Pd, Elly Schlein launches her constituent process: a new story starts from us

“A new story starts from us, from the commitment we will make, which can build an alternative for this country”. Elly Schlein he launched his “constituent process” for the Democratic Party with a morning at the Monk club in Rome, chairs arranged in a circle, a lectern in the center, started with “evidence of commitment from the grassroots, from inside and outside the Democratic Party”.

“I want to address everyone and all those who have stories, a path, origins, ideas different from mine: we are not here for an identity showdown game”, said the former vice president of the Emilia Romagna Region. “We want something much more difficult, the new Democratic Party: to safeguard its plurality, to keep this community and its diversity together but without giving up a profile and a clear, understandable, coherent identity”. For Schlein, “this constituent process is aimed at rediscovering the sense of a common commitment, and also at understanding what has gone wrong in recent years”.

“I get back on the road with a rucksack and a tacquino to listen to the base, hear the circles”, said Schelin: “The world does not end with the primaries, even the next day it will take the courage to change, because it is not enough to change the management team if we don’t have a social block of reference”.

Bonaccini, Letta, Renzi

Elly Schelin sent a “hug” to Stefano Bonacciniof which she was deputy in the Emilia Romagna Region, she thanked Enrico Letta “for the work of this year and a half”, and disputed Matthew Renzistating that she did not enter Parliament thanks to the secretary of the Democratic Party at the time, but thanks to the preferences collected, stating that the leader of Italia viva instead made “unholy choices”, with an “arrogant attitude”, and “after having humiliated anyone had a different idea”, pushed Schelin out of the party.

“It’s a beautiful day”, said Schlein as he opened the morning entitled “He’s leaving us”, “thank you, because these have been difficult days for me and I really needed to see you, to be together and to send a big hug to my family , to my sister and I want to thank them for the strength they give me”. The sister, Susanna Schleinthe Italian deputy ambassador to Greece, has narrowly escaped an attack in recent days.

“Three challenges that the right does not mention”

Three “crucial challenges that the right never mention”, indicated by Schlein, “Inequalities, climate and precariousness”.

For the Democratic Party, “the challenge is not to be read in the simple division of how much reformism and how much radicalism we need, but to challenge all the cultures of origin in the unavoidable field, as we change the neoliberal development model which has proved unsustainable for people and for the planet”.

Among those present at the Monk in Rome, Pepe Provenzanocurrent deputy secretary of the Democratic Party and voice of the internal left of the party, and the parliamentarians Michelle DiBiase, Marco Furfaro, Cecilia D’Elia And Arthur Scott.

“Change starts from us, a us that is not exclusive: whoever arrives today arrives on par, many others will join”, said the deputy.
