Schlein: 'In the program one does not equal one, the PD has twice the votes'

"The program is written with the whole alliance, knowing full well that we must be inclusive, but that doesn't mean one person counts as one in that discussion. Because no one has given us anything; if we are firmly the first opposition party, we earned it with sweat and commitment, by convincing people one by one, who gave us double the votes of the other forces, in the European, regional, and municipal elections. Generous yes, naive no." This was said by PD secretary Elly Schlein in her address to the party leadership, currently underway at the Nazareno. "We must refine the common program, so that it is a binding pact with everyone. A pact with the Italians. First the common program, then the leadership, because whoever leads must lead the whole alliance, not just one party." "We are ready. The program must be refined together with the whole progressive alliance, with all those who want to build the alternative, and it is essential that this process takes place among the people. The program is written with the whole alliance." "In these years we have worked tirelessly together for the unity of the party and of the progressive alliance; we have achieved both, and we should be proud of it. There is a strategic alliance between forces that are autonomous but that together can beat the right. We will never again do the right the favor of dividing us. The journey is not complete but the alternative is a concrete reality: the compass is the Constitution." Reproduction reserved © Copyright ANSA
