Pd youth backtrack on out-of-town voting | Libero Quotidiano.it

Comrades, but do you want to let off-site voters vote or not? On the left, a violent short circuit is underway. Indeed, if in Parliament the amendment presented by the majority was approved unanimously, on social media the young people of the Pd fiercely attacked the norm. The problem? According to them, it would benefit the center-right. Since the off-site vote will be counted in the Municipality where it is cast, the Young Democrats argue: «In the constituencies of large cities like Rome, Milan, Turin, and Naples where off-site voters are located, the center-left already wins by a large margin». On the contrary, the constituencies of origin of students and workers «would see tens of thousands of votes from young progressives taken away at the table», is the thesis of Gd secretary Virginia Libero. «Ensuring these constituencies for the right on a permanent basis», echoes the Democrat Andrea Borello. So much certainty… But anyway, did you understand correctly? For young Democrats, the off-site vote is only of interest insofar as it brings an electoral advantage to the broad field. So much for a battle for young people.

The two ‘piddini’ (PD members) also don’t like the deadline set for December 31st to register in the Municipality where one intends to vote. «It takes away the right to vote from off-site voters who, among the thousand worries afflicting our generation, simply don’t register in time», they argue. A real trivialization of the vote, reduced to something to remember at the last minute. Not exactly a good message from two young politicians.

The internal contradictions within the Pd have not gone unnoticed on the right. And so the young people of Azione Universitaria – a student movement close to FdI – commented on the Democrats’ outbursts on social media: «It’s absurd that the left is so bothered that we made the reform, that by now off-site voters are more frightening than fascism; a diabolical plan to shift the so-called “progressive votes” from small to large centers», ironized Giorgia Faccilongo, group leader of Au at the National Council of University Students. «This is the difference between us and them: we fight battles because a principle is truly worth defending, they only if it’s convenient», emphasized the president of Azione Universitaria Nicola D’Ambrosio. In short, it’s always the same story: not having taken credit for what is, to all intents and purposes, a historical revolution – like the vote for off-site voters – has sent an entire party into a tailspin. Elly, talk among yourselves sometimes…
