Elly Schlein is a candidate for the PD Secretariat
The former vice president of the Emilia-Romagna region Elly Schlein officially launched his candidacy for the PD Secretariat this morning in Rome at the meeting”Part of us“.
“A new story begins with us that can build the alternative that this country deserves. -he declares- The Meloni government has already shown its face” also criticizing the maneuver, which “is against the poor”.
“We are here to start a collective process for a contribution to the reconstruction of a new Democratic Party that we need. This constituent process is an opportunity. We bring our proposals. We are not here to play an identity showdown game, but to make the new Pd, keep the community together and safeguard its pluralism, its diversity, but without renouncing a clear, understandable and coherent identity. It is not a challenge to read in the division between reformism and radicalism, there is a common field: how to change the neoliberal development model that has proved unsustainable”, is one of the passages of Elly Schlein’s speech at the meeting “It starts from us” underway in Rome where he also underlined that “We are here not to make a new current, we are a wave not a new current. There will never be Schleinians“.
“Our vision of the future starts from three crucial challenges: inequalities, climate and precariousness. The right-wings don’t talk about it, it’s as if they lived in another country” he added, explaining that “Calderoli’s design on differentiated Autonomy sinks the roots in the Northern League’s secession project must be renegotiated,” he said. “Not all female leadership is feminist, we don’t care about one female premier who does not help other women, which does not defend their rights. The maneuver restricts the female option and differentiates women on the basis of children”. “I hope that Meloni will withdraw the lawsuit against Saviano, writers cannot be played”.
“To Renzi, who says he brought us to Parliament, I say don’t forget that as far as I’m concerned, it was 50,000 preferences that brought me to Parliament. Renzi has the merit of pushing me and many others out of the Democratic Party with arrogant management. He reduced the Pd in rubble and then he’s gone”. “I – he added – I’m getting back on the road, to listen to the base again, the circles. The constituent phase cannot end with the primaries, even afterwards the courage to change will be needed. Serve a new thing, because what we have been up to here is not enough. Let’s not waste the Constituent Assembly, it’s a challenge, it’s not the candidate who wins but a community, we need to enhance a new ruling class, with administrators and men and women”.
“If we do it together, I’m here, I won’t back down, let’s build this candidacy together to demonstrate that I can become the secretary of the new Pd. Together with you, I want to become the secretary of the new Pd“. “A hug it’s a greeting a Bonaccini” with which for the Regionals “we made a good campaign, finding a synthesis of the differences, composing our diversities, but without missing out on compactness when it was necessary to govern in the midst of the pandemic”.
