Long day today for the Democratic Party.
The management convened by Enrico Letta has only two items on the agenda: analysis of the vote and discussion on the start of the congress process.
But these are topics that can take the debate far.
For example, the first issue is already appearing: for the choice of the new secretary, primary yes or primary no?
So much so that Senator Enrico Borghi, from the Pd secretariat, warned: "Times are not a variable" the direction "must not be and will not be a hitch, a postponement and a rebound".
While the Apulian governor Michele Emiliano asked that it not turn into "a trial of the managers".
The meeting - which will be broadcast on social channels - should be an opportunity for the secretary to set the date of the meeting,
first step of the congress, with the stages and durations.
Everything will depend on the progress of the confrontation.
It is not just a matter of hours needed to dissect the positions - it will be a "vent", joked a parliamentarian - there is also the possibility that there are areas of the party that prefer a more articulated path, without disdaining the possibility of having more time to better organize the strategy.
Alessandro Alfieri, coordinator of the Pd current of the former Renzians of the Reformist Base, addressed them, who looks favorably on Stefano Bonaccini's candidacy: "Let's put aside delaying tactics, perhaps disguised as noble intentions to deepen and reflect".
Some topics that will cause discussion have already surfaced.
Like that of the primary.
Pd deputy secretary Peppe Provenzano (who ruled out his candidacy) spoke about it to La Stampa: "You won't be able to participate with a day in the gazebos."
As an interested observer, as an exponent of Article One (a force that seems destined for a convergent path to that of the Pd) Pier Luigi Bersani instead asked to cancel them, raising the protests of more than one Pd exponent: "Hands off the primaries ", wrote the senator of the Democratic Party Dario Parrini.
And Alfieri: they are "the instrument through which we founded the Democratic Party".
The senator Francesco Boccia, of the dem secretariat, also defends them.
Secretary Letta has already indicated them as the apex of a journey made up of four stages: the "call" to "those who want to participate in this constituent mission".
Then "the knots",
for a debate on the issues to be resolved, including name, symbol, alliances, organization.
After the "confrontation" on the candidacies.
Finally: the "primary".
To define the climate on the eve, a big party of the party used the images "of the move to the Palio of Siena or of the melina in football", with everyone - especially the leaders - looking at each other waiting to understand who will take the first step and which Sara.
In short, for now there is no air of agreement.
Nor does it seem close to an overview of the positions to be assigned next week, when there will be the first session of the new Parliament.
One hypothesis that has been circulating is to take time by confirming Debora Serracchiani group leader in the Chamber and Simona Malpezzi group leader in the Senate.
"It's a'
option - explained a member of the Democratic Party - but the more time passes, the more he loses consensus ". Even for the other offices - such as the vice presidents of the Chamber and Senate - voices give outgoing ministers or in any case leading exponents of the party in pole position. are rejected by those who would like to give a sign of novelty. And then there is the question of female representation: "In the next few days we will participate in decisive institutional steps for the definition of the opposition profile - wrote the executive of the National Conference on Facebook of the women of the Democratic Party - the election of the presidencies of the groups and of the Chamber and Senate.
Let's say right now that we will not support proposals that are not equal ".
