On Friday 7 March, I presented four candidates chosen from civil society and from politics. Pancho Pardi is the top of the list in Tuscany for the Senate, Teresa Cordopatri is the top of the list in Calabria for the Senate, Elio Lannutti is the top of the list in Veneto for the Senate and Beppe Giulietti in Piedmont for the Chamber of Deputies.
I’m publishing my speech and the first of the four speeches, that of Pancho Pardi. The others will follow in the next few days.

”The Party cannot be a closed Caste, but it must open up to the best professionalisms, to the best energy and resources that civil and political society can supply. This is why every time we have seen that there was the possibility that even people external to Italia dei Valor could have, through our election participation, the possibility of being in Parliament and of representing the diverse interests and the reasoning of the people, we have taken important steps back to make the best candidate positions available to them. We have even done that yesterday with Beppe Lumia, we have even repeated our availability this morning to Nando Della Chiesa, because we believe that the forthcoming legislature is important, a turning point, and it is better that there are the best professionalisms and personalities committed in the battles for transparency, for the rule of law and the battle against illegality, both in terms of organised crime as well as economic-financial (so-called “white”) but that also does a lot of harm.”

Shortly there’ll be the whole text of the speech.
