At the Visionaria Urban Fest in Garbatella, during the roadshow for “L’impero del disordine” – the first issue (in its second incarnation) of the historic left-wing magazine – there was a meeting between the former prime minister and the driving force and pillar of the PD

With preparations in full swing for Schlein’s final rally in Reggio Emilia, the choice of the figure who will represent the broad coalition remains the hottest topic

The election in Saxony, the ‘black threat’, is uniting the left, which is gathering today on the stage at Avs in Rome. But within the opposition, analysis of the election results is dividing opinion, whilst the Movement’s close ties to Sahra Wagenknecht come to mind – ties that could now lend a hand to the AfD.

The former prime minister responds to a question from editor Cerasa and plays for time on the issue of military support for Kyiv: “I will respond with our shared programme and the primaries,” says the leader of the Five Star Movement

“On the left, they confuse history with spirit. To invoke a partisan as leader of the coalition and to feel nostalgia for those years is an incredible contradiction. The primaries? Without a plan, they are primaries in a vacuum,” says the vice-president of ANPI and former president of the Cervi Institute

Founded by the former secretary of the Italian Communist Party in Salerno in 1944, the magazine has become the intellectual wardrobe that dresses the former prime minister. From anti-woke tirades to strategies for the primaries (and thoughts on Russia), everything passes through it

On the left now, in order to avoid the ‘gazebos’, they are hoping that the new electoral law will not be passed: “Fontana, Romeo, Zaia and Fedriga will not give up the single-member constituencies”. Meanwhile, other suggestions for third-party candidates are emerging

The leader of the M5S has written a manifesto-style letter on ‘woke’ culture and the left. He is setting out his position ahead of the September primaries, with the evergreen ‘no’ to rearmament. Malpezzi: ‘Use it to talk about inequalities’. Sensi: ‘They jump on the debate of the moment and attack the PD’. Quartapelle: ‘Second thoughts on “woke”? I preferred the one on the Superbonus’.

The leader of the Five Star Movement, like the US congresswoman, says: “Woke culture has become a sort of self-referential moral religion, and for a progressive force it would be a serious political strategy error to rely on it to build effective political action.” The right strategy? Well, clearly disarmament

‘With these leaders…’ as Nanni Moretti used to say. It is this very thought that made Lavitola dream of Ranucci’s candidacy, but it is also the fear shared by a significant section of the centre-left. Mayors, outsiders, surprises: possible alternatives to the Schlein-Conte duopoly
