“In analyzing the vote I cannot hide my satisfaction with the result achieved by the Democratic Party at a national level which places us, without any doubt, at the head of the front that opposes and will oppose this centre-right government until the end. The result is even more significant considering the right-wing wind that is blowing in Europe. And for this I want to thank our secretary, Elly Schlein, leader in the Islands constituency who spent herself personally, touring Sicily far and wide, without sparing herself, as no other secretary and national manager has ever done before. from now.” Thus the regional secretary of the Sicily Democratic Party, Anthony Barbagallo, following the outcome of the European consultations.
“The Sicilian Democratic Party – he continues – recovers more than 2 points compared to the data of both the latest policies and the latest regional ones and this shows that the work we are doing is bearing fruit. For this I want to thank all our voters who believed in us and naturally the candidates of the PD list and, in particular, those who, representing civil society, have broadened our political proposal”.
“The data also says that – he adds – we are the only opposition force present at the Ars that is growing and consolidating. And these numbers place the burden on the Democratic Party to build an alternative agenda to Schifani by involving the civic networks that have contributed to putting this party back in tune with society. To relaunch the party’s action, after the summer we will start the congress phase to broaden the perimeter to vital worlds and associations and invest more and more in local clubs and young people”. “We will immediately be at work to – he continues – continue our battles on differentiated autonomy, public health, public schools, legality and work. In short, the reformative action of the Sicilian party does not stop. To Peppino Lupo – he concludes -, on behalf of the entire party, my warmest congratulations. I know him well and I know that he will carry the name of the Sicilian Democratic Party high in Brussels.”
