

When he was pointed out that not all of the PD is against rearmament, Bonelli replied: “If you refer to the PD reformists, I think they are Giorgia Meloni’s best allies.” According to him, “someone does not like our alliance” and “this someone has only one goal: to break the broad front.” In other words, he believes there is a strategy at work: “I was not born yesterday. But I want to reassure these subjects. And tell them that we will not break.” Pressed by the journalist, the Green spokesperson specified that “these subjects” are “the reformists and also a part of the left-left,” meaning by “left-left” not his party: “I refer to the left-left of Power to the People. The one that, I said, feels purer, more extreme, which does nothing but play Giorgia Meloni’s game. But then, indeed, there is the pseudo-left of Gori, the reformists, of Pina Picierno.”

For Bonelli, therefore, there is “the fake left of the centrists, the reformists, those who if they had 40 percent of the votes I would understand…” and “instead they have the votes they have. And they ignore that democracy is also made of numbers.” The member then hoped that all centrist forces find a synthesis on the contents, emphasizing however that “we all have a very clear position on rearmament. And we are not willing to take steps back.” Returning to Conte’s discourse on Russia, he explained: “The point is that we must not arm ourselves to the teeth because now there is Russia.” And again: “I do not understand, believe me, why no one ever points out that the PD, the M5S and Avs have a common foreign policy. We have a foreign policy that says yes to the common defense of Europe and supports a mechanism that removes unanimity. Then, of course, we are all strongly against the rearmament of member states that is driving Germany crazy to spend 500 billion euros. A common policy, on the other hand, would allow the rationalization of spending.”

But then, if the PD leader is against rearmament why doesn’t she say it openly? Because of the reformists? He was asked. And he: “Elly Schlein is doing an extraordinary job to promote the construction of the program.” According to Bonelli, however, it is not the Democratic secretary who must expel the reformists, “they are the ones who must make a choice. But the truth is that they would like to replace us.” And again: “They would like a big PD, that keeps out the Movement and Avs. It would be interesting to see them, also from a numerical point of view. If I were an idiot, I repeat, I would think of a Meloni direction.” “Then I notice that the same vehemence they use to criticize Elly, they do not use to highlight Giorgia’s mistakes – he added -. Picierno, in her interviews, only aims at the broad front. When does she ever criticize the government? In her interviews I only read the desire to get rid of us.”
