Elly Schlein's revolution starts from the new team and from the people of the primaries, the one that allowed her to win despite the vote of the clubs having been in favor of the opponent, Stefano Bonaccini.
An unprecedented in the history of the Democratic Party.
The challenge, now that you are secretary, is to keep the party together.
To do this you need broad shoulders and maybe an iron stomach.
And the support of the majority of the members would help a lot.
Here, as a first move, Schlein announced that she will reopen the membership, to ensure that those who have chosen her in the gazebo "become part of this community".
Pd, Schlein: 'Keep the party together, organize opposition and new method'
The first day as a secretary was marked by meetings with the staff and phone calls.
Schlein first had a cordial conversation with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, then she received a call from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who later explained that she expected a "very tough opposition" from the new Pd.
Times and rhythms will be tight, also because there is an agenda to be organized which up until recent days had more of a wish than a prospect.
"It's The Day After," one of her joked, quoting the film about the effects of nuclear war.
And there are many things to record.
"Keeping the community together is key," Schlein said.
Then the warning: "But without giving up a clear political line".
Because sometimes her ears are ringed when those who supported Bonaccini spoke.
"Many - said Senator Alessandro Alfieri - are concerned by the dynamics that can trigger the outcome of the vote, if not managed".
And Senator Enrico Borghi: "The novelties of a diversified vote between members and voters and of a change of political line require sensitivity and intelligence to keep us united".
The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, had threatened to quit if Schlein won.
Now that it has happened "I see all the potential aspects - he said - but certainly there are also risks".

To those who froze, Schlein launched conciliatory messages: "We work for the relaunch, for maximum unity, to take care of the history and values of the Democratic Party, to project them into the future, keeping together the cultures that have forged this party" .
Schlein took possession of the Nazarene in the afternoon, in a handover with Enrico Letta, who gave her a pomegranate, "a symbol of prosperity and good fortune".
In the headquarters of the Democratic Party, a glance from the terrace already gave the sensation of a change of tenants.
As Pd secretary, Schlein has often repeated: "I will free up space so that young people and women can take it".
The names for the new team start from those who supported Schlein during the congress: we speak of the deputy Marco Furfaro as deputy secretary or as coordinator of the secretariat,
of the deputy Marco Sarracino for the organization, of the deputy Alessandro Zan with for the delegation of rights, of the former mayor of Crema Stefania Bonaldi for that of the territories.
Then there is the group leader chapter: the name of Francesco Boccia circulates for the Senate and those of Chiara Braga, Chiara Gribaudo or Michela Di Biase are made for the Chamber.
Debora Serracchiani, who leads the deputies, has already said she is ready to place the mandate at the disposal of the new secretary.
However, the choice depends on the vote of the parliamentarians.
After the stop at the Nazareno, where you also met the president of the Congress Commission, Silvia Roggiani, for Schlein there was a succession of meetings, to take stock of the issues and lay the foundations for the commitments for the next few days.
The official entrance to the leadership of the party will be on March 12:
the proclamation in the assembly will put the stamp on the vote in the gazebo.
The final official figures are: Schlein at 53.75% and Bonaccini at 46.25%.
The turnout was 1.1 million voters.
