Letizia Moratti on the Pd crisis. The candidate for the presidency of the Lombardy region analyzes the rift dem. And in the December 3 episode of “In Onda” he analyzes the situation at Enrico Letta’s party. «My contacts with the center-left and with Letta in particular date back to this summer – said Letizia Moratti – I proposed to the left to measure us on the content, but I received no response. That’s why I still maintain an open dialogue with the Democratic Party. There are two souls inside him and I think he has to choose. Pd split in my candidacy? The Democratic Party is already split between reformers and those pushing to the left. The Democratic Party has a basic problem that it must solve and I hope it will because we need a strong Democratic Party in this country.”
Then Moratti announces his political strategy: «I represent the downtown area and if the Democratic Party can have a chance of winning it is only by seeking an alliance with the center – concludes Moratti – That is why I made my proposal to the Democratic Party, but I did not withdraw my candidacy because the center is the expression of the class that takes Lombardy forward and this is not found in Majorino’s proposal which is very squeezed to the left. I interpret it as a division that currently exists in the Democratic Party. We must not be afraid of being contaminated to find points of convergence with different positions».
