The
national direction of the Democratic Party
is underway : comparison between the candidates for the secretariat of the Democratic Party, Stefano Bonaccini, Elly Schlein and Paola De Micheli.
A group of Democrats at the opening of the confrontation between the three candidates for the secretariat, proposed to search among the fundamental principles of the Ulivo '96 and of the Lingotto 2007, the fundamental axes on which to rebuild the future Pd.
This was explained by Walter Verini, at the Nazareno, alongside Marianna Madia, Stefano Ceccanti, Roberto Morassut and others.
Verini also underlined that the dem have "lost 7.5 million voters since 2008".
"Democratic is the most comprehensive word to describe our identity, no other substitute or addition could describe it better," warned Ceccanti.
Madia urged "to rebuild a convincing political proposal within a year and a half", to "return steadily above 25%".
Qatargate is "a story that is upsetting our Europe, a shameful story. The Democratic Party was not born assuming the principle of moral superiority over others but of morality and legality as an essential tool of collective and personal credibility. Those who have tried to dishonor our community they must be expelled and this constituent must serve as a warning to those who want to tarnish it in the future", said the vice president of the European Parliament Pina Picierno al Nazareno at the opening of the confrontation between the three candidates for the secretariat.
First direct confrontation between the three candidates in the dem primaries, Stefano Bonaccini, Paola De Micheli and Elly Schlein: the controversy over the timing of the congress and the identity of the party restarts.
The mayor of Pesaro Matteo Ricci, who passed in the Bonaccini field, asks to bring the primaries forward to January 22: "We need to start again immediately to stop the descent".
Francesco Boccia, coordinator of Schlein's motion, replies, who in turn asks for respect for the members, arguing that carrying out the consultation a month before would mean blowing up the internal phase.
Ricci is not the only one who, in the face of polls that are not exciting for the dem, would like to anticipate the primaries: "We lose a percentage point a week. What else do we need to speed up the congress? But do we really want to hurt ourselves?"
tweets Alessia Rotta.
The former minister De Micheli, who also shares the idea, possibly asks to submit to the national assembly a statutory amendment to go to an urgent congress, directly with the primaries open and weighted vote (which is worth two for members and one for voters).
"They don't want Schlein to go ahead with his electoral campaign because they fear her", the deputy's supporters murmur annoyed.
And someone insinuates the doubt that, on the other hand, in the end the primaries will have to be postponed a week or two ahead because they are too close to the regional ones.
For now, the date remains set at February 19. This is not the only issue on the table.
A group of Democrats - Stefano Ceccanti, Graziano Delrio, Stefano Graziano, Marianna Madia, Roberto Morassut, Pina Picierno, Debora Serracchiani, Giorgio Tonini and Walter Verini - will illustrate a document in which secretary Letta is asked "to favor the clear distinction between a constitutional revision dimension and a more properly congressional one".
Respect to "
constitutional texts of the Pd summary judgments in favor of a respectful approach should be banned - their thesis -.
The fundamental principles of the Democratic Party appear more current than ever.
Starting with the idea that there is a democratic identity, so to speak 'without adjectives'".
Luigi Zanda, after leaving the constituent committee of the Pd, attacks on Qatargate: "When Italian citizens with corruption and money laundering try to condition and in fact condition the guidelines of the European Parliament in favor of foreign states, their behavior can be called in a only way: high treason".
Bonaccini intervenes on the latest polls, which show the Pd in decline: "They leave the time they find, but they mark a trend and certainly the Quatargate has weighed - he admits -: the risk is not the disappearance of the Pd, but its irrelevance".
Therefore, it relaunches on the contents and, in particular, on the introduction of the legal minimum wage.
Schlein, for her part, announces the entry into the team of Stefania Bonaldi, "the mayor of rights", with the role of coordinator of the network of administrators and administrators supporting her.
Francesco Boccia has also recently sided with her and launches the sprint: "With her - he promises - we will return to being the first party of the progressives and, by mending with the M5S, we will be able to beat the right".
Gianni Cuperlo intervenes from the left and announces that he will soon lift the reserve on his candidacy.
Goffredo Bettini branded the congress as "poor and tired" and argued: "Certainly the left needs a more direct presence to keep a certain point of view alive.
