2023 Democratic Party (Italy) leadership election

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Democratic_Party_(Italy)_leadership_election

 

Of course I'd like Elly Schlein to be the winner....Intelligent individual, she knows how to re-form the party ( which swung too  much on the centre-right in the last years, even though it's supposed to be the main Italian Left party....)....Some of the things told about her are: "She's too much on the left" Which is of course something stupid to say of someone aiming to become Chief of a ( supposedly) left-wing party......

 

 

I know that Stefano Bonaccini will win....He's way more relaxed in his political stance ( less left-wing)....

 

 

Ok  whatever...I already got disenchanted about all this stage called Politics after an extreme right-wing party coalition won the election ( most extreme party of the three being the one which got the most votes and expressed consequently our current prime minister, Giorgia Meloni)

 

 

Tomorrow I'll learn that new Italian Dem Party chief is status quo man mr.Bonaccini........Life goes on.......As before......

Shipwreck: Mattarella pays respects before victims' coffins

Head of State also visits survivors in hospital

Redazione ANSA ROME

It was heart breaking to see all those coffins ( many still un-named) lined up inside the sport arena in Crotone ( about 14 of children) and hearing the continuous cries, shouts of relatives who came from Germany, Holland, other countries.........
 
This is a further  shame for this country of mine, incapable of saving  these many, too many lives......
