"Let's try because we never wanted or wanted early political elections and we don't want them now."

Thus Nicola Zingaretti in the direction of the Democratic Party, making a point on the government crisis.

"Those who have done well in recent days, after the opening of the crisis in the dark, have reported this danger because it is real. Reporting the danger of a hole on the road is the opposite of wanting to end up in it".

No resentment towards IV, but reliability is needed

Zingaretti denies "resentments" towards living Italy, but remembers that there is a problem of "credibility" of that party, after the choices made in recent weeks, and now "reliability" must be guaranteed.

"As far as I'm concerned, the issue of the relationship with Italia Viva has nothing to do with an aspect of resentment for the past, but of legitimate well-founded doubts about reliability for the future".

In short, "no veto, but a political aspect to take into consideration, not out of a polemical spirit that does not belong to me, but because we will be judged by the Italians on the sincerity and credibility of the words we will use to define the new government that we will decide to to sustain".

The Pd leader added: "Evaluating the credibility of the composition of a government that we hope to be stable and lasting is not a polemical pretext but a duty of responsibility towards the country. Otherwise the words lose their meaning and demand a strong and broad coalition and a authoritative executive that lasts the entire legislature would be unrealistic and vain ".

"For this - he concluded - I say let's try. Certainly without vetoes, but at the same time I say clarity. Loyalty. Transparency. Measure".

The unity of the Democratic Party will be fundamental in the coming hours

"Our unity, true and non-formal, will be fundamental also in the next few hours, because the very possibility of affecting the complex political processes that have opened up depends on it." 

We will

try to the

"Let's try to build around Conte" a new government with a broad parliamentary base, Conte "which governed with us, which thanks above all to the alliance with the Democratic Party on the right track. 'Italy with its relationship with Europe and with the world, which is a point of balance not only in the relationship with the 5-star Movement which they knew from the beginning difficult but which in the end took important steps forward, which it is considered by a large part of public opinion to be an important resource, and that it would be not only unfair, but unrealistic and adventurous to change "concluded Zingaretti.

"To try to achieve this government to the last, to commit all our efforts to achieve this result and to overcome shortcomings, delays, difficulties that we have had, as the Count himself recalled, in a supportive, frank but never destructive confrontation is a our essential duty ".
