Pd, Bersani and Speranza open but want a wide field with the M5s
“The small homelands on the left don’t have too many spaces”, dice the coordinator of Article one, Arturo Scotto, who then explains: “It is time to define a broad force of the left of labor and rights. The reading proposal of a constituent phase must be understood, clarified and studied. It represents an objective step forward. For now, ours is a conditional yes: we do not subscribe to the Democratic Party, but to the constituent path of a new subject “.
After Letta’s letter to the members, those called into question ask themselves about the path traced by the secretary: call, nodes, confrontation and primary. Pierluigi Bersani and Roberto Speranza open, but they want a wide field and a left-wing alternative that also includes the Five Star Movement. “If it is a serious constituent path we will be there, but the worst way to face a re-foundation is to start with the game of stickers. Those who think of facing this difficult step with a simple count at the gazebos have not understood the extent of the problem”. This was stated by the Minister of Health, and secretary of Article 1, Roberto Speranza in an interview in the ‘Corriere della sera’.
“We have made many races to the gazebos, but in the polls the votes have been less and less – observes Speranza – if we question the name, symbol and model, it is also right to discuss whether the gazebos are the right way to choose the secretary”.
“With Bersani and others, we were the first to ask for the courage to build something new – he notes – due to the difficulty of the center-left to get out of the restricted area the social representation of wealthy and well-educated people. In Letta’s letter there are words that go in the right direction. Constituent Congress? I say yes, if it is a profound path, which calls identity into question, up to the name and the symbol “.” I see a path in two stages – concludes Speranza – we must first reconstruct the pivotal party of the alternative, then start over discuss with all those who want to prevent the right from taking us back on work, the environment and rights. The first progressive force is us. But it is good that the 5 stars have chosen more completely the location within this fieldalternative we must also build it with them. Let’s not forget that with Conte and the Third Pole we have already governed together “.
Occhetto: “Pd unpleasant, the name does not count: he must find his identity”
Achille Occhetto, last secretary of the PCI, says instead in an interview with Repubblica: “I have always maintained that one of the defects of the in 1989, attention was focused on the change of the name of the PCI, when instead I maintained that the contents of the new party had to be defined first: nomina sunt consequentia rerum “.
Occhetto tells Repubblica that “The Democratic Party should first understand what he wants to do, who he intends to represent. What is his identity? He doesn’t know anymore”. Today “there are those who define it as a radical mass party, which has separated the values of civil rights from social ones. But for the former, simple declarations are enough, for the latter, on the other hand, you have to roll up your sleeves every day in social practice. That’s exactly what didn’t happen. “
And to the question of the Republic if today the Democratic Party is unpleasant, Occhetto replies: “There is no doubt. The balance between reason and sentiment has jumped; the reason for responsibility and the sentiment towards strong passions. Governism was his true disease “.
