Bonaccini: those who have been in government go to the bench
"With Veltroni we were more than 12 million voters of the Democratic Party. The last election made us lose another million and we're down to just over 5 million. So more than sending people away it's good that each of us gets busy to convince others to come. that we must apologize to him".
This was stated by Stefano Bonaccini, president of the Emilia Romagna Region, candidate for secretary of the Democratic Party, today in Rosolini, in the Syracuse area.
"Either we return to the idea of militancy, where the important thing is not the rank one holds, but the civil passion and public ethics for which politics is made, or the Democratic Party has no future - he added - I say this because if I become secretary, it will never happen again that no one in the management team runs for single-member constituencies, something that has never been seen before and that is the first dramatic message you give to citizens. It is not clear why to be elected in the municipalities, in the Region , even in Europe, you have to run by putting your face on it and rightly submitting to the judgment of the citizens. If you are a leader, it can be seen in the relationship with the consensus of the territories, not because someone indicates it to you. If the electoral law does not change, that must be recognized it is bad and that MPs will try to change it,I guarantee you that next time in the province of Syracuse or in Sicily or throughout Italy, you will choose the candidates of the Democratic Party in the primaries".
