It is not surprising that the far right of the League of Matteo Salvini oppose everything he knows about Europe need competition, despite the Yes votes pronounced at the time under the Draghi Government, but that is the Democratic Party's trend Schlein to oppose the liberalization of electricity with the overcoming of the so-called protected market it cries out for revenge in terms of merit and method. On the merits because there is no competition in electricity as in other fields, contrary to what the secretary of the PD, a gift to companies but it is the opening of a market through which to lower prices for consumers and improve the quality of service. Once upon a time, competition - from the fight against monopolies onwards - was a flag of the PCI first and then of its heirs - and it is not clear why the left must now lower it, dangerously approaching Salvini's theses, if not for purely electoral and populist reasons. Even more so in the liberalization of electricity belatedly initiated by Meloni government there are social safeguard measures for the weaker sections of the population, both for the over 65s and for those with low ISEEs, as Valentina Nubola wrote with great clarity on FIRSTonline of 29 last October.
But the opposition of the Democratic Party to the liberalization of electricity (with the courageous exception of the former deputy minister for European Affairs, Enzo Amendola and a few others) gives rise to a disturbing doubt and that is whether for the Elly Schlein It's more important to take to the streets than to win. Regardless of possible technical extensions of a few months, the European Commission has clearly told Italy that the liberalizations are an indispensable "milestone" of the program that underlies the disbursements granted by Brussels in the Next Generation Eu of which our The country has already grossed billions. Even a child understands that the battle is over but, if that's the case, why lose face to get a few votes? This is a job that suits Salvini or Giuseppe Conte. Why pursue them on the terrain of cheap populism? Schlein down from the tower.
