Democratic Party reformists: Gentiloni crosses the Rubicon, and Bonaccini pays for his subservience to Schlein. After the regional elections, the showdown.

The former prime minister and former Eurocommissioner Paolo Gentiloni He's a man accustomed to measuring his words. It's no coincidence that his friends call him "Paolo the Calm" for his traditional calmness. But in recent days, despite the proximity of the regional elections, Gentiloni hasn't been too subtle and has openly criticized the opposition. Pd Schlein trend in the lead, arguing that "they are not ready to govern" and that, on the contrary, prudence on public accounts Meloni and Giorgetti It must be recognized. It is a sign that Gentiloni has no intention of retreating to the tent and that, crossing the Rubicon, he intends to enter the field. Not to take the place of the Elly Schlein at the helm of the Democratic Party, which does not interest him, but making himself available to take on any institutional roles if circumstances allow it when the time comes: Palazzo Chigi or QuirinalIt's too early to say. But what can be said for now is that Gentiloni is effectively becoming the beacon of reformists of the Democratic Party as the star of goes out Stefano Bonaccini, who no longer has the trust of a good part of the reformists – from Guerini to Decaro, from Picierno to Quartapelle, from Gori to Delrio and many others – due to his alignment with the movement line of Schlein which has unbalanced the party to the left by chasing the Five Stars of Giuseppe Conte and leaving open spaces in the center. It was time for something to move within the leading party of the left, as the former president of the Democratic Party senators has been hoping for for many months. Louis Zanda: A debate that's up to the task is in the interest not of just one political faction but of democracy as a whole. How it all ends will also depend on the results of the regional elections. Courage, Gentiloni, go ahead.
