Clashes with the Five Star Movement were not enough. Now, on the issue of military spending, the Democratic Party is also fighting internally.

The day goes on. Inside Pd chaos reigns. Schlein tries once again to reassure her people: “(Conte, ed.) He did not win at all, on the contrary. He came to our positions, so much so that on the Safe, contrary to what he wanted, there is nothing written.” However, Elly is in total difficulty, so much so that she does not intervene in the Chamber and leaves the floor to Maria Cecilia Guerra. “Not exactly a leading figure of the Dem leadership,” reads the Corriere.
