Calenda: “On some issues, such as nuclear power, he is closer to the right than to Schlein’s Democratic Party”

On some topics Charles Calendaleader of Action, says he can sometimes feel closer to the right than to the Democratic Party Elly Schlein. Like on nuclear power, for example. “We presented our motion in which we clearly ask to go towards nuclear power and the right voted for it. We do politics to improve people’s lives – he explains on TV in Mattino Cinque on Canale 5 – And I if a provision of the right, I share it, I vote for it. The same is a provision of the left”.

The nuclear

“Nuclear energy is today one of the safest and least polluting. It has no emissions, does not emit CO2 and has very low land consumption. It has very little waste, which is stored in total safety – continues the leader of the Third Pole – Brushes photovoltaics pollute more than nuclear, consume more soil, are unstable and do not guarantee continuous energy, being the energy produced by the sun intermittent.For this reason, all over the world we are witnessing a recovery in the construction of nuclear power plants, which are 5 years. Energy must be consumed at the same time or stored, which leads to problems. Nuclear power is a constant source with zero emissions”. As for the future, “to achieve the goals we have set ourselves, we need a mix of renewable and nuclear energy”, concludes the leader of Azione.

“The Meloni government has no choice at all”

In his newsletter, however, he attacks the Meloni government which, he writes, “doesn’t know which way to go to tackle Italy’s real problems: from in-work poverty to school, from healthcare to immigration. The Executive drags itself from an emergency to another arguing about nominations and continually backtracking on the political positions on which he asked the Italians to vote”.

Surrogacy, attack on the Democratic Party and FdI

But he is also critical of the Democratic Party. Especially on the subject of surrogacy. “An absurd confrontation on rights has restarted. The government has blocked the European filiation certificate and accuses the opposition of wanting to legalize pregnancy for others. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, took to the streets, as it now does on a weekly basis, without however clarify his thoughts on the Gpa. This hypocrisy facilitates the work of the right in the confusion between the Gpa and the protection of children – he always comments in his e-news – Our position is clear. Children must always be protected, but the practice of the uterus in rent must remain a crime. It is not tolerable that a woman in poverty should sell her motherhood to people wealthier than her, in order to survive. Homosexuality or heterosexuality have nothing to do with the discussion” regarding surrogacy, “also because today the vast majority of cases of appeal concern heterosexual couples.I therefore find absurd, as well as repugnant, the phrases on ‘paedophilia’ or ‘child trafficking’ pronounced by some ‘gentlemen’ of Fratelli D’Italia”.

Single party third pole

The single party of the Third Pole? “It has already been done, we have resolved that on June 10 the two assemblies” will give the go-ahead. “Already today we function as a single party”, specifies the leader of Action on ‘Mattino Cinque News’ on Canale5. And if he will be the secretary? “I am running as a candidate, the members will decide it with a primary mechanism. We don’t want to do like the Democratic Party where the members voted for Bonaccini and the non-members reversed the result”.
