Pd, here are the programs of the candidates: Schlein wants the property, Bonaccini the public funding

ROME. Sex education in schools, gay marriage and free soft drugs, ius soli, stop the jobs act. And a patrimonial one for the richest. Signed Elly Schlein. If anyone has so far doubted that there were major differences in the programs between the two favorites in the dem congress, they can get an idea with the texts of the motions that clear the ground of so much fog.

On taxation, for example, Stefano Bonaccini is less trenchant than Schlein, but always with a leftist stamp, when he proposes “a single, truly progressive tax on all incomes and an overall reform that reduces the taxation of permanent employment and increases that of income and wealth”.

At work, she goes down sharply, asking to “turn the page sharply after the errors of the Jobs Act and the Poletti decree which facilitated layoffs and the liberalization of fixed-term contracts. And on the taxman, here is the balance sheet: «Whoever has more must be called to contribute more. And the issue of large estates must also be tackled from a redistributive perspective».

On the other hand, he is the most pervasive on the party, he would like “mandatory referendums among the members on major choices, a school of politics to form the new ruling class” which recalls the courses at the Frattocchie of the PCI and the return to public financing of the parties. The role of party members is back in vogue.

Paola De Micheli does it, who proposes herself as the “trade unionist of the members”, who should count twice as much when they vote in the primaries compared to all the other sympathizers and patrons. Her motion “Concretely” tries to regulate (to minimize it) the weight of the currents: to have citizenship they must have a minimum number of Pd members, make an annual payment of solidarity, organize ten days of training and political culture every year. The motion of the former minister proposes a sort of anti-lobby register when she requires parliamentarians and Pd leaders to “make public their meetings with possible lobbyists and stakeholders on the Democratic Transparency portal”.

And if De Micheli launches the provocation of giving women veto power over candidacies, “to avoid hasty choices”, Schlein goes further and proposes “the co-secretariat with gender alternation”. Bonaccini also has his say on rights: “Instituting egalitarian marriage and reforming the adoption system by overcoming any discrimination”.

Gianni Cuperlo focuses on the party, he is for the return of public funding and against the double role for the leader (“managing the party must not be the bus to go elsewhere”), who must be chosen by the members keeping the primaries open only for the choice of candidate for prime minister. With a clear choice on the issues of work, so that the Jobs act is “exceeded”.
