We have tried in every way, with the political agreement signed with the 5 Star Movement of Manfredonia, to give body and substance to an idea of an alternative city, founded on the values of legality, inclusion, social and cultural relaunch. Today we are forced to take note of the silence that the M5S, at all levels, he brought down that agreement, effectively sanctioning its rupture.
The vision underlying that pact was based on the progressive, democratic and popular ideals of the center-left, which remain at the basis of our political thinking and action. Which we will never abandon. The tight deadlines of electoral competition do not prevent us from pursuing the best ways to achieve those objectives; the paths we will try to follow will certainly not be those of improvisation or unnatural alliances.
We do not want to give up the idea that it is still possible to work together on the realization of that project, also by making an effort to overcome the differences that, until now, have prevented the creation of a broader centre-left political field.
We owe it to the citizens and to our history: we do not want to leave Manfredonia at the mercy of a government guided by populism, superficiality and improvisation, like the one that has befallen us in the last two years. Or abandon the city adrift of a right at all levels that is increasingly authoritarian and self-referential, completely unfit to take charge of the social emergencies that mark our time.
We remain on the field, with the strength of the women and men who animate our club every day. Certain of meeting traveling companions who, like us, still cultivate the hope of a better, humanly and naturally sustainable future.
