To Pier Luigi Bersani, more than AfD, it seems the chaos reigning in the center-left is worrying. And perhaps, on closer inspection, the crisis of progressives in Germany, Italy, and Europe is the very cause of the boom of far-right parties. For this reason, from the stage of the Festa dell’Unità di Torino, the former secretary of the Democratic Party sends a message to Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte that resembles more of a blow.
“Let’s make a program, but not a big book, ten points that go straight to the heart of people’s existence. The day after, if this is done together, everything is downplayed. And then we can hold primaries, secondaries, tertiaries, a wooden table…”. And goodbye to the sometimes surreal debate between the leaders of the Democrats and the 5 Stars.
Conte drops the bomb on the Pd: “If I don’t hold the primaries my people will spit on me”
A moment of pure conviviality for Giuseppe Conte, who enjoys the Festa dell’Unità at Villa Fastigg…
“Let’s stop putting Cernobbio on the front page, please. 5% of GDP for rearmament? No thanks,” he thunders in front of Democratic voters. “I don’t have easy recipes – admits Bersani, addressing the AfD issue -. We must with all the strength we have try to make it understood that even the problems – old, new, ancient – now must take a back seat. If we look at the depth of the problem we have in Europe and Italy, looking at the past means combing dolls in front of what is happening. So, a political push is needed, generosity is needed, the strength to say: ‘Ok, we have had some serious problems too, but faced with these new developments we put them aside.’ This is the appeal I would make.”

In Turin as in Rome, Carlo Calenda intends to keep Azione out of the perimeter of the broad field. “I know Calenda well, he has a certain character. I tell him: ‘Do well what you believe, but think about it, think about it well. If you are a liberal, think about it well,'” Bersani spreads his arms, but tries to sound the charge: “Enough being scared. We must finally take a look at the enormous strength of humanistic, democratic, liberal cultures that exist. We must awaken them. Even in the blackest region of Europe, damn it, still 56% of the people did not agree. So, I would like us to start from there, and that this great area of sensitivity, of value, takes responsibility and understands that it is time to speak directly to the real needs of life, the real needs of people.”
