Very shy Pd on the ‘Lodo’ Franceschini. The Cinquestelle, "we evaluate"

“Marciare divided, hit together”: it seems to be inspired by the maximum of the Feldramaresse Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf Von MolTke the idea of ​​Dario Franceschini to set aside any ambition of structural alliance of the center -left and present himself in the elections each on his own. Except, then, to make agreements in the colleges in which the majority applies: “It is sufficient to make an agreement on the third of the seats that are assigned with the uninominal colleges to beat the candidates of the right”, says Franceschini after having to premise that “the olive tree will not return and not even the union of the second Prodi”.

A way to allow the birth of the coalition in parliament, numbers in hand. An idea made by the former Minister of Culture in an interview and which was received with a certain favor outside the Democratic Party. “It seems to me an interesting proposal, which does not screech with the political location of the M5S,” he says Stefano Patuanelli, group leader M5S in the Senate. “You can evaluate. The differences are there, but they are often within the same PD “, observes the pentastellato exponent. More skepticism is recorded inside the Democratic Party where the idea does not warm the hearts, as an exponent admits:” We worked so far by proclaiming us ‘stubbornly unitary’, so we risk not making us understand “, is the reasoning offered.

And the secretary Elly Schlein, questioned on the point, liquidates the matter: “I prefer concrete themes, I would not enter this debate. “To be wrong, for a Pd deputy, it is the timing of Franceschini’s release, more than two years after the policies. Too much to open a debate that, if he aims to change the Electoral law, it must be done more close to the appointment with the polls, in order not to lose “the surprise effect”.

To raise questions, then, is also the fact that Franceschini decided to talk about it on the eve of a tour of Elly Schlein in Veneto, where the dem hope to obtain a historic victory at the next regional against the center -right. A victory that passes mainly for a coalition to be opposed to the center -right. The defeat in Liguria, like the victories in Emilia-Romagna and above all Umbria, teach the dem who wins if you run united. The condition, however, is that there is a center that acts as an attractive pole to moderate voters. A condition that was not made in Liguria for the veto placed by M5S and AVS – but also from Calenda – to the candidates of Italy Viva.

Franceschini’s idea plans to leave that center free to run, even in several formations, and then weigh his votes in Parliament. A perspective, this, which seems to wink also to Forza Italia. Not surprisingly, the stop of Maurizio Gasparri who defines the proposal “a poisoned meatball” And he assures: “Franceschini wants the hegemony of a minority Democratic Party and will not have it. There will be no electoral law functional to him and Schlein”.

The other hypothesis underlying Franceschini’s reasoning is that we can get to relatively short times to a modification of the electoral law. Difficult, given the relationships of force in Parliament and the electoral weight of Fratelli d’Italia. “Given that the return to proportional law is impossible, as well as not desirable in the system, the point is that The Democratic Party is not yet credible as a pin of a government alternative And that this political problem arises both with a system with uninominal colleges and with the majority prize. And that the allies cannot solve it, “says the Constitutionalist of the Democratic Party Stefano Ceccanti, vice -president of equal freedom, the association that met in Orvieto last weekend.” This is what we tried to tell Orvieto and For now he does not seem to inspire reactions consistent reactions for example on the wrong referendums on the Jobs Act “, adds Ceccanti.
