The images of the day are those of the Pd secretary Elly Schlein and the president of the Movimento 5 Stelle Giuseppe Conte who first embrace and then stand aside on stage, talking for a
long time, densely, hands covering their mouths, direct voice in the ear so that no one else hears.
Florence, Schlein: 'School is the first place of emancipation and anti-fascist culture'
The anti-fascist Florentine square, with the demonstration born after the attack on the students of the Michelangiolo high school, photographed a possible alliance.
The themes are school, public health, defense of the Constitution.
From there,
Schlein and Conte said in
that conversation, we can start working together, in Parliament and outside.
What is certain is that some knots remain.
Like that of sending arms to Ukraine.
The M5s is firm on the "no, stop".
While Schlein reiterated that the Democratic Party's "full support" for the Ukrainian people "has never been in question".
Even if you once again reminded yourself that "the left must continue to pursue a world of peace, a future of peace, and must ask the EU for diplomatic protagonism".
Florence, Giuseppe Conte: 'Dialogue with the new Pd summit is welcome'
Also in the procession were Nicola Fratoianni of the Italian Left, Angelo Bonelli of the Verdi, Roberto Speranza and Arturo Scotto of Articolo Uno
.
There was the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini,
who did a long stretch with Schlein and with the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella.
There were no leaders of the third pole.
A delegation with MEP Dario Danti and former minister Teresa Bellanova paraded for Iv.
Seen from the Florentine stage, therefore, the wide shot looks more to the left than to the centre.
"I am very happy that there is a large delegation from the Democratic Party here - Schlein said - that there is the M5s, that there are other civic forces and the ecological left. I think it is a good sign. On some fundamental battles, as we have always said, we have to work together."
Schlein's arrival seems to have reopened the dialogue that former secretary Enrico Letta had cooled down, accusing the 5 stars of having contributed to the fall of the government led by Mario Draghi.
"
If we are here with the secretary of the Democratic Party - said Conte - it means that we are here on concrete matches.
If this dialogue strengthens this horizon with the new top of the Democratic Party, then all of Italy is welcome". There are those who speak of a rivalry between two forces that now look a little more alike. it is the supremacy and leadership of the left". The Florentine square welcomed the new secretary with applause, cheers, selfies and intoning "Bella ciao".
Around her, a CGIL security cordon served to keep TV and microphones at bay.
Upon arrival in the city, Schlein was received in Palazzo Vecchio by Dario Nardella: at the congress, the mayor of Florence supported Sefano Bonaccini and is considered a candidate for roles in the party.
"It was just a greeting", he shielded himself.
Before arriving at the procession, Schlein spoke at length with Landini.
Under the stage, the meeting and embrace with Conte.
For him too, at the demonstration, applause, selfies, handshakes.
"We could only be here - Schlein said - because following that squad attack, the best response is exactly this, this extraordinary participation which is the real antidote to that indifference. The message of this square is clear:
those squadrist methods will not pass". And Conte: "The government officials have lost twice.
The first because they did not condemn" the attack, "in particular FdI, the party of reference for those responsible.
And then they made a mistake because Minister Valditara found minutes to censor the headmaster's flawless letter.
Which I subscribe to all.
This is not the time to let your guard down."
