Listening to the rumors coming from those who are preparing the electoral lists for 25 September, there are strong chances that the Pd candidates for the Senate in Milan Susanna Camusso, former general secretary of the CGIL, always in the front row against every leap of reformism, decidedly anti-Draghi and even very skeptical about the Green pass. But how do you nominate what according to many was the absolute worst general secretary of a union that had the honor of being led by people like Joseph DiVittorio, Luciano Lama, Bruno Trentino just to name the most famous? If this isn't a boomerang what else is it?
Some say that by making an alliance with Carlo calenda ed Emma Bonino, the Pd needs to cover itself on the left with Camusso and those who, more maliciously, think that the candidacy of the former trade unionist is worth testing Calenda's nerves, already not very strong, forcing him to break the alliance with the Pd or to swallow the toad.
Camusso, "champion of the rearguard guerrilla against reformism"
Be that as it may, the Camusso's candidacy it is not only an insult to reformism but to pure common sense. But how do you ask for the vote of the voters of a party like the Democratic Party, which would like to register the Draghi agenda, for one who has always seen the outgoing prime minister as smoke and mirrors and who, as Il Foglio wrote, has stubbornly waged "a constant rearguard guerrilla war against any reformist project" and who, in order not to miss anything, has even stroked the ambiguous anti-Greenpass populism? There is a limit to the taste of horrid.
Populism, demagoguery, maximalism and hatred for reformism: these are the ingredients that characterize Camusso's political-union profile and that obscure the image of the Democratic Party. But then one wonders: for the party of Read Is it really the case to rely on a candidate like this? And what's more, in Milan, once the cradle of progressive reformism? By insisting on Camusso a greater gift, the Pd could not really do it Matteo Renzi, who will not lose a second to highlight the confusion of ideas that reigns in the Nazarene.
