07 September 2020Referendum, reforms, Recovery fund: these are Nicola Zingaretti's three 'Rs' in support of the Yes to the cut of parliamentarians.

In his report to the dem management, the secretary stressed several times that these are three decisive steps for the future of the country, in front of which we need concreteness: "We have crucial days ahead of us, we need concreteness and realism. Our choices will weigh on our decisions. future of the new generations ".

And here Zingaretti puts in a remark that sounds like a warning: "The Democratic Party supports the government as long as it does the things the country needs. But if the situation of the Republic worsens, the commitment of the Democratic Party would be useless".

At the moment, he adds, it does not seem that we are going in this direction.

"We have a historic opportunity to modernize the country and tackle structural problems. As Pd we reacted with all our strength for this result: even the M5s were among the Eurosceptics until a year ago. So let's start with the work done, let's start and think. now to the tests that await us knowing that we cannot make mistakes. A government alliance is not at stake, the Democratic Party is not at stake, but the stability of the country in the coming years is at stake ". The allies, however, are warned.

The dem secretary claims the choice, made 12 months ago, to give life to the executive, especially in light of the management of the epidemic and the results obtained in Europe.

"We had to pay a price in the name of the salvation of the republic, without this government we would not have been able to face the pandemic. Populism, nationalism, once they have gone to the government, generate problems rather than solutions, as seen in other parts of the world. Today we have a different horizon than a year ago, Italy is leading the renewal of Europe, on the other side there were those who worked on an Italexit. But beware: there is still a strong, rocky consensus ".

Facts that make, for Zingaretti, even more incomprehensible the 'niet' arrived from the allies on the dem proposal of alliances in all the Regions.

Two weeks after the vote, however, it is useless if not harmful to continue to complain.

Zingaretti's appeal, then, moves from parties to voters.

"No candidate outside the alliances that we have built has the slightest chance to succeed. For this we must unite an electorate that if united wins, if it is divided it loses", says Zingaretti who, on the topic of regional, also replies to Matteo Salvini.

"I read that on the right there are those who, dreaming, speak of a 7-0" at the Regionals.

The Democratic Party will prevent it, our electorate is already more united than the leadership group ", he assures. From the regional to the referendum: two closely connected matches, as well as the entirely parliamentary one of the reforms. Zingaretti invites us to reflect on the fact that the Yes should not be motivated from the savings that it would entail for public accounts, and from the path of reforms that it would open.

The House has already reopened the work on a proportional law and the Fornaro law proposal. And so that the seriousness of the intentions of the Democratic Party is clear to the allies , Zingaretti marries Luciano Violante's proposal to launch a collection of signatures for overcoming perfect bicameralism. A proposal also made a few weeks ago by the president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission of Palazzo Madama, senator dem Dario Parrini. "I make mine the proposal of Luciano Violante to accompany the campaign for the Yes to the referendum with a collection of signatures for differentiated bicameralism

or.

It will be a way, albeit with different choices that there will be, to unite the Democratic Party ", says the secretary before leaving the floor to the direction to which he proposes" to take this indication for Yes by integrating in our battle so many arguments that have emerged ". 

"The management is still ongoing.

the secretary made a great report which I shared.

If

you want to know my position on the referendum, I think it would be right to vote no. "So I senator dem, Luigi Zanda, as he left the headquarters of the Democratic Party of the Nazarene, where the

management

is underway

." Government - concluded Zanda - said Zingaretti well. "

At the end of the Pd management, according to what is learned, the report of the secretary Nicola Zingaretti (without the part on the referendum) and an agenda on the referendum.

"Out of respect for the community of the Democratic Party, I intervene in this direction, but I will not participate in the final vote

because this body is emptied of meaning after the ' yes official of the Democratic Party has been repeatedly announced in the press and TV, despite the pact of a year ago is waste paper since the

electoral law is on the high seas ". Francesco Verducci said this, as we learn, during the leadership of the Democratic Party announcing that the Orfini area will not participate in the vote at the end of the meeting.

" This cut is faced with exasperated tactics in order to secure the strategic alliance with the 5S, while instead this vote is a fundamental watershed that concerns our identity and

political

culture

, the relationship with society.

In order to support the 5S we are doing a huge favor to an illiberal and dangerous right, in Italy and in Europe ".

" I support the yes in the referendum for the cut of the parliamentarians and Now I also ask the PD to relaunch the

single-chamber proposal with confidence and constructive mistrust to be voted in joint chambers, also bringing the State-Regions Conference into the Constitution. "Thus, in a note, Maurizio Martina, of the Democratic Party.
