Zingaretti vs. Zingaretti | The HuffPost

Comrades of the counter-order, whatever the government goes, it must be protected, at least in its intentions, from the result of the referendum at least (who knows the rest): “There is an overload of politicization that we have all produced. Of course there would be difficulties, but I am not convinced that if No prevails, the government would fall ”. Here, with these words, today’s Zingaretti, in its report to the leadership of the Democratic Party, corrects, or rather overturns, the Zingaretti who, a few days ago, in a passionate speech in Repubblica, wrote: “The difficult thing to do To deal with is the cunning, the Byzantinism or the hypocrisy of those who argue that by losing the Regionals and winning the No, everything can continue as before, without affecting the life of the Government and the Legislature ”.

Counter-order also on the democratic alarm caused by a possible triumph of the Yes, in the absence of corrective measures in the field of electoral law (agreement currently drawn up on water): “It is generic and instrumental – he says in his report – to foresee that from from the triumph of Yes, an unstoppable populist wind would rise, a danger to democracy ”. Precisely, he adds, from the victory it is possible to launch a reform project, another powerful self-correction with respect to the populist hurricane that the same secretary warned fearfully in a note of August 4: “The concerns expressed by many are well founded and also ours. personality on the danger of voting in favor of the referendum on the reduction of parliamentarians without a new electoral law ”.

Contrast also with respect to the request for a “turning point”, formalized in the direction of the first post-confinement -and requested, even yesterday, by the most authoritarian and influential director of this Pd, Goffredo Bettini- in the context of a speech aware of the crucial moment, because “right there”, rocky, threatening, ready to ride fear and the answer cannot be immobility, marriage, the absence of an idea of ​​country. Obviously, the request was unfulfilled. He repeats, even after the Cernobbio carnivals, where the presence of Giuseppe Conte was recorded, more than on a proposal for the reconstruction of the country, on jokes that translate frustrations and political tactics, from the unfortunate departure of Draghi to the inopportune. of a joke about Mattarella’s encore. In fact, the prize for this performance will be the presence of the premier at the Festa dell’Unità, an unexpected and pleasant surprise, in the era of lightness a of words and the great indulgence of seriousness. After all, this is also a sign of who is really in charge.

In short, we said, counter-order, about the risks of the Government, about the democratic danger, about the need to change course, as in the basic point, because in the famous Government agreement it was written, in the famous point 10, that it had to initiate “contextually” to the Court of the parliamentarians a path of constitutional and electoral reforms to balance the imbalances. Even “contextuality” has been lost. Here, for the love of God, Zingaretti is also right, in a party sick of governmentalism, actualism and many “isms”, including inaction, that the cross of responsibility is collective, as he recalled so much in regards to the birth of the government as in the cut of parliamentarians, because no one in Parliament shouted so much scandal at the time of the vote. However, the sequence of positions expressed first and then declassified in the subsequent report, as if they were not about political questions firmly anchored in principles, convictions and visions, becomes the emblem of this phase: a party finally available for everything. that renounces, even if it is in the area of ​​substantial government loyalty, also, bye, a bit of political struggle. Available to cut without corrective measures, the Trojans, the security decrees, all the files of the many “never again”, “enough”, requests for “discontinuity” broken against the wall of a more solid ally in defense of its principles, while being in crisis and with half of the votes.

Today’s Democratic Party leadership is this, sealed by the Byzantine ruling of a “split vote”: one on the secretary’s report, complete with a statutory discussion on the “silent assent” mechanism (painful things), and another on the referendum agenda. A vote “regardless” of a speech – actually a novelty on the left – that allows us to say that a part of those who vote No, such as Cuperlo or Zanda, did not come out of the majority that supports the secretary. The essence of today’s news, therefore, is that, in essence, Zingaretti has not “militarized” the Yes and has come out of the grip while maintaining the internal structure, which these days is no small thing, considering the air of a Congress crawling. that expires within the party. The problem, much more complex, has to do with the larger history, the line, one would say once, the “how” to remain in the Government and in the alliance, at what price, the one who leads, who has the ambition to do it in the future and, with it, the country. Because the narrative that any compromise is necessary to stop fascism, even a government “regardless” of reality and what it doesn’t do, no longer holds. The emergency is different and greater than that of Salvini.
