Poor writing makes for bad narration
The assumption of the narrator is that we all understand that Silvio is bad, so when he’s succeeding it’s bad and when he’s seeing setbacks it’s his rightful comeuppance. Yes, we understand from the description that he’s supposed to be the bad guy, but you take way too long to explain why he’s bad and not just an aggressive politician (most are power hungry, obv). You can’t just tell the audience what to think about characters. You have to show them and let them come to the obvious conclusions. That’s basic storytelling. Eventually they get to it, but it’s way too much “oh, no, the bad guy’s winning” before you’ve demonstrated why the audience is supposed care.

Ugh, get to the point. Too wordy and too many long ads that are just rambling.
