The debate heats up P.S.. As expected, the democratic weekend promises to be full of obstacles. The first comes from 35 women who sent a letter to Elly Schlein inviting her not to stand in the next European elections.“Dear Elly, we are writing to you to offer you our reflection on a community Democratic Party that attracts more women to Europe.“, reads the letter, which explains that her possible candidacy in all Italian constituencies would be a “blade” for the women of the Democratic Party who aspire to a seat in the European Parliament in Brussels.
A topic that has been discussed for weeks, but that after this letter takes on greater significance. He feminists signatories of the document, despite not being certain that the idea of the candidacy has a real basis,“They cannot fail to highlight the multiple negative consequences that this hypothesis would have on the candidates and on the general image of the Democratic Party”. Democrats don’t like it “a choice that would seem to persecute the right-wing leadership of Giorgia Meloni” and that would be “in contrast to the feminist ethic of responsibility”, Given the Elly Schlein “would run”for a role that he will later not be able to really play.” There would therefore be a lack of “respect for the votes of the electors and for the dignity of the elective assemblies.”
Democratic feminists also consider changing the political conflict very seriously. “from the level of values and content to the reductionist level of a “pink” dispute that has nothing to do with our vision of society and Europe“. Finally, the letter addresses the issue of “concrete consequences for female candidates.” Taking into account the precedents ““It is a fact that the candidacy of the first secretary of the Democratic Party, especially if it is multiple, would determine the paradox of constituting a blade for the gender equality mechanism in elections, compressing the concrete possibility of our candidates being elected.”. According to the Democrats, it cannot be ““We run the risk of bringing fewer women to the European Parliament when there is a woman and a feminist woman at the head of the Democratic Party.”.
So here we go the final appeal Addressed to the Secretary of the Democratic Party: “Elly, you already represent the public reference of the Democratic Party and your undoubted electoral appeal can be used generously and to a greater extent by supporting the candidacies of women and men who represent the territories in electoral dispute.”
