Italia dei Valori at Vasto

Italia dei Valori’s first national conference has started at Vasto. I thank all of those who have made this event possible.

In my opening address I tackled the topics that are most important for our country, and are often discussed in this blog, like the development of the economy, of energy, like foreign policy and the future of democratic parties. However the most important is the future of our ideas and how to put them into effect.

Italia dei Valori is alive, made up of honest people, of people who believe of the values of justice and of work. Italy has come out of a disastrous period, of a 5-year period in which values of solidarity and social justice have almost been emptied of significance.
Italia dei Valori will have sense and it will have meaning, not by increasing the number of electors by a few percentage points nor by having more members elected to the Lower House or to town councils, but only if it can bring innovation to Italy.

If we can mobilise the capable and honest people of our country. How long has Italy been stationary? Now is the time to start moving and Vasto is the starting point.
