What is there to say whilst Schlein remains silent? In the meantime, whether on social media or in person, others are stepping in – the many who have declared themselves willing to stand in the primaries, despite the silence of Majorino, who seemed to be Schlein’s ideal candidate. Meanwhile, the young, far-left Pacini is preparing for the release of his book: "Una cosa di sinistra"

The party’s former secretary and MP argues that “we need a force capable of making a real impact in a new centre-left government. And Onorato? He’s a civic candidate; we’re bloody politicians”. Meanwhile, Magi’s supporters are warning President Hallissey: “Don’t call a party congress.” Appeals are ready, but Della Vedova says: “I hope they abandon this course of action. The judiciary cannot halt a party’s democratic process on the basis of an overly restrictive interpretation of the party constitution.”

The Deputy Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and member of the Azzurri: “In Campania we risk doing ourselves harm; let’s put our differences on hold. In the cities we’re wasting time choosing candidates; enough of these idle chats over dinner at La Russa’s. Me in Sicily? I’m always available.”

The myth of the new ‘Ventennio’. It would be far more interesting to understand why it was the political right that managed to unify a country – divided by a civil, cultural and institutional delegitimisation that proved so hard to overcome – and integrate it into the new normal.

Despair, loneliness and the feeling that ‘we can’t cope’ lie outside this scope – a scope of attention and resolve. Often, this is also due to the misguided prejudice of those who believe that, in the decision to take one’s own life, that feeling of ‘we can’t cope’ has nothing to do with it.

The Prime Minister is bringing the party together in Puglia to mark 1,413 days at Palazzo Chigi. First, speeches by Deputy Prime Ministers Salvini and Tajani via video link, followed by her own. The Prime Minister also speaks about the electoral law: “It will prevent sudden reversals and backroom manoeuvring, as the PD would like"

In his message marking the opening of the Cernobbio forum, the President of the Republic warns against the “worrying trend towards a return to power politics”, and identifies EU cooperation as the alternative

The former secretary and party president, Matteo Hallissey, secured the approval of the party assembly for a motion calling for a new party congress, which they announced would take place in early December (4th, 5th and 6th). The secretary and his supporters consider the move unlawful: “It is a vote of no confidence in the secretary without the two-thirds majority required by the party constitution to remove him.” They have announced they will appeal. Behind the clash lie three different strategies for the elections: those who want to go it alone, those who want to align with Renzi, and those who want to align with Calenda.
