The only thing that is certain is that it was not love at first sight. When she conquered the Nazarene, he uncorked the champagne bottle. “The Cossacks have arrived, the PD will never be the same again, for us centrists an exhilarating season begins”, was the epitaph he dedicated to her, without many courtesies. The past on the other hand had not been memorable: she left the party the minute before his arrival, as secretary. To say that it is impossible to speak of a particular understanding between the two, between Elly Schlein and Matteo Renzi. Perhaps this is also why the possible return of the “prodigal son” in the broad field, does not cause leaps of joy among the supporters of the Democratic secretary. The only one who speaks, in a “notarial” way is the president of the senators Francesco Boccia: “Schlein has never vetoed anyone and is not willing to suffer them. With Renzi we voted compactly against the latest measures in recent months. Unity? We need to see it in the regions. We will go to the vote in Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and hopefully in Liguria soon. The political forces that see themselves in the unitary project of the progressives must be consistent”. A not too warm welcome, which hides a certain coldness that can be felt among the front lines of the Democrats.
Too many controversies in these years, on both sides, and an almost “anthropological” difference in Elly’s nursery compared to the generation that made its way with Matteo Renzi. Because then the prophecy of the former mayor of Florence at least in part came true. With the landing of the extraterrestrial (as the Democratic secretary was called in the first months) a new party made its debut, a thousand miles away from the one that the “scrapper” had left. A left-wing PD, for some with “group” nuances, which signs the abrogative referendum on the Jobs Act, which is still the cornerstone of the Renzi season in government. If it is not a veto (at least on ideas), it is something that resembles it. In practice an abysmal distance, natural that it cannot be forgotten so quickly. A bit like in those late marriages that are born out of interest, with relatives who grumble under their breath, ready to call off the wedding. In Transatlantic, a long-time deputy instructs a small group of rookie colleagues. At the center of the discussion is another sensational interview of the former secretary, again with Maria Teresa Meli. The one from August 11, 2019, in which the then senator of Rignano unexpectedly opened up to a government with the M5S. The “knight’s move” allowed Giuseppe Conte to remain at Palazzo Chigi, replacing the League with the PD. “How long did that agreement last?”, the deputies in the first legislature brawl, “a year and a half because then Renzi took credit for a new turn with Mario Draghi”. And the crucial point in the Democratic house is precisely this: the “groom” does not enjoy a good reputation, too “faithful”.
Meanwhile, even within Italia Viva (destined to change its name) some did not appreciate the announcement of the wedding with Elly, like Luigi Marattin who contests the convocation of a national assembly, and not a congress. “Let’s go and do the reformist balancing of those who want the wealth tax, leave NATO, abolish the Jobs Act” asks the deputy ironically, attracting the ire of the ‘witnesses’ who are already queuing in front of the wedding banquet. In any case, it will not be the “wedding” of the century.
