Comment(by burcin):

 `_parent` is a cdef'd attribute. At the point this code is used, Cython
 doesn't know that `right` is an `Element`, so it generates code to look
 for a python attribute `_parent` which fails.

 One solution would be to use a type cast by writing
 `(<Element>right)._parent`, but we'd have to handle python types like
 `int` manually before this. The function `parent()`, which in turn calls
 `sage.structure.parent.parent_c` is used exactly for this purpose.

 Calling parent_c directly would be faster, but that is not exported in
 `sage/structure/parent.pxd`.
