"The sooner the better".
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein said this on the occasion of the presentation of Roberto Speranza's book at Palazzo Montecitorio, responding to Lucia Annunziata who asked when the agreements on the Regional elections could arrive.
The response from M5s leader Giuseppe Conte was immediate: "We are working on it and we hope to find ourselves in shared projects to be credible. There is no prejudicial attitude in any context. In some territories our communities are in opposition, but for our part, there is no prejudicial attitude but obstacles to be removed."
"I hope - said the secretary of the Democratic Party - that from that experience we not only draw lessons for making oppositions on public health. But we draw things that we can do together such as oppositions on school, healthcare and the right to housing. And I hope that it is a seed that teaches us that it is not true that the alternative does not exist. If it does not exist, it is our duty to work day by day on the issues to build it".
"There are wounds to heal - he added. I keep meeting people who tell me 'work to build alternatives'. We have seen how divided the centre-right is, but ultimately they are confident that even where they are divided they can regroup. We must build patiently with method and on the themes of convergence. There are differences because we are not in the same party, and it would not even be desirable. We hope to carry out joint initiatives with other parties too. We are committed to a method that sees us working on merit to build convergences".
