It is an appeal, and not even the first one, for unity between political forces, launched yesterday by Giorgia Meloni, on a symbolic date like June 2nd. «It is not a simple museum celebration. It is the dimension of the fact that either we understand that, if there are difficulties or if things go well, we can only go out together, each one needs to do their part.
There is no one who alone can solve the problems. Understanding that we are all connected is the necessary cultural element to understand that we must all row in the same direction», words spoken by the Prime Minister to journalists, on the sidelines of the Republic Day celebrations. An invitation to which, so far, no response has come from minorities, starting with Elly Schlein, who yesterday went to see the supporter Iole Mancini, 103 years old, who survived the Nazi arrest in via Tasso, where she was detained and interrogated by Priebke . «It was he who made our Republic, in the courage of a choice of resistance that had very high personal costs. Our mission is to take the baton and cultivate and project into the future the principles and values of freedom, democracy and justice that founded it. Happy Republic Day to all! “, Wrote on Facebook the secretary of the Democratic Party, whose watchword, since she assumed the leadership of the dem, has been only one:” no “.
A refusal to dialogue with the Palazzo Chigi that was manifested, for example, three weeks ago, on the occasion of the meetings, held at the Presidential Library, in Montecitorio, of the prime minister, together with a delegation of members of the executive, with the opposition, on institutional reforms. On the occasion, the leader of the Democratic Party not only underlined that the issue is not a priority for the country, but also outlined a whole series of bets in order to make the start of negotiations at least complicated. “We are not in favor of reducing the role of the President of the Republic to a model of a single man or woman in charge”, said the former vice president of the Emilia-Romagna region at the time, also against the hypothesis of the premiership, or Prefect of Italy, if you will. A sudden stop also came on the occasion, on the 1st of May, of the launch by the Council of Ministers of the so-called Labor Decree-Law.
A measure of “precariousness” and “blackmail”, “a provocation”, according to Schlein. Strong rejection of a text that introduces measures in favor of workers, such as a new cut of four percentage points in the tax burden, to the benefit of the lowest incomes. Then there is the Democratic Party Secretary’s uncompromising position in favor of surrogacy: a policy line that is generating the first cracks, so much so that Democratic Party reformers have created an online petition to voice their opposition to Gestation For Others. Finally, support for Ukraine, on which the Prime Minister never wavered, while the day before yesterday’s vote in the European Parliament on strengthening the EU’s ammunition and missile production capacity, to allow for their timely delivery to Kiev, certified the split in three of the Democratic Party, between favorable to the measure, abstentions and one vote against.
