The show did the usual Vincenzo De Luca. Based on insults. To comfort those in the Democratic Party who were fewer than the centre-right who crowded the same Piazza del Popolo on Thursday, he said: “Yesterday there was a strange event in this square, half psychedelic and half Burina festival.” . And again: “A political example was raised on the prairies of Padane; a fresh 86-year-old groom, a bit tired, barzotto. Then a figure of First Communion dressed in white appeared, holding a lily, an enchanting image. But it was enough that he started speaking for the spell to go away and Sora Cecioni, Sora Gina, appeared“. A gag that might have caused some laughs. Especially when De Luca took it out on Letta himself: “We don’t offer a sizzling and pyrotechnic secretary … well, he doesn’t have that”.
For the rest, gloom and resignation, while on stage the representatives of the Democratic Party take turns repeating (each with two minutes available) the tired clichés that accompanied this election campaign.
Michele Emiliano: The right cannot see the anti-fascist constitution because it remembers where it came from. Simona Malpezzi: The right wants to drive women home. Alessandro Zan: Everyone on the right has three families, why do we still talk about families? Cecilia D’Elia: Let’s vote for all colors of love. Loirenzo Guerini: Meloni looks to Hungary. Dario Franceschini: Meloni will never take to the streets on April 25th. Zero politics, zero suggestions.
Then Bella plays Ciao. Notes so obvious that the place does not heat up. Then comes Andrea Orlando. However, the labor minister is talking about abortion: women don’t have to listen to the fetus being beaten like in Hungary. A crescendo that Elly Schlein fits into: I’m a woman, I love another woman, I’m not a mother, but that doesn’t make me any less of a woman. But is it a Pride or a Democratic Party rally? And Roberto Speranza cannot be missing and restarts the vaccination campaign.
Finally Enrico Letta, introduced by the notes of Life is life. Life is life. Very original. The square marks: En-ri-co En-ri-co. And he reminds of Berlinguer. Applause. So he sums up a little bit of all the tweets he’s posted this campaign. The tiger eyes and the “long live the deviations” are missing. Too bad, they were true masterpieces.
