Schlein calls for a vote and asks for acceleration on the common program

We are and will be ready whenever we need to vote. It is Meloni who must tell us when he will take us to the vote, and given that the government has been unnecessarily long, the sooner the better for the country." This was said by PD secretary Elly Schlein at the closing rally of the national Unity celebration in Reggio Emilia.

"Now it's time to accelerate on the common program", he then urged the allies. "It's time to accelerate. We don't start from scratch. A sum of concrete proposals will not be enough, values are needed, we must offer the country a vision of the present and the future".

"We have pursued two fundamental objectives: the unity of the Democratic Party, which is the premise for the unity of the Progressive Alliance, which will finally defeat these right-wing parties. You deserve an alternative after Meloni's failure. We owed this unity to you. We are stubbornly united because you ask us to do so," said Schlein. "Today, after three and a half years, not only is there a progressive alliance that has presented itself together in all regions but which governs and governs well."

"The Democratic Party - he continued - is an essential pivot for the alternative. We want to make it generously available to a broader and more unitary project."
