The Democratic Party of Cosenza tries to find its identity again

A house in ruins, crumpled on itself, in search of its lost identity. The Democratic house, today, is a painful lump of rancor, an elsewhere without peace, a front perpetually in crisis, crumbling and corroded by the impetuous winds of the currents. The disoriented party tries to prepare for the city assembly. The meeting is announced for Tuesday, July 23, in the hall of the Crocifisso della Riforma, with two points on the agenda: the analysis of the vote and the return of the Festa dell’Unità. For this morning at 10, instead, the leaders of the party of Cosenza, the secretary of the Circle, Rose Caligiuriand the president of the city council, Gabriel Petronehave called a press conference to anticipate the topics that will be discussed by the members. A popular gathering to try to bring back to life that concept of rootedness in the territory that no longer exists, swept away by the destructuring phase of the Commissionership. The PD has lost the characteristics of its ancestor PCI, the old communist party that was by definition antagonistic, capable of uniting proletarian forces and fighting for the rights of the least. And, after all, the PCI was a party of proximity, it lived within every circle because every territorial section was a large family in which names or roles did not count but people lived proudly of belonging, of being “companions”. This was how the consensus that has now fallen to the bottom of the confidence indices was managed. The effects of an obscurantist phase that has had traumatic repercussions in political and electoral terms.
