ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I have had a lot of doubts, I am more than torn, but I believe that for respect to my political and personal dignity the time has come to leave the Democratic Party of Elly Schlein which has become a place other than what we founded and because I have always asked politics the strength and courage to make in conscience the most just choices. Now it’s my turn to have courage. After the years of Margaret, we tried to unite the country’s best democratic traditions, to reconcile social justice with individual freedom, to bring together socialist and liberal aspirations. This was and should have been the Pd. But he was undermined by inexorable slippages, without even a real discussion, without even the privilege of being able to discuss it at a congress, as I have repeatedly asked. The Pd we wanted to the Lingotto no longer exists and it is necessary to take note of it, but the reasons for which it was born still exist. I remain democratic, I am not going back.” Pina Picierno, Vice-President of the European Parliament, says that in Il Foglio argues his choice to leave the Pd.
“I believe that there is a need to restore dignity and unity to millions of voters who have progressively abandoned the Democratic Party by choosing other proposals on the right or left or staying at home. This diaspora must be recomposed outside the coalition alchemy and from the reduction in tents and bushes, of old and new formulas. It serves a coherent and popular reformism, capable of exciting and triggering that spark to build with confidence change. I believe that there can be and there must be a common commitment to bring together the differences and the stories, a new broad political subject, which keeps together, which is born to unite different political experiences and personalities. I put myself at the service of this idea and of this project” he added.
