Relocations, in Genoa the national agora on work. Provenzano: ‘We need urgent answers’
Review from Genoa, the national debate on work and the relocation node. If last week, from the Genoese conference of Confindustria, the thrust on the subject of the president of the industrialists Carlo Bonomi, who had the intervention against relocations “a strongly and ideologically anti-business decree, look at the finger and not at the moon”, tomorrow, Friday, the Pd will return to the discussion, with the national dem agora scheduled in the Aquarium halls. A round table scheduled at 2.30 pm, the second national agora in the area, which in Genoa – some in attendance, some in connection – will bring together some of the main protagonists of the debate. The national secretary pd Enrico Letta (on video) and the deputy Giuseppe Provenzano, Brando Benifei (dem head of delegation to the European Parliament), the minister of Labor Andrea Orlando, Pierluigi Bersani, the former general secretary of the CISL Annamaria Furlan.
“We continue to see thousands of jobs threatened and canceled often with disrespectful and brutal methods, we have seen that ex post interventions by the judiciary are not enough – explains Simone D’Angelo, secretary of the Genoese Pd, organizer for the occasion (together to the local federation of Article One) and landlord – The Democratic Party’s commitment to protect work and industry also includes new rules on relocation. As a party, we believe that an urgent regulatory intervention can no longer be postponed, so that large groups are reminded of that social responsibility that is so clearly engraved in article 41 of our constitutional charter. Today more than ever, we cannot stop or retreat on the terrain of protecting work and its dignity ”.
«In the most rapid and effective way we must reaffirm some principles: that even for multinationals, art. 41 of the Constitution, that it is necessary to strengthen a virtuous bond between industries and the territory, that it is necessary to protect workers and their families, the productive fabric and local communities from closures dictated by purely speculative reasons “, the deputy secretary dem Provenzano, that this morning launched the initiative on social media.
Among the participants there were also trade union representatives of the territory, the former general secretary of the CGIL Sergio Cofferati, the national coordinator of Article Uno Arturo Scotto, the deputy minister for development Alessandra Todde and the mayor of Bologna Matteo Lepore (both in economic connection), among the invited is also the dem mayor of Sestri Levante Valentina Ghio, who many in the party would like to lead the regional federation of the Democratic Party in place of the outgoing secretary, Simone Farello. A candidacy for now only on paper, which could however begin to take shape tomorrow, when – in the evening, after the Agora at the Aquarium – in zoom mode the dem regional assembly will reopen, which went empty on Monday, in fact due to the lack of a quorum and the doubts of some internal areas on the timing and formulas of the discussion.
The process of building the electoral project in view of the Municipal perspectives is still very open, in the acceleration phase in defining the contours of the progressive coalition (with the M5s inside, and the Renzians in the waiting phase), much less the comparison on the possible common candidate, the The Ligurian PD has, moreover, to renew offices and constitution for some time. The meeting tomorrow, barring new ones, will have the task of kicking off the regional congress, which will be responsible for renewing the approximately 260 members of the assembly and (above all) the leadership of the party. Steps frozen for years, which had already shaken the party internally in the spring, and never as in this moment, if not “managed”.
