Pure Occhetto slaps the Democratic Party: “Tired of governmentism. Nasty party, in danger of dying”

“It makes no sense to hold a congress to decide whether to stay with Conte or Calenda. The Democratic Party must understand how to stay with itself and with Italian society. Otherwise, he dies.” Speaking about the party led by Enrico Letta in an interview with Repubblica is Achille Occhetto, first secretary of the Left Democratic Party: “I have always said that one of the flaws of the Virada, in 1989, was that attention was focused on the PCI, when, instead of In addition, I argued that the content of the new party should be defined first, nomina sunt continuousia rerum. So the Democratic Party must first understand what it wants to do, who it intends to represent. What is its identity? It no longer knows. define it as a radical mass party, which separated the values ​​of civil and social rights. But for the former, simple declarations are enough, for the latter, on the other hand, it is necessary to roll up our sleeves every day in social practice. that didn’t happen”.

According to Occhetto, the Democratic Party has become unpleasant: “There is no doubt – he underlines -. The balance between reason and feeling, the reason for responsibility and feeling in relation to strong passions has jumped. Governmentalism was his real disease. I told everyone who asked me to vote for the center left, including Bonino or Fratoianni, because the opponent was the right. I never took the Democratic Party card, and I was the first to talk about cold fusion between DS and Margherita. But on Sunday I voted for Pd. Read I believe he has no more flaws than many others. The broad field failed within the Democratic Party, because one party was in favor of Calenda and the other was looking towards the M5S.”

What future does the left have? Occhetto traces the path: “Dissolution has already been discussed, but I would translate this proposal into a positive one with the launch of a broad Constituent. It could have two results, the birth of a new political formation or an alliance between different subjects, but aware that we must march together. The right is not the majority in the country, but it will govern. M5S has made some proposals from the left, although it has not declared itself for a long time, the Democratic Party does not make them and calls itself the left. The truth is that everyone has their reasons, from the Third Pole to the Democratic Party, from M5S to red and green, but they are just clips. It would be necessary – concludes the ex-communist – an examination of conscience, because everyone lost against the right”.
