Schlein and the wide field: “Alone, no alternative to Meloni”

Schlein in Abruzzo, warning to CSX parties: “Our opponent, it is clear, is the right. I hope I am not the only leader who knows this”

From Teramo, a campaign stop ahead of the regional elections, Elly Schlein sends a warning to the centre-left parties. “I hope I am not alone among political leaders in knowing that none of our political forces alone are sufficient to build the alternative” to the centre-right government, says the Democratic secretary. “And certainly no one can think of doing it without the first opposition force, which is the democratic community, the Democratic party“, he underlines. “In Abruzzo the wide field managed to find an agreement thanks also to the extraordinary candidacy of Luciano D'Amico” and “we are very happy that, around Luciano D'Amico, all the alternative forces to the right have united in a common program”, he underlines.” It's proof that it can be done, just want it”, continues. The reporters ask those who oppose Giuseppe Conte. “You should ask him,” Schlein replies. “We are very happy to be in Abruzzo with a very broad alliance open to all alternative forces to the right – he insists -. This can be done when we agree on a program and with a credible candidacy”.

“Our opponent, it is clear, is the right”, he reiterates. The dem leader then returns to attack the government for its management of RAI and justice issues. “On Wednesday we will be in front of the RAI, in defense of the freedom and independence of the public service – she recalls – and because we consider the repeated attacks by this government against journalists, newspapers and investigative journalism to be serious” . “We will be there – he adds – to affirm that our fellow citizens deserve correct information” while “too often we see the public service used for government propaganda almost as if” journalists “were government spokesmen. This is not correct. We will work, I hope also with the other oppositions, to a reform that makes it independent from politics and the parties. We know that not every evil has arisen from this government, even those who were there before did not intervene in this direction but today the Democratic Party wants to work” to this reform.

“Even today Nordio returns to talk about the reforms he would like to make, but let's face it – Schlein then says -: since it arrived on justice this government has had a penal populism approach. They have included a lot of crimes and in the meantime today there is it was another suicide in prison.”
