What's the point of being the first party and touching 29% like the Pd if you then lose the elections in Liguria why did you refuse the vote of the centrists of Italia Viva by Matteo Renzi? Elizabeth Gualmini, former political scientist at the Cattaneo Institute in Bologna and now MEP for the Democratic Party, doesn't mince words and, in an interview with "The paper“, he plunges the knife into the wound. “The vetoes of Tale on Renzi they penalized us because Italia Viva's votes could have made him win Orlando and this is not acceptable especially when the result is in the balance". But from Liguria Gualmini raises her gaze to the national scenario and maintains: "If we want to find an alternative to the government Meloni we all have to get together, even with M5S and reformists, because it's the only way to win", The MEP, hoping that the era of rancor and personal antipathies will end on the left, is confident but also sends a signal to Elly Schlein: “Now the secretary is in a position to give the line and not to suffer it. We can no longer allow ourselves to chase the M5S”. It is impossible not to agree with Gualmini, especially after Schlein said: “We in the PD have given our all but we are aware that alone we are not enough”. To win, alliances without vetoes towards the center are needed. That is, a stable center-left coalition is needed. Schlein knows this, but it is not enough to say it: he must assert his leadership in practice also on the Five Stars. Gualmini did well to remind him of this.
Liguria Elections, Gualmini (Pd): “The M5S has evaporated and excluding Renzi was and is pure madness”
The political scientist and MEP of the Democratic Party, Elisabetta Gualmini, does not mince her words to her party after the elections in Liguria: "Enough chasing the M5S. Conte's vetoes on Renzi have penalized us and this is no longer acceptable"
