Alliances Based on Programme Contents

I want to reassure Italia dei Valori voters. I have no intention to merge with the UDC nor with the UDEUR, nor with Casini nor with Mastella. UDC and UDEUR are positioned at the centre of Italian politics and in this sense, it is possible to say that there is affinity in terms of the electorate. That’s all.
Italia dei Valori however is more interested in the contents of the programme, rather than in the old definitions of left, centre and right. Definitions that no longer have meaning.
Whoever shares our objectives of the rule of law and the innovation of the country will be our ally. If our positions on the electoral laws are shared by the UDC, UDEUR, Lega Nord, Margherita and the other parties, then there will be an actual alliance based on the contents.
I believe that Italia dei Valori can and must walk with its own legs and place itself in time as an alternative to the party system that is putting the brakes on the development of our country.
