Bonaccini The Autonomy That Divides Italy I Want A Pd Without Currents The Party Would All Be Reset

Stefano Bonaccini, candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party: let's start with a hot topic, differentiated autonomy The League disputes that you have changed your mind on the reform: how do you respond? «They needed a trophy to show in the regional elections in Lombardy: for their own benefit they approved a deeply wrong bill, which divides the country and penalizes the weakest territories.

All without confrontation with Regions and local bodies As it stands, the bill is inadmissible: waste paper.

Our proposal was different: it envisaged a stronger involvement of the Parliament, starting from the definition of the essential levels of services It is essential to guarantee all citizens the same rights and services.

And then it is necessary to reduce the infrastructural differences We don't want an extra euro.

And we need a shared and supportive agreement between the Regions » Pd primaries, final rush: Bonaccini closes in Bologna, Schlein in Palermo.

The unknown turnout The mayors accuse the Calderoli law of marginalizing the Municipalities Agree? «The autonomy that is needed must start from the assumption that the Municipalities are the institution closest to the citizens.

Article 116 of the Constitution, the one on differentiated autonomy, also provides for the involvement of local authorities The Regions must not manage, but legislate and plan".

He spoke of a split Italy: do you think that the role of the capital can also be reduced? «The government must modify the proposal, to share a serious and balanced system with the local authorities to bring to Parliament The worst wrong that can be done to the cause of autonomy is to split the local autonomies that will be called upon to manage it and the Chambers that must approve the agreements.

Without a good reform and just autonomy, there would be chaos: it is the last thing Italy needs As for Rome, I think it is in the national interest to enhance the role of the capital, it is not just a Roman question".

Usually in the Pd the day after the primaries the cannonade of the new secretary by the currents begins What does she expect? «I said from the beginning that I would not accept the support of the currents, of which I have never been a part.

A clear message: I don't think it's a coincidence that practically all the current leaders are elsewhere Just as it is a fact that those who have led the party in recent years or have had government roles several times have chosen not to support me.

We have to take a step forward and I also ask Elly, Gianni and Paola to do the same, actively collaborating for the unity of the Democratic Party I am sure I can guarantee the unity of the party».

The former secretary Nicola Zingaretti left saying that he was ashamed of his departure from him Are the reasons for those resignations still present in the Democratic Party? «Zingaretti left, identifying the main reason precisely in the currents: I did not share that choice and I told him so.

For me, the problems collide That's why I said that you need to reset everything.

A large plural party has many souls and lives if it knows how to make them compare, seeking a high synthesis; not if you divide the seats in the direction or in the lists for Parliament For me, and for many and many, we turn the page.

And for history and characteristics, I think I can guarantee these two results: a more united Pd that will win again » Does "reset" mean that the top figures will change? «We have come from too many defeats, it is right that those who have led the Democratic Party in recent years take a step to the side: they can lend a hand even without holding positions.

We have militants who give their contribution every day without anything in return: let them be an example for everyone At my side there is today a very fresh ruling class, already experienced in the territories: local administrators who give answers to people every day, women and men who win the elections, given that we govern in 70% of the Municipalities.

And militants who worked in circles without a euro in cash, but ready to mobilize I will call them to my side: it is the popular energy that the Democratic Party needs to win again and change the country».

Is he still convinced of asking Giorgia Meloni for a meeting if she becomes her secretary? "Certain As secretary of the first opposition party, I will tell you that we respect the electorate's mandate: governing is their duty rather than their right.

And that we guarantee and demand respect: we are adversaries, not enemies But we won't make discounts, either on unrealizable promises or on wrong choices.

We will be a serious and pragmatic opposition: we will always add a counter-proposal to the many 'no's we say And we will collaborate when it is in Italy's interest, in transparency.

Our goal is to beat them in the next elections by being able to be judged more credible by citizens" Letta tried to ally with everyone and in the end was left with no one, Do you think you can succeed where the outgoing secretary failed? “I believe that alliances are a means, not an end.

The agreements made at the table to beat the opponents don't work, and in fact we ended up with a weaker Democratic Party and practically no allies Alliances are made on contents, building common positions from the opposition.

And we must do them by giving more strength and recognition to the Democratic Party, the pivot of a new centre-left I have made some proposals, from the establishment of the legal minimum wage to the defense of public health.

If Third Polo and 5Stelle are interested, let's start from there" In 2024, in addition to the Europeans, there will be the administrative ones.

The Democratic Party intends to continue with variable alliances, as in the last Regionals? «Our goal is to return to being the first party in the European elections and confirm the strength we have in the municipalities In cities it is easier to build convergences on things to do, also involving civic energies.

But that's exactly why I don't see schemes to drop from above Rather, I believe that the double defeat of the latest Policies and Regionals will make 5 Stars and the Third Pole think: if they don't want to surrender themselves to irrelevance, it will be in their interest to come to a more secular confrontation, without vetoes.

And it's in our interest too " You often say that the left must get out of the living rooms and out of the Ztl.

Specifically, what does it mean? «Going back to where people live, study, work I went to the gates of Mirafiori and they told me it had been over ten years since they had seen the secretary of the Democratic Party.

They have asked me to come back if I am elected There are a hundred, a thousand Mirafiori.

I want a management team that comes from the area and stays in the area Even when you don't have solutions, people recognize you if you're there, you confront yourself, you take charge of the problems.

From Monday we start from there » There are those who criticize her look: the pochette, the glasses, the eyebrows.

How important is appearance to winning? “I would say zero We talk about it for two minutes and then the contents and credibility take over: if there are any, consensus is won, if they are missing, you lose.

People are looking for solutions, not gossip " From Monday we start from there ».
