“The era of personality and internal conflict is over”, which, according to the main purpose of “building an alternative to the right” in the Democratic Party, is nothing more than “wasted energy”. After participating in the anti-fascist demonstration in Florence yesterday, Elly Schlein used the stage of Che tempo che fa to explain her vision for the Democratic Party, of which she was elected secretary today with her primary victory. Speaking to Fabio Fazio, Schlein immediately underlined that with his rival Stefano Bonaccini “we want to show our desire to work together to preserve pluralism, to keep communities together, but without giving up any clear direction”, and that we “absolutely” exclude the risk of division.
The secretary who started the online membership retraced the stages of her ascent to the secretariat, reiterating the key points of her program inside and outside the party: “I want to reunite the spirit of the left” and therefore the fight against inequalities, decent wages, health and public education. “We are close to the Italy of people struggling to move forward,” he assured. But it also added “to those of struggling small and medium businesses.” And going even further: “It’s good to have profit makers, but we’re interested in redistributing them well later on”.
“We have already voted this in Parliament, we have to support the Ukrainian people in a murderous invasion, this was never questioned,” he recalled, speaking of weapons in Ukraine, but “no one can be left without ambition.” Build a peaceful future.” “Conflicts cannot be resolved with weapons alone, I want a strong political and diplomatic leadership of the EU, I want a strong role because Putin is not isolated, there are many countries that support him. Putting more pressure to lay the groundwork that could lead to an end to this conflict.”
Schlein later criticized differentiated autonomy. “Unfortunately, there are many open fronts with this government,” he said, accusing the majority of “bypassing Parliament” the reform.
Interior Minister Piantedosi is also criticized for saying that immigrants who died at sea “should not have left”. “A very serious and deep wound, the minister blamed those who left instead of asking what the European and Italian institutions should do to prevent such massacres from happening again. He should answer him: What is the alternative to these massacres? and the lack of legal and safe ways to enter Europe for those fleeing torture and who have the right to seek international protection in our countries.
As for alliances, Schlein said he was convinced he could find rapprochements with Carlo Calenda, leader of both 5 Stars and Action: “I’ve heard of them. I think some wars are like minimal pay and we can defend public health together”.
