Reggio Emilia, Sept. 14 (LaPresse) – “This is the meaning of the challenge: to build a Democratic Party that increasingly resembles the festivals of its activists. To build a new project that is nourished by the cultures from which it was born, blending them together.” With these words PD leader Elly Schlein closed the National Unity Festival in Reggio Emilia. “A plural party, and let’s hold on to it tightly amidst all these personal parties. We have stubbornly pursued one goal: unity, unity, unity. We are proud to have built a center-left alliance in all the Regions heading to the polls. Moving forward united, something that hadn’t happened in 20 years. I say to Giorgia Meloni and the right: get used to it, because we will no longer do you the favor of dividing ourselves. United and compact, we will defeat you, first in the Regional elections and then in the General elections. I am convinced we will succeed. I am convinced we will build step by step the progressive alliance to defeat the right and change this country,” she added.
