The assembly of the Democratic Party, meeting at the "La Nuvola" Congress Center in Rome, proclaimed

Elly Schlein the new secretary of the Democratic Party and elected Stefano Bonaccini president of the party

(with one vote against and two abstentions).

The deputy Chiara Gribaudo and the president of the Apulian regional council Loredana Capone are the new vice presidents of the Democratic Party, the senator Michele Fina treasurer.

This is the outcome of the vote in the assembly, underway in Rome.

The yes came unanimously.

Pd, Schlein: 'We're coming, it's new spring'

Visibly excited, after the proclamation Schlein immediately embraced Stefano Bonaccini, with whom she fought for the role in the primaries, and then her predecessor Enrico Letta.

The applause lasted over three minutes.

"Dear all, thank you. The first thanks go to those who are committed to making us happy with this extraordinary exercise of democracy, which we carry out as the only party in Italy, the congress, the primaries", said Schlein.

"Thanks to all those who went to vote, more than a million. We did it".

"We no longer want to see irregularities in the membership, we have evils to eradicate, we no longer want to see various bosses and caciques. We will have to work a lot together on this, it affects the credibility of the Democratic Party, on which I am not willing to give an inch".

 Those who had bet on the end of the Democratic Party "lost their bet against the Democratic Party, we are still here, stronger and more united, and we are coming. This will be a new spring for us," said Schlein.

"We need to take care of the human relationship even before the political one. We need to put a definitive end to the internal conflicts that rob us of precious energies, to instead build an alternative to the right that governs this country", added Schlein.

"We must try to dialogue with the other opposition forces, there are common grounds, we have the responsibility to explore them together, we have to start from here," Schlein said.

Pd, Schlein: 'Common land with the other oppositions'

"We have to dress this new Democratic Party with enthusiasm and curiosity. I had the first meeting with the regional and territorial secretaries, because there was a signal that there were people who wanted to register. We have reopened registrations, there are more than

10 thousand in one week

, it's a sign of imported vitality, let's keep it up," said Schlein.

"We are awakening a hope, we must not disappoint the expectation of this extraordinary participation".

"This

is the time to unite

, there can be no other shirts we wear other than those of the Democratic Party".

This was stated by the president of the Democratic Party,

Stefano Bonaccini

.

"One of the things that our people have asked you is to guide us, to carry us forward united. Above all, the community of democrats has asked you to make the choices you have to make, without going to negotiate and deal with any current, with whoever tells you what to do. Use the strength of the investiture and legitimacy that you have to the full".

Thus the former secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta addressed Elly Schlein, concluding his speech at the party's national assembly.

"It would have been possible to do so many ways to get here, I think the path we chose was the right one. There was no need for a new secretary or new secretary, it wouldn't have been enough, even with an extraordinary person like Schlein, but we needed a new Pd, and we did this".

"The basics are needed not to run a hundred meters, but the marathon, so that the country will change profoundly with the next policies".

A minute's silence was observed by the Pd assembly in memory "of three people who have left a void," said Pd deputy Silvia Roggiani, president of the national commission for Congress.

The first is Senator Bruno Astorre, then Daniele Lucera, the teller who passed away during the polling operations, and Enrico Gandolfi, councilor of the XIII municipality.
