Zingaretti at Festa Unità: “The ruling classes have not understood that it is not the government that they are now electing, but control of the nation”

“The Italian dominant classes did not understand that a government alliance that now you have fun choosing or the destiny of a leader, but the seal of the nation in the next years. Because democracy must include, if it weakens, trust in the State weakens. That is why we must continue to change what exists. “The secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti, close the Feast of the Unification of Modena and decisively attacks those who violate the patrimony of the executive and the right, thecard parties owned by a leader “, in a Country “of renegades and tweeters”. And in his speech he also sent a message to his government allies: “To our allies, let me tell you enough of the hypocrisy be allies, but on television they play the role of opponents because this to camp. We need planning, we can’t escape this. If that is what is at stake, it is necessary to take a step forward. We are united not to occupy seats, but to carry out a program of Italian renaissance and justice. We do not have much time”.

Secretary Dem begins his speech with a blow against the right, on the eve of Regional elections: “Woe to leave the land to others. No one has any illusions, the democrats will never leave the ground within this democracy – he says – In this Italy of talkers, traitors, tweeters, there is only one party that with its lists and candidates represents a certainty everywhere, the only guarantee against the advance of the right. It is us, the Democratic Party, I have not seen others ”. And he lashes out at “paper parties, the fake ones, owned by a leader. We want to be the party of the people, on the side of the people, a living actor of democracy ”.

To defeat them, he says, everyone’s support is needed, even from forces outside the Democratic Party: “I tell the voters of the allied political forces to keep their identities, but in the face of one-shift systems I ask them what else must happen not to shoot the word now Unit to stop the right across the country. It is possible to do this around the most competitive applications. We don’t cast any votes. We do something that seemed impossible, we do not only ask for votes against but consent, aware that we have done and can do ”.

The Pd leader asks the citizens for confirmation and, in fact, a new show of support for Italy to become the guide to a “new Europe”: “The new Europe must be reborn, this is the powerful force of our commitment in these months of government to relocate Italy at the head of the new Europe. We took the most anti-European government in history and put it at the forefront of a process and a mission to condition and guide events ”. This statement, he adds, represents “a immense responsibility, similar to the fate of other generations such as those that re-founded Europe after the war or rebuilt it after the fall of the Berlin Wall. There is another page to write, because we have started but we are not satisfied. There is another reconstruction to be done. The institutions and enormous resources that we will have available for the first time will count ”. Resources to stay away from “ocelots they want to wear the Recovery Fund hands and turn those resources into a trusted opportunity. “

An even more complicated operation byCoronavirus emergency that hit everyone but, at the same time, “accentuated the inequalities against which the Democratic Party must fight ”. “The greatest benefit that this year of government has produced, beyond 100 billion assigned to Covid, is anchored in having linked the future of Italy to the destiny of Europe and have started its change which is the hope that died in millions of Italians after the calamity of sovereignists and the tragedy of illiberal democracy – He added – I would have left people alone.

“Now – continued the Democratic leader – the time has come to reopen one rebirth season, a great project to rebuild this country. A project for create job, build a new development model based on environmental sustainability, investing in people, starting with the priority of priorities that is the school, its democratic function for the rebirth of the country ”.

The real objective of the party, the segment of the population that seeks to involve the most, Zingaretti confesses, are the Young people, who should be the protagonists of this process of rebirth: “Let’s fight together, I assume the responsibility of lags in party innovation. But enough is enough, let’s win the election and Go ahead who is better and not who is more loyal within the party. I tell everyone, especially the young people, don’t wait for signs, give signs, you found a new young and popular base for the Democratic Party.

This is also due, he says, “we are the heirs of those men and women who rebuilt Italy with the blood of 18 year old partisans, which allowed us to be here, they in front of the Nazi rifles did not turn, they did not sing Beautiful hello to aspire to a career in politics, but to give us freedom and it is wonderful that the youth movements have awakened this song in the world. We must be worthy of it. “

The appreciation for the secretary’s speech came from the head of the Pd delegation to the government, Dario Franceschini, who wrote on Twitter: “From Zingaretti to Modena a clear and forceful speech both in the analysis of the decisions we have made in the year that we have behind us, and in that of indicating the way forward for the party and the government “.
