«Worry about the Pnrr. The Rome waste-to-energy plant is a choice already made, we will vote against the M5S agenda»- Corriere.it

Elly Schlein speaks in his first press conference at the Nazarene: «The Pnrr is a challenge that concerns the entire country and we cannot miss this appointment. We cannot risk not receiving essential resources with delays. We will thoroughly monitor the percentages to be allocated to the ecological transition and territorial cohesion. Especially on that part that wants to allocate investments to the south. We are worried because we support Italy and we want these goals to be achieved. We have already asked Minister Fitto to come and report to the courtroom, we are waiting for him. We have the impression that months have been lost ».

“We have asked the government to clarify what is the state of implementation of the Plan and what are the changes on which there is still no clarity,” he added. “I believe that the credibility of our country and the unity of the European Union pass through the Pnrr,” continued Schlein.

Then, talk about April 25th. «On April 25, Liberation Day, I will be at the demonstration in Milan: it is an important and heartfelt celebration. Before April 25th there will be a discussion of a motion in the Senate, our national leadership will be held tomorrow at 3 pm, we have also convened the first national secretariat which will be held in Riano: it is a way to give tribute to a great Italian, Giacomo Matteotti, killed by the fascists and found right in Riano», he added.

The secretary of the Democratic Party also addresses the issue of migrants: «With the Cutro decree, which I find it hard to call that out of respect for that massacre, the government tries to bring Hungary into Italy» dismantling the widespread reception system. «What we are seeing is even worse than what the Salvini decrees had done. It was hardly imaginable but they are making it ».

On the waste-to-energy plant in Rome he says: «We have never taken a position against the procedure already in progress in the primaries. But since there are different sensitivities even within the party, I undertake to promote a comparison. We inherit choices that have already been made, it is not on the terrain of the choices already made that we measure how we try to build what is on the congressional platform». And then: «I have not yet seen the texts of the M5S and Avs agendas against the incinerator but I imagine that we will vote against. This does not mean that we will not continue the dialogue on the issues with the other oppositions”.
