Following the recent statements of regional councilor Ferruccio Sansa, which invited centre-left politicians not to participate in Primocanale broadcasts (READ HERE), the responses arrived from the leaders of the Ligurian and Genoese Democratic Party.
Davide Natalesecretary of the Ligurian PD, e Simone D’Angelosecretary of the PD of Genoa, express their opinions on the issue in a note, effectively underlining the official position of the party.
“Democracy needs more voices to be such. For this reason the Democratic party In these years he has never shied away from the debate, wherever it took place, be it a square, a street, an auditorium or a television platform.
In a context that gives us an ever-increasing distance from institutions, with a politics that risks appearing increasingly voiceless, making our voice reach the citizens is not an electoral priority, but the firmest belief that those distances can be reduced through participation and information, the only antidotes to the fragility of democracy.
Il Democratic party he never divided between good questions and bad questions, or worse, between good journalists and bad journalists.
The media plays an essential role in the democracy. And we will continue to answer everyone’s questions, in the interests of citizens and democracy.
We did it even when there were ideas divergent and the editorial line distant from us.
We did it on healthcare, denouncing the absurd waiting lists, the shortages of hospital staff, the failed management of Alisa. On work, underlining the explosion of precarious employment, the worst wages in Northern Italy and the flight of many (too many) young people from our Region. We did it onenvironmentexpressing our firm opposition to regasification plant in Vado, demanding the defense and expansion of protected natural areas such as Portovenere or Portofinocriticizing the idea of building road works in the riverbed Bisagno Stream in Genoa, with a flood control point practically at a standstill.
Today more than ever, in our Regionlet’s hear the reasons to be listened to. Because Liguria needs an alternative and the Democratic Party is a candidate to lead it”.
