01 April 2021 Did you expect to become secretary of the Democratic Party? "No, I didn't expect it. When they called me I said: the solution is a woman" to lead the Democratic Party "and I proposed a woman".



Who called him? "A lot of people called me, there was a lot of pressure. I feel more pressure today, more support, more help than when I was Prime Minister eight years ago."



Thus the secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, during the episode of 'Porta a porta' which will be broadcast this evening.



Draghi is our ace

Read terminator?

Read 2, the revenge?

"Absolutely not, I'm very good. I'm determined, yes, because I believe that Italy needs determination to get out of the pandemic. We played the ace, Mario Draghi, and it absolutely must succeed." 



Salvini misplaced on Speranza

"I believe that the line must be a strict part, the month of April must be the month in which we defeat Covid, but beware of who by closing is safeguarding everyone's health. I believe that a business decree is necessary that intervene on fixed costs, we need to give strong help. Salvini said we commissioner Hope? These words are completely out of place, we must be united without creating expectations that will then be frustrated ".



Salvini from Orban

"I saw Salvini who went to visit Orban. It is Salvini who must motivate his U-turn on Draghi. It is as if I, who am a notorious AC Milan fan, went under the Inter curve with the Nerazzurri shirt." 



Internal

opposition Will Marcucci make internal opposition?

"I think there will be a need for everyone in the Democratic Party and I think above all that there will be a need for great unity, because if we think that in these days there are more than 400, 500 deaths from Covid, I think we all have a responsibility towards the country , people's health and that we must help the government ".

So Enrico Letta.



For the M5s I bet on Conte

"It is a question that I have very clear: I believe that we must build an alliance if the Democratic Party is strong, leader, and that it is an alliance not only with the 5 stars, but also with other forces. I bet on the evolution of the M5s. On two aspects: the first has already happened with the Conte 2 government which dealt with the Next generation Eu. The second is today, with Conte who takes the lead and is responsible for leading him towards a path that is compatible, not the same, but compatible with us ".



Copasir

"Lega and FdI are arguing over many things, for example Copasir. I read the law. Today I am in the majority, but I could be opposition. The Parliamentary Committee for the security of the Republic is chaired by a member of the opposition. Today it is chaired by the League. I no longer have sympathies for one or the other, but the guarantee rules must be applied. The Democratic Party will take an initiative against the presidents of the chambers ". 



Young people

"The dowry for eighteen year olds I consider fundamental. I bet on our children. We must give them the opportunity to bet on their future and also give families some relief. It is important to help families because the real trouble is this country is the birth rate ".



Women

"There is a woman who leads the EU Commission, one who leads the ECB, one who leads the WTO, all things more complicated than the Democratic Party". 



Raggi

Virginia Raggi drove Rome for almost five years and we give a "negative opinion" of it.



Renzi

"I will meet Italia alive in the next few days. Even Matteo Renzi, who is the leader. I have no problems with anyone, I have largely overcome everything. Indeed, when I see him I will thank him because if he had not been there I would not have done six best years of my life ".



The pandemic

On the pandemic "the right line is the one said by Draghi: on the one hand, rigor to defeat it, on the other hand, pay attention to those who, by closing, are keeping our health as a guarantee. So I believe that a business decree is necessary, for example to support fixed costs ".



"We must be united because the health of citizens must be safeguarded and support given to businesses without creating expectations that are then disregarded and frustrated. To those who say that we will reopen in two weeks, I say attention!".



Ius soli

"In my opinion we must put all the political forces around a table, putting aside the issue of migrants, boats, which is another game. Here we are talking about children who were born in Italy and we must integrate them. Why not ? ".



Changing the Pd

"37 thousand people took part in the assemblies of the Pd clubs in ten days, there were 2,700 club assemblies throughout Italy. The last one, Ravenna, I did it before coming here. I asked how to organize the Agora dem, the path I intend to take from June to December. I'm not here to get by, I want to transform the Democratic Party and Italian democracy. Will I be ambitious? No. On the one hand there are the parties of the leader, on the other the M5s and then there it is us and we must enter into a global discourse on the future of democracy. With Covid the EU Parliament voted at a distance, I want to get members to vote on the main issues, this cuts the current ". 



The years in Paris

"For me, these six and a half years in Paris with students, with young people from all over the world have been extraordinary. I had founded a No Profit to give free training to young Italians, 100 a year, at institutions. Living closely contact with the twenties has changed my life, it has given me optimism for the future, it is an extraordinary generation, they have given me new energy ". 



Recovery

"The real question today is the following: we Italians have a double responsibility, using the Recovery money well and restarting the work, but that would also be the success of the Next Generation Eu operation which should become permanent. Because it can be something that lasts forever, a way in which Europe finds money from outside and makes investments with it. But we Italians must be credible, united and spend well. The operation around Draghi is for this. unique moment in the history of Italy ".



Summer

"We must save the summer and the vaccination passport is fundamental. If we all put our effort into it we can do it."
