20 August 2019 "The fundamental point to discuss is that in this country a climate of hatred has been created, also the result of the language of politics. How can you not be surprised when a black boy cannot enter a beach in the North East despite having an Italian identity card? These are scenes that went well in the Alabama of the 1950s, not in Italy in 2020 ". So Matteo Renzi in his speech in the Senate. "I - adds the exponent Pd - respect his faith which I feel I can share, even in different ways. And then I ask you to look at the Gospel, obviously according to Matthew, when he says' I was hungry and you gave me food, I had thirsty and you gave me drink. "If he believes in those values, let those people remain hostage even now of a shameful policy."

"It would be very easy today to watch the show smiling but the situation in the country imposes a surplus of responsibility on everyone": this is how Senator del Pd Matteo Renzi opened his speech to the Senate on the crisis of government. "You resign - said the former leader of the Democratic Party, addressing the President of the Council Giuseppe Conte - but the government that you have proudly described as populist has failed. The populist experiment works well in the electoral campaign, less when it comes to governing" . "You said - continued Renzi - 'with this opposition we will govern thirty years', you have governed not very well, in truth, a year. Giorgetti has destroyed my photo when you have settled in. If I look at the Istat data it is true: not we will do our end. We took the country with a GDP of 2% and left it at 1.7, with an industrial production with the plus sign and the tax burden reduced by two points ". "You have served the country - he said - but your economic results are a failure".

"It is not a coup d'état a new government - added Renzi - but opening a crisis is a sunstroke. We are not on the beach at Papeete". And he underlines: "I will not be in the new government if it were born".

"Salvini, clarify the story of his relations with Russia", Renzi finally asked forcefully.
