Elections, the Democratic Party below 20%: the showdown begins for Letta

With just close to 19% , the Democratic Party stands as the second political force in Italy but clearly behind the 26% of Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy . And above all, it does not exceed the 20% threshold necessary for Enrico Letta to be able to safely confirm his secretariat.

A "psychological" threshold calibrated not so much on expectations and polls, as on the comparison with Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party who, in 2018, took 18.7% in the Chamber. That time it was Leu who gnawed votes at the Democratic Party but this time a part of Leu (ie Article One by Roberto Speranza) returned to the base.

For the Democrats it was a night of passion while the numbers, immediately not very comforting to tell the truth, continued to confirm the dem decline . Some parliamentarians wandering around the press room, the secretary Enrico Letta in his office, to follow the counting together with various members of the secretariat, such as Enrico Borghi, and the group leaders, Debora Serracchiani and Simona Malpezzi. But the air was very different from those of the last administrative, when the Democratic Party took home the victory. Hope resisted until the end .

Now a moment of truth is planned shortly: by statute, there will be a congress in March and, given the timing of the organizational machine, work will actually begin at the end of the year. Unless the vote leads to accelerations. The scenarios and hypotheses are wasted: the one who sees Letta as the “ferryman”, waiting to deliver the secretariat to the governor of Emilia Romagna Stefano Bonaccini or to his vice president Elly Schlein , takes on a share. The deputy secretary of the Democratic Party, Beppe Provenzano , also kicks.

The debate on alliances will also reopen, especially the one with the 5s. "We strongly wanted to broaden the alternative front to the right - recalled Francesco Boccia, Eni local manager of the Democratic Party - Then, with the start of the electoral campaign, the confrontation" with the Movement "that will continue to move forward in the territories was broken. another season will open after we understand what the numbers are. In the south the League is no more, I think that in the southern regions the results can confirm that a certain type of alliance is still a large majority ".
