“Today we couldn’t be anywhere else, exactly 40 years after that 7 June 1984 which marked history. A dramatic date because it was the last rally, in this very square, of Enrico Berlinguer, one of the most extraordinary political figures not only in Italy, but in Europe and the world”. The secretary of the Democratic Party said it from Padua, Elly Schlein, on the occasion of the closing of the electoral campaign for the European elections. Berlinguer “is still today, for us, a great example of the way of being in politics: great humanity and at the same time extraordinary authority”, declared the leader of the Democratic Party.
Enrico Berlinguer looked at “peace as a goal to be built through negotiations”, added Schlein, who underlines how Berlinguer was “one of the most attentive leaders of his time and was able to sense the signs of the new times”.
The nationalist right in government “instead of looking for solutions offer one scapegoat a day, usually migrants, women who are too emancipated for their tastes, magistrates, journalists and climate activists,” said Schlein. “The nationalist right-wing forces strengthen each other with a rhetoric of hatred and intolerance”.
Speaking about the conflict in the Middle East, the secretary of the Democratic Party called for “an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to stop the unacceptable massacre of civilians underway, to free the hostages in the hands of Hamas and to bring the necessary humanitarian aid. We also ask to undertake the solution of two peoples and two states – she underlined -. The State of Palestine has never been recognized and the international community is to blame” and “we ask that this happen because the Palestinians have the right to live in peace and security”, she underlined.
