Pd, Decaro attacks: “The party of currents has governed for years with the votes of others. Now is the time of the mayors”

At the national level, the Democratic Party “hasn’t won elections for 18 years” yet it has governed “through agreements with the parties that got the votes, it governed with the votes of others”. Antonio Decaromayor of Bari and president of Anci, goes on the attack of the “party of currents” in an interview with Mezz’ora in più.

Decaro, who will support Stefano Bonaccini at the congress, underlines that the time has come for local administrators: while the party was losing at the national level, “the mayors of the Democratic Party won the vast majority of the elections, so the time has come for the administrators to take responsibility to lead the Democratic Party”. And again: “Bonaccini is a regional president, many of us, mayors and governors, sided with him because we would like to break the current system that has done so much damage to the Democratic Party in recent years. We had to talk about politics instead we talked about politicians, that is, we were talking about current leaders who were looking for pieces of power”. A frontal attack: “We have held conferences in the last period trying to obtain percentages to be used in management to obtain the same percentage of candidates in blocked lists and in safer places”.

Bonaccini and Schlein: “We’ll give each other a hand after the primaries”

The governor of Emilia Romagna Stefano Bonaccini meanwhile continues his electoral tour in view of the congress: “If I prevail, I will ask ad Elly Schlein give me a hand, if she prevails I will give her a hand”, he says from Termoli where he arrived around 10.30 this morning, at Cala Sveva. After listening to the requests of mayors, municipal councilors and party representatives, he returned to the his program for a Pd “never populist but more popular. We need to be more present in real society. I do not accept a Pd that is tearing apart and divided”, says the governor. Who invokes “a new ruling class” and openness “even to those who do not do politics but prove to be deserving and capable people”. In the next elections, “the commitment is that in the territories you will choose the candidates with the primaries”.

Bonaccini and Meloni: “Call us for a solution on bills and Pnrr”

“We need to agree because I have the impression that they talk about things they know nothing about”, says Bonaccini on the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and right-wing rule. “Ask a regional president or even a center-right mayor what would happen if you change the Pnrr now that it is only 5 years away from its implementation. If you change it – explains Bonaccini – before reaching an agreement, you risk losing another year or two years , so we will reach halfway through the process needed to invest and spend those resources that you have to report.Instead of changing the Pnrr, for weeks I have been asking them to call local authorities, mayors, regional presidents, social partners, we sit down and discuss the how to modify the price lists: because the problem is not only the cost of energy, there is also the cost of raw materials and materials. If they don’t know, someone should tell them. We have open construction sites that stop. We risk that the next tenders for billionaire investments on the Pnrr are not even validated because companies risk not showing up for tenders with prices increased by 20, 30, 100, 200, 500 percent. These are emergencies ” emphasizes the governor. “After that he must know that he is available and must be available to everyone, it is not that he opposes a government because he must be against it. On the contrary, if there are things in the interest of Italians, it is absolutely necessary not only to collaborate and share them Why don’t you call local authorities and social partners to the table instead of announcing it”. “Meloni, call us – concludes Bonaccini – we’ll sit down and see how together we can find a possible solution”.
