Landini, the anti-Jobs Act referendums and the dream of leading the Pd-M5S axis for an alternative which without the center will remain a chimera

The referendums launched by the CGIL have nothing trade union-related but are the antechamber of a political project that Landini hopes to crown with his leadership of the M5S-Pd axis on a maximalist and populist platform which is completely unlikely to represent a real government alternative to the right

Landini, the anti-Jobs Act referendums and the dream of leading the Pd-M5S axis for an alternative which without the center will remain a chimera

It is certainly coincidental that the CGIL by Maurizio Landini has announced its intention to collect signatures for 4 referendum, including primarily the one against the Jobs Act, in the aftermath of Sardinian elections won by a handful of votes by the candidate of Five stars with the support of Pd. Random but up to a certain point, because the logical connection between the two facts is more than evident. The referendums promoted by the CGIL do not have a trade union but political value and are probably the springboard for the ambitions of Landini, who in two years by statute will have to leave the secretariat of the CGIL, to become the leader of theM5S-Pd axis. Moreover, to some disappointment of the Democratic Party, Landini has had no qualms in recent days about embracing Giuseppe Conte, with whom he has long been in political harmony as with Elly Schlein but certainly not with the reformists of the Democratic Party. You don't need to be a prophet to imagine that a possible Landini leadership of the M5S-Pd axis would take place on a maximalist and populist platform, melenchon or to Corbyn to be clear, like the one that has always inspired his trade union action made up of a lot of mobilization but very few concrete results. But here is the connection between the ambitions of the secretary of the CGIL and the Sardinian vote which, as expected, galvanized the wing in the Democratic Party that has always dreamed of embracing the Five Star Movement and closing itself off to the liberal democratic forces of the centre. From these premises, a left-wing coalition can certainly be born that promises the sun of the future but the numbers show that the alternative to the right remains a chimera because the conquest of 51% of voters without the center is a pure illusion. The numbers say it, with all due respect to Landini, Conte and Schlein.
