first we recover our identity. Then we will think about M5S or Third Polo-Corriere.it

First the identity and then, if necessary, the alliances. Bonaccini dictates his priorities in the Pd house. If in this congress we recover the identity the next day it will also be easier to decide on the basis of the program agreements who to stay with. Today I wouldn’t worry about whether to stay with the 5 Star Movement or with the Third Pole. Furthermore, I would certainly not exclusively entrust one to represent the left and the other to represent the moderates, said the president of the Emilia-Romagna region and candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party, speaking on the Mattino 5 broadcast on Canale 5. According to Bonaccini, in fact, the Democratic Party was born to be a large center-left party: it cannot be enough on its own, but we are certainly, and we must go back to being, the pivot of a new center-left. Now we should make an opposition: do it well, not coarse, not against it because you have to be so regardless but on the merits and, when you criticize, always have an alternative proposal.

As for his candidacy to lead the Democratic Party, Bonaccini argues that more is needed to try to unite and not divide and, in any case, someone must take responsibility for trying to ensure that Italy, and I would like this responsibility take it on behalf of my party, of a major political force that is the second largest in the country, is more united. This, according to Bonacconi, is a country that goes too fast: maybe it went at two speeds it would be easier to mend, instead it goes at three four five speeds. Greater Germany became great when it united its two parts. I think I have the characteristics to be able to do this job. The governor wants to bring the ability to administer as a dowry and feels Italian before Emilia-Romagna. Having led the Conference of Regions for almost six years and the Council of European Cities and Regions, I think I know the state of the art in our country well.

A central theme in the political debate, especially in relation to the majority and the opposition, is that of basic income. According to Bonaccibni, as it was conceived, it has failed in one of the two main steps, namely that of recovering work, therefore it must be radically reformed and not cancelled. the Government has made a choice that does not provide for any reform and this is wrong. And this is because you can even take away someone’s resources from one day to the next, but if you don’t put in place a reform policy that provides for giving work back to those who don’t have it and even taking away their subsidy, you risk to send someone into despair and then I don’t know what will happen to it. In this country – he added – it is necessary that alongside a subsidy for those who are in the drama there are employment policies and industrial policies because work is one of the first forms of dignity In Emilia-Romagna, Bonaccini underlined again, in 2016 together with Puglia, we were the first in Italy to launch the solidarity income. There was no basic income, it was a similar measure that gave a few hundred euros each month to those in poverty and desperation, focusing on the attempt to restore work as soon as possible to those who had lost it or have it found. to those who didn’t have it. I – concluded the Emilia-Romagna president – think that the citizen’s income is an absolutely necessary tool to give a subsidy, it exists in all western democracies.
