The controversy over the inflated cards is back.

The definitive outcome of the vote of the members of the Democratic Party, expected this weekend, brings back the tensions between the candidates who will compete in the primaries on February 26: Stefano Bonaccini and Elly Schlein.

Campania remains the main battlefield, with appeals and accusations.

"I thought that the battle against arrogant, ambiguous and even claimed ways of doing things could be for everyone - said the spokesman for the Schlein motion, deputy Marco Furfaro - I'm sorry that Bonaccini and Picierno have nothing to say".

The reference is to the anomalies in the membership in the province of Caserta which, in recent days, have also been at the center of an intervention by the coordinator of the Schlein motion, Senator Francesco Boccia, against the president of the regional council Gennaro Oliviero, close to Bonaccini: " With brazenness - attacked Boccia - he also turned to the Tar, admitting that he was the organizer of the members blocked by the guarantee bodies".

For Bonaccini's committee, Andrea De Maria, who is part of the national commission of the party in charge of supervising, replied: "We intervened with great determination on anomalous situations on membership, moreover specific and circumscribed - he explained - On precise indications" by Bonaccini " I have always supported maximum rigor. I'm sorry that we want to continue a controversy on this point. Let's defend the good name of the Democratic Party together".

Against Boccia's words, 22 mayors and three provincial councilors took sides in the Caserta area, supporters of the Bonaccini motion, who accused the senator of "offending an entire democratic community".

While the teams battled over the cards,

the two candidates returned to the controversy that arose from the words of Bonaccini, who in recent days has defined Giorgia Meloni as "capable"

.

"I said that the citizens defined her as capable by voting for her - clarified the president of Emilia Romagna - but I say that her government is not doing well. She brought her party from 3 to 30% but the voters, not me. There are those on the left who have preferred to beat the right on talk shows, I prefer to win at the polls".

Schlein marked the distance: "Our political judgment is extremely negative towards this government

- he said - Many broken promises and this turnaround" on the superbonus "which I believe also reveals to many people who voted for the right that they are very unreliable" .

The leader of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, is also critical, "for now ours is a negative judgment: due to the confrontation that has not been opened with the union and due to the choices that have been made".

The challenge of the primaries seems defined: the match on the 26th will be between Bonaccini and Schlein.

Therefore, Gianni Cuperlo and Paola De Micheli remain

out

.

Until Sunday, however, the vote continues in the circles of Lazio and Lombardy.

"I ask you for a useful vote for the aftermath - Cuperlo said in a video appeal - We have never accepted the idea that everything could be resolved in a derby for the primacy and that in the end someone or someone could lift the cup and say: we won and now the party is ours".

Instead, he postpones registration to vote online in the primaries by a few days – until the 22nd for non-residents – for voters who cannot go to the gazebos.
