The opposition to the Meloni government is weak. Word of Alessandro De Angelis, deputy director of the Huffington Post. Guest of the pre-evening talk on La7 “Otto e Mezzo”, Friday 26 May, the journalist scratched Elly Schlein and the PD both for the deafening silence on the flood in Emilia-Romagna and for the mild protests on the election – judged inopportune and unsatisfactory – by Chiara Colosimo to the presidency of the Anti-Mafia Commission. “In Emilia-Romagna, Schlein showed up on the ninth day on a walk through remote fields… I say this with pain because I would like a deep-rooted, strong, combative PD, but her absence is a metaphor for a line that has no effect today” he said said De Angelis before delivering the coup de grace: “There is a lot of agitation over slogans, from immigration to Pnrr, but when you get to the point, it’s nothing”.
The presenter Lilli Gruber nodded: “We often say here that we are faced with a lackluster opposition”. Then De Angelis reserved another sting for the impalpable dem: “But why do they always have to leave the chamber on parliamentary passages?! If Colosimo doesn’t go well, and indeed it doesn’t go well, couldn’t they try to limit the damage by electing Rita Dalla Chiesa? Can’t we play a little political game? Must one always and only leave the Chamber?!”.
