My candidacy as the Secretary of the PD

This evening saw the presentation of 2,961 signatures supporting me as a candidate for the position of leader of the PD at the Primaries on 14 October. Italia dei Valori knows perfectly well that choosing to take part in the process leading to the formation of the Democratic Party is ‘risky’ if you look at it with the eyes of those who are attached to their own back garden. And yet we want to give, with courage, our convinced contribution to this process because it’s no longer the time of one-sided choices and of subordinating the general interest to those of specific groups.
We have to put everything in play and bet on a more wide-ranging project, that can give back some air to Italian politics, rebuilding the trust of the citizens in relation to their representatives and the institutions, through a participation space that has new methods, new content and a new form of organisation.
