“In this Democratic Party I feel like a foreign Pope.” These are the words with which Marco Tarquinio, candidate in the Center constituency for the Democratic Party, opens his electoral committee. At the event, held near Trastevere Station, many citizens, little nomenclature, some Vatican experts and above all curious to understand the difference between the new course of the former director of Avvenire, sponsored by Goffredo Bettini (great absentee of the evening) and that by secretary Elly Schlein. «Politics – explains the journalist – must return to dealing with people’s real problems. Just follow singular abstractions. In my office there are many normal people, but also managers to be respected because they had the courage not to take sides for wars of convenience.”
Among the well-known faces is the regional group leader Mario Ciarla. However, there are several references from Demos, including the national secretary Paolo Ciani, who urges the militants of his small formation to count on the ticket formed by Tarquino and the outgoing Beatrice Covassi, present at the Capitoline initiative: «Let’s do it – underlines the deputy – battles that others don’t believe in.” Who, without mincing words, launches broadsides towards the executive led by Elly is the former MEP Silvia Costa, who however quietly promises the support of the disgruntled “Prodians”, lately not so aligned with the elite of the Nazarene: «I preferred – she states , imitating his political reference – that all party secretaries should not act as party leaders.” Concrete support for Tarquinio should also come from the Capitol. Gathering the troops close to Mayor Gualtieri is councilor Barbara Funari, assisted by Sabrina Alfonsi, the most voted in the Democratic Party at the last municipal elections and by councilors Antonella Pollicita and Antonella Melito.
