Elly Schlein tries to justify herself, but the answer creates further embarrassment. Speaking on SkyTg24’s ‘Live in’, the leader of the Democratic Party was questioned about her absence yesterday in the synagogue on the anniversary of October 7, the date of the massacre perpetrated by Hamas in Israel. This is the secretary’s response: “The Democratic Party was there in the presence of our foreign affairs manager Peppe Provenzano and several deputies and senators. The Democratic Party was there.” Too bad she wasn’t there or other real big names among the dems.
During the interview she was also asked about the idea of the patrimonial tax: “The first thing to do is to fight tax evasion, we have a government that has made 20 amnesties, it’s a signal for those who want to be smart. We would not agree to raise taxes on the middle class, but I think Lula is right to ask governments for an international tax on the super rich. This discussion can be had,” added Schlein. So progressive taxation is good, but by not raising taxes on the middle class, we can discuss a patrimonial one at a European, international, concerted level. An agreement was reached on minimum corporate taxation, so Lula was right to bring the taxation of the super rich to the attention of governments.”
Another delicate topic is the regional elections and the presence or absence of the Italia Viva symbol in Emilia Romagna: “The territories and our gubernatorial candidates are dealing with alliances, starting with Michele De Pascale. We are trying to build convergences on issues, we are moving forward with this approach here, also in Parliament. We have a lot of respect for our allies, we try to take charge of the problems they show even if it is not always easy. We say not personal vetoes but programmatic conditions. We support the work of the territories but do not make impositions from above.” Ball thrown into the stands.
