"We will not give discounts to a government that is putting Italy on the margins. The party will have as a constant point of reference listening to the streets, the protests, the thousand places of work, the country".
"It is a job that we do with passion and dedication - he continued - knowing that all of this has a fixed point, to make Italy return to the center of Europe. Today it is on the sidelines in the choices that count and it is on the sidelines on the relevant issues. For these reasons we are starting a profound work that will bring results in the classrooms in the next few days".
