Count “The goal is to change Italy, we are not willing to back up”

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “We can’t miss, nobody can back, nobody can retrace. It is the time for a radically, authentically progressive policy.” Thus the leader of the 5 Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, intervening from the stage of Nova, the current party kermesse in Milan. Conte then spoke of “a coalition project, a solid, coherent progressive project, which must last five years”, stressing that for many reforms “we also need time”. “Here there are no personal ambitions between us and not even party ambitions,” he added, observing that in the document the name of the 5 Star Movement does not appear: “For us the party ambitions come after, in the first place there is the goal of changing Italy in the interest of all.”.

“If this is the goal, we are not willing to take a step back and not even back a millimeter,” he said. Conte therefore indicated the need to change from foreign policy: “We must shake from the foundations this numbness that is in Brussels, at the international summits, a sort of resignation to war and the dominance of the great financial and technocratic powers.”.

“A topic of very strong discussion, which concerns everyone is health: health is not a privilege. We have written it and we sell it clearly: it cannot count the credit card, it counts the health card, everywhere, all over the territory. That is why it is necessary to work because regional management, that modification which was introduced to the fifth title of the Constitution, has provided many details. Today this right to health, which should be universally offered to all, is not guaranteed equally and equally throughout the territory. We must also review that principle in order to guarantee at least the powers of coordination of the State in the management of the national health service, then we still say: via politics from appointments in health. We will tell everyone, all political forces. The policy has entered the health system. If we go to the government, forget it.”.

“The common note of all the proposals received is that they all live in implementing our constitution. They aim directly at social justice, environmental justice, widening participation, strengthening our democracy. These are the principles and values of our constitution. That is why, knowing your sensitivity, I have long proposed: we call this progressive project “Alliance for the Constitution“. I want to be clear: we must not lose sight. And now comes the most important step,” he explains.

“We must put the helmet on it – continues Conte, but not the helmet of Crosetto or all those who are now taken by the warlock. But the helmet of builders of peace. We are unarmed, but not for this little determined. But beware, I interpret this mandate in clear and precise terms because we express a clear vision and politics without vision means administration of power, ordinary administration. I have to put myself together with you, bravely. I have to put decision-making strength because vision without courage, without decision-making power, is lost in the many revels of daily compromises: it produces beautiful words, but no change. We need a strong and clear mandate to change Italy. We can do it. We got to do it. Difficult of those who will begin to tell you that they will stop you. Look, it depends on us, we’ve already been through. We are those of the 209 billion when they said “let’s stay”. We are those of the blockade of dismissals when they told us it was a Soviet measure, we are those of the rescue of 1 million people from poverty in the period of pandemic, the hardest year since the post-war period.”.

“We are the ones who care about entering the club of those who count – he adds. It’s enough for us to go on the street, talk to people and be able to look it upside down. We are the ones that we carry every form of pressure, even of the press also in the regime printing, because we just have the approval of those who pass it wrong. Italy can change: we can change it all together, we can make it fairer, more just and you will see that we can become an international model. When you draw a track, you have a clear vision or a project, then become contagious. See that there is a need to create a model at an international level, because now it seems that the whole world has lost its compass. It seems to sail in a sea of difficulty and uncertainties. It depends on you, it depends on us to collect this challenge. It seems to me that we can collect it and that we can share Italy from here. Thank you, move, thank you all. Moving force, let us all move,” says Conte.
