Massimo D’Alema returned to attack Matteo Renzi. This time it does so in clear, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, after the controversy that arose around a backstage Republic denied by the former premier. But D’Alema confirmed many concepts emerged in the background: the opposition for the management of the Democratic Party by Renzi, criticism towards the party leaders who do not listen and do not talk, the No vote in the referendum on reforms to be held in October. All this in the aftermath of the very negative local elections for the Democratic Party in many cities, in some of which the “defeat assumes dimensions of a disaster”, as in Rome.
” It serves a figure that deals with the Democratic party full time. it serves a collective leadership. the party was deliberately left without guidance. he is thought not important or you download on it to blame when the elections go wrong. it’s all focused on leader and his entourage, even co-workers. Renzi not convene the secretariat, who also is a totally homogeneous body. it meets only with a group of his friends “[...]” He never followed a direction of the Democratic party? These are moments of propaganda. the head is long speeches, followed by brief statements of dissent; then they talk about fifty people who insult those who disagree. there is not listening, there is no comparison. there is no possibility to find convergences and agreements ” .
According to D’Alema, Renzi has lost harmony “with the base and with the country.”
“A very large part of the left electorate does not recognize itself in the Democratic Party, I do not feel as their own, does not mobilize. I campaigned, where I have called. I also found someone who said: you must not disturb Renzi, but also many with a feeling of aversion. he is not limited to scrap a leadership team; is scrapped several million voters. ” [...] “In the ballots it was voted in 126 municipalities out of 8,000. Our candidates – I will not say the party, candidates, including civic lists – compared to the previous municipal lost a million
D’Alema examines the win in Milan Beppe room and recognizes great about Giuliano Pisapia who “fought like a lion to cover it left.” Says he is very sorry for Piero Fassino, defeated in Turin, “did not deserve this defeat. It did not deserve to be told, after having supported Renzi in every way – too much, as ANC president – we lost because we had old faces . “
What to do, now.
” Renzi should change. This result calls into question the relationship between the Democratic Party, its electorate and the Italian company, is the government’s policy. It calls into question the manner in which Renzi exercising both roles. Deserves for his part very different from those reflections, disconcerting, who entrusted to the Courier the night of the vote, “[...]” Renzi, of course, is convinced that the Italian Blair. But Blair surrounded himself with the best of his party, not of a small group of loyalists. Blair took the main opponent, Gordon Brown, and made him Chancellor of the Exchequer. Wanted ministers Robin Cook and Jack Straw, historical figures of the Labour Party. But Blair was smart: he understood he had to put together traditional forces with new forces can attract. If it hunt to attract 5 10, as is being done, the balance is less than 5. “[...]” Hope is the last to die, but I do not think a person oriented to take account of others and even the reality; even those closest, since we lost in Sesto Fiorentino. Yet it would require a change of address in government, and even a change of style. Including the respect that should be due to a ruling class that has won the elections and has done important things for the country: the euro, the great privatization, uninominal majority electoral law; not that stuff that is proposed to us now. “
D’Alema will vote against the constitutional reforms.
” I will vote no “[ ...] “They are not very different from those for which I voted no, in 2006, the Berlusconi reform. Which in some ways it was better done. Even that foresaw the overcoming of perfect bicameralism and the reduction of parliamentarians. But also it reduced the deputies. It established the direct election of senators; He did not make the Senate a working men’s club. It would be better to abolish it. “
No even against dell’Italicum.
” I think it’s unconstitutional. I do not have a constitutional court, but the court’s ruling raised two issues: the right of citizens to choose their own representative; and the distorting character of the majority of the premium, it is too big. The dell’Italicum answer is very partial and disappointing. The ultramaggioritari systems work when the poles are two. But when they are three, or four, because no one can rule out that the birth of a pole to the left of Renzi, a runoff becomes a roulette in which a force in the first round took 25% is left with an absolute majority of parliamentarians; moreover selected by the head. We need a thorough rethinking of this system. “
According to D’Alema if he won the No there would be a crisis of the system.
“I have never claimed that Renzi should resign. Of course, if he insisted, it should be a new government, as would a new electoral law: voting for the Chamber with a ultramaggioritario system and for the Senate on a proportionate would be pure madness “[...]” It was a serious mistake customize key plebiscite referendum, which should be a pronouncement of citizens free from any blackmail. Build a campaign on fear can generate a counter-productive effect, exacerbating the already evident irritation of voters. I would invite Renzi to say that remains; just as after the defeat to administrative. “
There will be a split in the Democratic Party?
” It is a problem to be posed to others . I do not have the age to found new parties, but I just have the energy to do political struggle. And that I can not be prevented by anyone. “
Finally, D’Alema back on the controversy against him, also triggered by one of his former loyalists, Matthew Orfini.
“I’m ready to self: let’s say that I brought up bad … For years the Democratic Party does not ask me anything, and suddenly learn from the newspapers that I should make an appeal to eve of the vote for a cause obviously desperate. And even we rediscover that they are a ‘founder of the Democratic Party “[...]” Apart from the journalistic concerted ambushes among some leaders of my party and the press girlfriend, there had never been a pressure on the media as well as annoying information the one who exercises this government. Even at times of Berlusconi. Now feed on the network a campaign on older who want reimpadronirsi party …. I will not get hold of anything, you have to be crazy to go and how to handle the PD have reduced. “
