Letta: “The assembly should immediately approve the manifesto for the birth of the new Democratic Party”

«We present the manifesto, and I thank the members of the Constituent Committee, in particular the people outside our world: we worked 52 hours together, it was a collective effort, but Roberto Speranza and I are solely responsible for the work we are presenting today».

Enrico Letta said it at the Pd assembly. «It was fundamental because it allowed us to experience how and why collective intelligence is superior to individualism. Other parties would have asked some external institution to do this job. This text requires a further step in order for it to be usable externally, making languages ​​more usable by the public which today goes far beyond who we are. We felt it necessary to be clear about the political data. The text can be improved in many ways, but it is important to approve it today. So we ask you to vote for this text, the one we have brought to the end. It is a beautiful manifesto, highly topical and modern in content. It is the manifesto of the political base of the birth of the New Democratic Party,” added Letta at the Democratic Party assembly.

And he added: “From here I want to send a big greeting and hug to our president and I also want to do it personally because in these two years I have truly felt him as the guiding star of my action and of all of us”.

The assembly of the Democratic Party had begun with a minute’s silence requested by the secretary himself for the victims of Iran: «I want to remember Mehdi Karami and his phrase “They have decided to give me the death penalty, don’t tell my mother”. It is a phrase that combines horror and everyday life».
