“Why Schlein is a terrible political leader” – Libero Quotidiano

To have an agreement Italo Bocchinodirector of Century of Italyand Andrea Scanzi, journalist of Everyday occurrence it is a feat that, despite himself, only Elly Schlein, secretary of the PD, could accomplish. All this is manifested in the study of Otto e Mezzo, La7’s pre-evening political in-depth talk, hosted by Lilli Gruber. And in fact, everyone is surprised by the line of thought on Schlein’s political ability on the part of the two guests, with Bocchino starting out like this: “I agree with what Scanzi said, I think that Elly Schlein is in great difficulty, there is no he does it. I consider Elly Schlein a terrible political leader, but I must recognize that one cannot discuss the person from an ethical and moral point of view.”

What, then, are the main flaws in his work? Bocchino explains it like this: “he doesn’t have the broad shoulders to face a complex situation like that of the Democratic Party full, as you said, of caciques and chieftains. Furthermore, you are in difficulty, because you have an ally next to you (Conte, ed.) who has only one objective, that of making him the candidate for Prime Minister next time and therefore must weaken him”. However, Prime Minister Meloni’s strategy is different: “When he chooses, intelligently from a political point of view, Elly Schlein as a foil and we go to the Meloni-Schlein comparison, he does it because the head of the PD is weaker. Conte sees himself as isolated – the director of Secolo d’Italai continues in his analysis – and must find a way every time to create distinctions, sometimes even contradicting what he said the day before to break the bank. So, when you have in a coalition the ally with whom you should go to win the elections that puts you in difficulty every day, it becomes difficult. With the events of Bari and Turin, then, the principle of the moral superiority of the left, recited for decades, disappears, also betraying the message that Enrico Berlinguer had left as a legacy on the moral question. Now the party (the PD, ed.) is in the hands of local lords who pick up everything and whatever happens happens.”

And on the right instead? Again Bocchino: “On the right there is no this problem, there is a coalition that has existed for thirty years, it discusses because it is not a barracks, and the suspects are not all defended, they must all be defended, because the Constitution says so . Unless one is under investigation for rape of children, for sexual violence, domestic violence, for the mafia, for the Camorra, even for fraud against the state. Those need to be isolated quickly, but it’s a very different thing, you have to be very careful.”
