separated at home –

From center-left to left only. A condition that is leading to the definitive split in the Democratic Party. “The two souls live increasingly separated at home,” says Francesco Verderami about the dems, who in his article for Corriere della Sera tells the background of a phrase from one of the big names in the reformist current of the party: “Elly Schlein away? We’ll be leaving soon.” “It wasn’t just a way to report a condition of discomfort. The joke reveals the urgency of finding a solution to decide the fate of the Democratic Party, is it advisable to remain party comrades or is it preferable to return to being allies?”, the expert political journalist paints the picture on the possibilities of a split.

But not everyone agrees on the possibility of splitting and remaining allies between more centrists and those further to the left. Such as Romano Prodi, who wants at all costs that the Democratic Party’s project continues as it has done in the last 17 years. “Even the left-wing components of the party are preparing to put pressure on the secretary to avoid a rift with the reformist area. There is the fear of the ‘unpacking’ of the Democratic Party”, reveals Verderami. But the ideas within the Democratic Party are profoundly different, with aid to Ukraine and the referendum against the Jobs Act being among the hottest and most divisive issues. Dario Franceschini is trying to calm things down: “This discussion will be overcome when it becomes clear at the European elections that the opposition forces will have numbers greater than those of the majority. Then we will understand that to beat the right in politics we will have to unite.” The problem always remains how.
