Pd, the Genoa issue is blocking the marriage with Renzi. “Enough ambiguity” –

The daisy of ‘Renzi yes, Renzi no’ has exhausted its petals: it is time to focus on the issues to press the government and on the programs of the next regional elections. The leaders of the national secretariat and elected members of the Democratic Party seem to agree on this point. And the Democratic secretary, Elly Schlein, reiterates it indirectly by appearing alongside the workers of the Industria Italiana Autobus of Bologna, in protest after the letter informing them of the transfer of production to Campania, 600 kilometers away. “In fact, a collective dismissal”, explains the Democratic leader, underlining the need to provide the country “with a real industrial plan”. It is one of the issues dear to the Democratic Party and on which the secretary has based her militant summer.

The Renzi ‘knot’, however, is far from resolved, as demonstrated by the warning launched by the former scrapper to his allies: «If the line in the center-left is given by the PD with Elly Schlein – no one vetoes, build an alternative to the Meloni/Salvini government – we are in and we are decisive. If the line in the center-left is given by the Fatto Quotidiano with Marco Travaglio – veto against the center, let the grillini get closer to the right – we are not in and we are proudly out of this stuff here», says Renzi. The Democrats, however, relaunch the request to the Renzians to cut ties with the Bucci administration in Genoa, as the representative of the Democratic secretariat, Marco Sarracino, also repeats today: «All ambiguities must be resolved starting with the unsustainable presence of some forces within the Bucci government». The fact is that the Renzians in the city council and the municipal board in Genoa do not seem to have any intention of leaving office, also because they were elected within a civic list. A scheme, that of presenting their own representatives within a civic list, that the Renzians could replicate also for Liguria.

A prospect that the Five Stars firmly reject: that of the alliance with Renzi is not a viable option, they say from Campo Marzio, dismissing the issue with a lapidary ‘No’ to alliances with Renzi, both at a local and national level. The left to the left of the PD, starting with Ferruccio Sansa and Gianni Pastorino’s Linea Condivisa, are of the same opinion.
