Comparison in the Nazarene between the candidates for the secretariat of the Democratic Party, Stefano Bonaccini, Elly Schlein and Paola De Micheli.
We must fight against "economic, social and territorial inequalities" and for "the advancement of civil and social rights. If the left cannot say this, it is not left in nature", said the candidate for the secretariat of the Pd
Stefano Bonaccini
during the confrontation between the three candidates.
Bonaccini remarked: "We are reformists" with a "culture of government" but with government that is a means, not an end.
"Woe to make a photocopy of 5s and third pole", he said, "we are a Labor force".
In his opinion we need to "go back to being the Democratic Party, take back the space of a party with a majority vocation".
"I hear from time to time" in the internal debate of the Democratic Party "the opposition between capital and labor as if we were at the beginning of the last century, it is surreal".
"I too feel drives for change with regressive connotations", "I will counter this trend" which would mark "the end of the Democratic Party, which would lead us onto minority tracks. It has already happened in other neighboring countries, the risk is that it will happen here too" ,
"Every time we drop from above change without sharing" doesn't work.
"I hope to be able to complete a contribution document to the constituent committee in three points: let's change the statute, it will become the statute of the works".
"Feminism" is "substantial, not formal, as also happened in our community, because there is a need for many other women not to experience concrete inequalities", said the candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party
Paola De Micheli
during the confrontation between the candidates for the Nazarene.
"The risk of liquidation of the Democratic Party? If it is authentic" this constituent path "will need much more time, while the choice of the management group must be accelerated. This is why I made the proposal to bring the congress forward to the end of January or the beginning of February". added De Micheli during the confrontation at the Nazarene.
"We are not here to settle accounts but to build the new Democratic Party and do it together, safeguarding its precious pluralism but without renouncing a clear identity, a clear profile. Without making a photocopy, I share, but doing" at the same time "Accounts with the fact that those we wanted to represent may not have listened to us anymore if we lost those millions of voters", said the candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party
Elly Schlein
during the confrontation at the Nazarene.
"
I think it is important that today the pride of the Democratic Party has been strongly relaunched in all the interventions
", a party "attacked from many sides", even "by those who are with us in the opposition. Yet it is we who are opposing this government and it is around us that the alternative can be built in Lombardy and Lazio. This gives the sense of centrality that we have despite the difficulties ", so the secretary of the Democratic Party
Enrico Letta in connection with the comparison between the candidates for the secretariat
.
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.
"If the solution to our crisis must be that of a new edition of the left of the DS, with all due respect for that history, I think it is a historical error and a great error of analysis", said Marianna Madia at the beginning of the discussion between the candidates for the secretariat of the Pd.
Madia is part of the group that presented a document asking to respect the identity of the democratic party.
Pina Picerno underlined "the disappointing result of 25 September" arguing that "some have confused the disappointment" of the polls with the push to "bring us back" to "re-discuss the founding reasons" of the party.
Picierno warned against the "cancellation of 15 extraordinary years, it cannot be the congress of abjuration".
According to Graziano Delrio it is not necessary "
a new party", because "the Democratic Party already exists and it is the democratic party". Debora Serracchiani warned: "From the constituent phase we have moved on to the liquidation phase" and "it is a mistake", "the child must not be thrown away with dirty water.
Thinking that the Democratic Party can disappear would be a mistake that we would pay for".
