(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 12 - "This ballet of candidates hides the programmatic and political void. These attempts also highlight, I say it without cruelty, that the Democratic Party is a walking dead. Its members accept reality and dissolve it, freeing up energy for the constituent phase. First we break with the past and then we do the constituent".
Fausto Bertinotti, former Speaker of the Chamber and former secretary of RifondazioneComunista, told 'L'aria che tira' la 7. Then, speaking of the candidates: "Can I joke about this serious thing? - he added - Joking in the PCI it was said that if you want to choose the secretary you have to stay in the land between Piedmont and Sardinia, if you want to choose the treasurer you go to Emilia".
